There's a 15-year amortization period if a US company hires an offshore developer. It's only a 5-year period if the developer is American.

Go read lawyers complaining on reddit about pro se litigants using AI. They hallucinate precedents like APIs or get confused about what is supported. If you think SWEs that build the same CRUD apps every day are vulnerable but SWEs that d

The efficient market hypothesis also implies that it's impossible to consistently lose money for a given level of risk. Yet this happens all the time.

I don't bother with flakes I just create ephemeral nix shells and a `shell.nix` with the dependencies.

> I think the real answer is to get good enough with nix to build a flake quickly for the project you're working with I just have AI do it. Any of the coding assistants with terminal access can write and test flakes for you.

Try Roo Code in Orchestrator mode or Cline in plan mode. It will do tons of requirements analysis before starting work.

I used Cline+Claude 3.7 Sonnet for the initial draft of this LLVM PR. There's a lot of handholding and the final version was much different than the original. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/130

I need side projects and OSS contributions to get hired as a new graduate or an intern. The bar for both of those will be much higher if everyone is using AI.

I've never been able to one-shot a feature with an agent. It's much easier to "learn my way around the codebase" by watching the AI search the codebase and seeing its motivation/mental model. Going AFK is a terrible

As a junior developer it's much easier for me to jump into a new codebase or language and make an impact. I just shipped a new error message in LLVM because Cline found the 5 spots in 10k+ files where I needed to make the code changes.

If we could directly convert the food energy of a Snickers bar to electricity we could easily power AI. A Snickers bar has 250 kcal, which is 1000 kJ or about 250 grams of TNT.[ https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=250+kcal+i
