   I believe Anthropic has stopped hiring junior and mid eng. So if they're an indication of what's the come (or is already here)

   Especially after the first 1-2 got booed, you'd think those that had them scheduled later would have done another pass on their draft... Or better yet, reflected on their world view and the reception.

   Out of curiosity, how are you using it and for what?

   Looks cool and will give it a try. I've been spending a lot of my energy lately on how to run eng teams where we: 1. Maximize long-term shipping velocity 2. Maximize quality (whatever that means) 3. Maintain minimal complexity 4. Are i

   I honestly kind of forget the exact annoyances because it has been some time. I want to say I had to reauth every time I wanted to SSO with my google account because it doesn't allow/deletes third party cookies.

   Sure, but Safari may or may not leak Safari extension signals in a similar fashion. I haven't actually investigated.

   Interesting, so would Safari prevent this? I tried moving to Safari and honestly loved everything except I use my google accounts now for authenticating with to many services and that was a pain compared to chrome.

    Completely agree, I guess I meant if you're writing an application you're going to be a lot less productive using Idris.

    I’m no longer in a professional engineering position and have a family and toddler so less time for learning about or playing with program languages. Clojure is what really made me first start thinking about programming languages and down t

    I miss it. I’m now more removed and building software as a means to an end. I miss it just like I miss the program language and type theory group meetups in SF and working through problems in dependently types languages like Idris and being

    I don't know if it's still the case, but at old clojure conferences, or meetups, or places of employment, emacs was a prereq and assumed (and the most enjoyable)

    In a previous life, I wrote Clojure every day and still look back fondly attending Clojure/Conj and sitting next to Rich Hickey and other Clojure greats at dinner. My first startup was all Clojure. AWS only had a dozen or two products

    What are some of the best use cases you've found? I have some gh actions set up to call claude code, but those have already been possible.

    Living in SF (and dad of a toddler), this seems like a no-brainer. I can't wait for fewer human drivers.

    Really interesting. It made me curious to dig in and learn that urea production starts with natural gas. And if you add natural gas to the chart as well urea and natural gas prices generally track together without a lag either way, except n

    Exactly, especially iMessage. It's fair to think that's not worth it, but for those who choose to use it, it is.

    Yeah. I know it’s dumb but it’s also a very expensive machine to run BlueBubbles, because iMessage requires a real Mac signed into an Apple ID, and I want a persistent macOS automation host with native Messages, AppleScript, and direct acce

    We agree that lived outcomes matter. But if OECD data are valid for health and incarceration, they’re also valid for household income and housing space, where the US performs very well. You can criticize the tradeoffs without denying the ga
