I find this and Starship Troopers to fit in a similar niche for me. When I first saw them I found them very cringey, horrible, couldn't stand it. Hackers for the reasons being discussed here. ST because of how bastardized it was from t

Nothing about my post indicated that these things shouldn't be talked about and discussed. It's worth understanding how things work, even things that one personally need to use. Continue to stash ideas away and add them to your fu

They did mention Akka in their post, so I would assume that's one of them.

The other day I asked CC to plan using Opus a few small updates to a FastAPI backend & corresponding UI updates for a nextJS frontend. Then I had it implement using Sonnet. It used up nearly half of my 5 hour quota right there and the w

I agree, and why I hate that this has become a thing. I encountered the same thing as the GP which is from where my experience comes. I'd ask "Why did you choose X over Y" as I'm genuinely curious to know what tradeoffs

The “why did we do X and not Y?” style of question is a commonly used passive aggressive crutch to tell someone to do Y instead, while attempting to not look mean/harsh. Its the same reason people use “we” in the first place. You may n

There are layers to this: 1) There are different types of tests, for different purposes. Devs should be writing some of them. Other types & forms of testing, I agree that this is not in many dev's sweet spot. In other words, by the

This has been the case for these setups long before 996 came in vogue. For the extreme majority of people there's an upper bound on what they can actually get done over a period of time. Trying to squeeze more out of that becomes perfo

IMO it's one of those things where rebase is at first less intuitive but once you get it is a lot simpler & easier to reason about. In contrast merging at first seems more straightforward but is actually less so. that's not a
