I don't want my Claude to sound "natural". Claude is a robot and it should do behave like a robot. It should do what it's told. Nothing more and nothing less.

Can you link to the SaaS that set you up very comfortable for the rest of your life?

I could do this before too. The way I work is that I just write some functions, fully annotated, in whatever language the project is in, with a comment on what I expect the code to do, and an empty return. Then get an LLM to fill in the fun

My biggest issue with these type of posts is that they never answer the "why". Hell, they don't even ask the "why". > The more modular your code, the more agents you can run OK, but why would I want to run more a

For me personally, the goal of a take-home was always to see how the candidate walks through code, discusses code, and how well they take feedback. This is why I'd ask candidates for previously written code they were proud of, rather t

Wow, it's using NATS! I used NATS extensively 10+ years ago, and I'm happy to hear it's still around. Our infrastructure had hiccups across our fleet of machines, but one part that always remained up and running without compl

I'm pretty sure this is exactly what is happening in real life. I pressed F12 damnit! Go into the bios already!!

Right, so if it's happening already, nothing is going to change. Four days a week it is!

You're right. We need to bring back protracted violent strikes by unions and socialists!

Reading the code? Who has the time. Aah, I am sure the chickens of vibe coded origin, will never come to roost.

You could make this same post and replace any component with Wayland. At the end of the day the Linux community will continuously set the Linux Desktop back by N years. The most obvious case of this is Linus Tech Tips trying Linux to replac

I made some chocolates for my wife, it was a pretty fun project overall and a lot easier (if messier) than I thought it would be. Can highly recommend if you ever want to make an original present!

I've been struggling quite a bit the past year or two, coming to terms with a new reality that vibe coding is here to stay. After some introspection, I feel like the problem is tied to losing my identity more than anything else, and th

Even if I would've bought Nvidia, Bitcoin, or whatever stock... who is to say I would've had the balls to hold it all the way to whatever they're at today. I probably would've ended up like the guy who spent 10,000 bitco

I used custom elements extensively in 2014 when support was not as widespread. I think it's a beautiful, elegant solution and I'm still a little bit bitter that React became as big as it was. Now everything "has" to be a

I traveled often between Jakarta and Japan in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The real breath of fresh air for me was literally the fresh air back in Japan. After running around for a week through Jakarta, I would inevitably develop a deep cough and a

Sidenote, but I love that in a GitHub issue discussing banning the use of LLMs, the GitHub interface asks if there's anything I'd like to fix with CoPilot.
