jökla-mýs is a wonderful name, you gotta love icelandic. A swede might also associate it too "jäkla mys" - god damn cozy!

Interesting anecdote!

Yes exactly. Gave me a laugh, thank you!

In my experience there are unfortunately some people, call them X, who feel that they do not need to be in the office, while their colleagues feel that X do need to be in the office at least for some tasks/occasions. Not all tasks can

So, the plan is to work super hard until you are ~40, only to die in a car accident at 35? Don't plan to have fun later, because later may never come.

Yes, people (myself included) have a strong tendency to use hyperbolic factors, "ten times", "100x" because true estimates are very hard to do.

I have the same impression. It is an interesting phenomenon. Is it one of the ways we will gradually learn that AI in the form of LLMs is fundamentally lacking? I use AI all the time, it gives a tremendous boost in speed for many tasks and

No 4: getting off social media and HN is a good thing in general and in particular. There really is a distortion field around these sites that can make you feel sick.

I sympathize completely with you, but.. they robbed you of these moments of enjoying the art of programming itself at your day job . You are still free to enjoy it in your free time, just like I enjoy drawing or guitar playing in my free t

Yes precisely. In my eyes the lack of objective answers in much of philosophy makes it an easy target for humans getting lost in their own "rationality". People vastly overestimate their ability to reason and draw conclusions abou

I hope you can find joy again. People like you, who value the human side, are needed in this world. I agree that in recent years it has been going the wrong way, but to change it we have to work together.

The old man is absolutely pointing out a very real problem. It is too easy with LLMs to create crap PR:s. I learned Flask from Grinberg, god bless the man.

The kids are smarter than many of us think. We owe to them a world where they can feel hope and see a future. But much of the AI hype is built around declaring how dangerous and futile everything is. The students cheering Woz is not about t

But it also means we solve the same problems as before but faster, meaning less time is given to planning and thinking about what to actually build. This is a real problem where I work. Everyones grasp of what we are building and how it is

People choose between staying physically fit or have kids? I find that hard to believe.

The knees need exercise to be well. Nutrients are passed into meniscus etc by pressure cycling.

> We don't necessarily need hard separation of planning and coding, but we need a deliberate separation of experimental/explorative coding and the code that is supposed to make it into prod. AI coding does all that in the same

Pointless nit, but replace "essential" with "invaluable" for a play with words.

What, no, maybe I am missing something but as these steps to get good results? I don't need them all, and some/many seem just like common sense or too specific. Like "72 steps to mow your lawn". Like said so many times b
