I don't know, it's hard to tell sometimes. I thought it was making some pretty reasonable points.

This is _such_ a good article -- although it's not _just_ CEOs that make this mistake! I've used the "Icerberg Principle" to explain this kind of thing many times. And it's true not just for AI but for almost any ki

As an infrequent user of iMovie (and a past user of Xcode), I think that iMovie really gives Xcode a run for its money in bad UX. How that app got out of the lab like that is profoundly beyond my understanding. It’s not just bugs as such, b

It's worth quoting "Gall's Law" [0] here: > “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched u

Ok. I’ll fix it. Thanks. I’m genuinely surprised how much controversy this statement has caused. It’s something I’ve said many times in a professional environment and literally no one has ever picked me up on it. Makes me wonder if they wer

Sorry, it didn't land for you. It's something I've used for a while ("glass" for the screen, and "tin" for the back-end). Perhaps I'm showing my age or my Aussie slang. Thanks for reading, in any case

I won't comment on TypeScript (other than to bemoan its JavaScript origins), but for what it's worth, people I hold in high esteem have a lot of good things to say about it. But as far as LLM-assisted coding goes, the pure functio

I'm curious about the areas you've struggled with, particularly number 3. I have found the DevX to be particularly great and one of the strongest aspects of Elixir. I abhor JS as a language (I know, I know, I'm fully aware of

This is amazing. Replace “Atari 800” with “TI 99/4a” (and the fact that he eventually finished the game) and you have the story of my early life as a programmer! Well done for shipping. That’s the hardest thing of all to do!

I think this article is pretty spot on — it articulates something I’ve come to appreciate about LLM-assisted coding over the past few months. I started out very sceptical. When Claude Code landed, I got completely seduced — borderline addic

For the record, I'm not endorsing this post. I'm just interested in hearing about other people's experiences using these tools. My experience with Claude Code + Elixir has been ... interesting. It was a complete train wreck a
