are LLM codebases not messy? Claude by default, unless I tell it not to, will write stuff like: // we need something to be true somethingPasses = something() if (!somethingPasses) { return false }

I don't exactly disagree with this but I have seen models simply deleting the tests , or updating the tests to pass and declaring the failures were "unrelated to my changes", so it helpfully fixed them

Is there any type of clothing that existed in the 1800s that you could actually not buy or have custom made today? On the other hand, you could not buy a Gore-Tex Pro shell or an ultralight down jacket for any price in 1800.

is there some reason to implement it as a time limit instead of iterations or something else deterministic? it being affected by CPU speed or machine load seems obvious. or whatever makes sense if “iterations” isn’t a thing, I know nothing

Yes, of course, but the actual games are written (primarily! sometimes they will optimize something when actually necessary with a lower-level language! that's great!) in the scripting language. The OP implies heavily that writing a

Right, he says: > If you want to make pointers not have a nil state by default, this requires one of two possibilities: requiring the programmer to test every pointer on use, or assume pointers cannot be nil. The former is really annoyin

stacked diffs are the best approach and working at a company that uses them and reading about the "pull request" workflow that everyone else subjects themselves to makes me wonder why everyone is not using stacked diffs instead of

The only thing I really found weird syntactically when learning it was the single quote for lifetimes because it looks like it’s an unmatched character literal. Other than that it’s a pretty normal curly-braces language, & comes from C+

I feel like it is the opposite, Go gives you a ton of rope to hang yourself with and hopefully you will notice that you did: error handing is essentially optional, there are no sum types and no exhaustiveness checks, the stdlib does things

I think the standard convention if you just want a stringly-typed error like Go is anyhow? And maybe not quite as standard, but thiserror if you don’t want a stringly-typed error?

Management not being a promotion doesn’t mean that managers aren’t (usually—I’ve both been at equal and higher levels than my managers at times) higher levels than their reports. It means that switching to a management role from IC is never

Google’s terminal level is one past new grad and it has a full parallel non-management IC track, I don’t think that they’re pushing people that hard into leadership roles.

Google lets people stay at L4 forever and Meta does at L5 with no expectation of further growth. Yes the expectations are probably still higher, but these companies don’t expect everyone to grow past “mostly self-sufficient engineer” as the

It’s a little snarky and cynical but I’ve found little use for product managers in infra and devx teams because they typically don’t have the technical background to have relevant product vision and anyone that can make L7+ as an engineer o

This completely matches my experience as an infra principal engineer in a coding archetype at another big company. I do impactful and good technical work and always try to defer credit to those “under” me even if it was my idea they are imp
