I don’t think the artist should be irrelevant - the art is the expression of the artist’s emotions. Knowing about the artist unlocks a lot of depth in the art, it’s an attempt to share and express their perspective through creative means. N

It also makes a boring one. Friction is where interesting experiences, stories, and cultures are born.

On the other end of it, people regularly leave out the "why" and "how". Why do software factories not work at scale right now? What are the pieces of building software that agents don't excel at? Is it possible that

The devices were slowed because aging batteries creates unstable performance. It wasn't done to intentionally make them obsolete.

Where are you storing and fetching the users data to be able to query it in-browser? Are you pointing it at S3? Investigating a similar use case and trying to figure out what our infra could look like!

I'm sorry but it doesn't seem like you've actually read, or at least internalized, the article? These are direct quotes: > The nice thing about boringness (so constrained) is that the capabilities of these things are well

lol they're definitely not iterating on code. Instead they iterate on "ideas", with the expectation that code no longer matters because complexity will be self-resolving with agentic loops. Unfortunately these tools, and the

The justification I’ve been getting from others is that future models will resolve all the tech debt, so paying a cost to iterate fast now is worth it. We may be way past the point.

While it shouldn't be the absolute guide for every technical decision, it helps to have abstractions to capture the intuition and years of experience that goes into choosing a solution. It can make the discussions smoother. When I&#x27

Really appreciate the reply :) I’ve read a ton on ADHD and pretty suspect that I do have it, but didn’t want to claim anything before going through a proper diagnosis (which I’ll get to, eventually!). I just ordered “Delivered from Distract

I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD but this comment hits home. I also struggle to juggle multiple tasks and I’ve had to build a lot of personal strategies to be productive at my job. Otherwise I’d stay scatterbrained and never get anything

I’m just holding out for when this stuff becomes mainstream and automatically built into tooling. I don’t want to hold a retro with my agent. I actually want to spend as little time as possible talking with it.

I’m noticing a big divide between engineers who work in computational/library work and product work. And maybe a lot of this is coming from how we have to interact with people and how requirements are formed. I’m the latter, have been

Did you maybe consider that the 10 year timeline is not denial, but actually well educated reasoning based on Yuval’s experience and understanding of the problem space? You shouldn’t dismiss people’s thoughts as denial just because they don

How do you know your testing is complete if you're not sure what the underlying code does?

I don't think this argument holds. The OP made the very good point that most quality software teams are composed of both seniors and juniors, with the seniors (and even staff members sometimes) drawing the lines so that the system stay

Reading is beautiful because of language's inability to fully capture emotion and reality. Every author tries to tell a story in the way they think captures their perspective best. Every author and book you read is a different perspect

you should really consider trying things that don't exactly fit your ideals. Listen to music you don't think you'll like, or watch a movie that you've never heard of. You find threads that you do like and learn to unders

this doesn't work in any truly complex system. If the entire organization's shared understanding could be captured in a few documents, software engineering would've been a solved problem ages ago.

Thanks, that makes sense! I’m realizing that’s how I’ve been learning to approach it too and seeing the best results.

Do you feel like the ideas you’re getting from brainstorming these days are the same level of quality as in the past? I’ve been doing some of the same, but I’ve also been feeling like the downtime where I’m genuinely stuck is where my most

I resent my recent ancestors for tearing up all our cities in favour of motorways, and grateful only that it wasn’t worse. They thought that was progress though, and that cars were the only way to move into the future. I’m not against advan

Claude/ChatGPT is not good or elegant writing. Read a book or a short essay from a respected author and it becomes obvious why different styles of writing are actually discernible. AI-generated text feels void of life and unintentional

Proper rails, hygiene and architecture need to be actively maintained, they don’t just continue to exist in a developing codebase. Historically, a small proportion (the 10% as you say) had a disproportionate amount of influence on coding s

I'm not sure where this idea that REAL ID is a form of citizenship came from. I am not a citizen and i was given a REAL ID just by proving my legal (non-immigrant) status.
