The article mentioned speed of dev as a trait that's both a strength and a weakness. I suppose the opposite of that is quality orientated, but not very fast. What are other dimensions along which there's this duality of strength&#

I was thinking it could, actually, given a feedback loop. The tool use would a json that takes 13 circles, each with x, y position, radius, and whether it's filled in or empty, and output an image. It could look at the image and iterat

A reactive computational notebook with an effect system. Kinda like a "factorio for workflow processes." I want to use it to build backend pipelines or AI RAG pipelines. I'd be able to replay network effects for debugging. It

This split does exist, and I often refer others to https://josephg.com/blog/3-tribes/ There's a 3rd type of programmer, besides the first two you mentioned.

the text contains a math expression. The math expression can be interpreted as an abstract syntax tree. The AST can also be translated into bytecode and interpreted by a stack-based virtual machine. The op-codes are where you do that transl

For a given (x, y), you color the pixel black if you're outside of a shape, and color the pixel white if you're inside the shape. The math formula is a way to describe the contour of the shape. To tell if you're inside or out

Good read, thanks! It's always helpful to get honest surveys that give perspective to philosophical differences between them.

You should try it. I'd love to see what an engineer could do with building toasters from scratch.

If your goal is to write, the worst thing you can do as an engineer is to try and write your own blog engine, or fiddle around with some custom settings. Fight that urge. The thing to tackle is to figure out the habit of writing first. And
