I'm 5'7" thank you very much. That's above average in some regions.

My first programming job, I had a private office to myself. It was amazing. I close the door, I’m left alone. I leave it open, people stop and talk and I walk and talk to them if their door is open. Was incredible. Never had anything like i

I'm just joking. This is cool stuff you made.

I don't know if everything in the book "Careless People" is accurate, but there's a lot of quoted emails saying that this is all part of Meta's playbook.

I've had conversations with people who wanted to learn how to code. I found that teaching someone how to code is tedious experience. It's just a bunch of memorization and bafflement at how quickly someone else can do things at t

I'm not the first person to notice this but, since I switched to Pixelfed and Mastodon, I've found that I just don't spend as much time on social media as I used to. It's not that I don't follow good people, but wi

Slashdot's rating system was the best I've ever seen. But I'm sure it doesn't help improve engagement, in fact the system had so many rules (for an online ratings system) that I'd guess it reduced engagement. Whic

Ordered Fire Upon the Deep. Looks interesting.

Interesting, I kinda do this. Sometimes when an LLM solves a problem for me, I have it write code so that I can reuse that exact same approach deterministically(and I line by line check it). Now I have about a dozen CLI commands that the

I'm generally pro "llm assisted coding" or whatever you want to call it. But I do somethings think about the Butlerian Jihad from Dune. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune:_The_Butlerian_Jihad

There is no data to support your last paragraph. But it is fun to talk about how dumb the “other” people are.

I occasionally type into slack "Future lawyers, the previous conversation is a joke. No one is doing cocaine to get through writing requirements docs."

Maybe it’s the old man in me but I’d venture to say most things in Bloomberg don’t need to be in Bloomberg. I’d love it if a news site said occasionally, “there’s nothing really news worthy today. Yesterday’s important stuff will do.” Also

"Not, of course, that there is any magic about the past. People were no cleverer then than they are now; they made as many mistakes as we. But not the same mistakes. They will not flatter us in the errors we are already committing; and

As long as they keep making that music, wearing those costumes and mumbling those interviews, I could care less. I like it.

I was not an athlete growing up. Didn't do much in organized sports. But all three of my kids play a team sport. It does wonders for them. I really helped them get out of the pandemic. But having them outside several hours a week, w

Of course I still have times when Claude fumbles the fix. But the number of times it gets it exactly right far outnumber the times it can't get right. Compare that to the number of SO issues I've had to go through to get near a

I love that I don’t have to look thru SO looking for a problem that’s kind of like the one I’m having. I have a problem solved based on my exact code taking my entire code base into account. And if I want a biting sarcastic review of my man

I went the same way. At first I was splitting off work trees and running all the agents that I could afford, then I realized I just can't keep up with it all, running few agents around one issue in one directory is fast enough. Way f

If you can, run several agents. They document their process. Trade offs considered, reasoning. Etc. it’s not a full log of the session but a reasonable history of how the code came to be. Commit it with the code. Namespace it however you wa

They are great, but they are expensive. I can run those against the cheaper ollama cloud models for things that are basically requirements gathering and review of a plan. The Product Designer Agent and the Product Manager basically argue

by genghisjahn 8mo ago
I use Claude Code as an orchestrator and have the agents use different models: product-designer ollama-cloud / qwen3.5:cloud pm ollama-cloud / glm-5:cloud test-writer claude-code / Sonnet 4.6
