It's nice but I've yet to see a more usable end-user programming environment than the spreadsheet.

Fair. I rescind those examples and revise my counter: When you gain much more from speed than you lose with errors, AI makes sense. Revised example: Software where the goal is design experimentation; like with trying out variations of UX id

The main claim made: When there's money or reputation to be lost, code requires the same amount of cognition; irrespective of who wrote the code, AI or not. Best counter claim: Not all code has the same risk. Some code is low risk, so

Hi, I tried the demo. I did find it slow, but more importantly I didn't feel organized. Currently, a simple list with my own shorthand notation works well as a reminder; it takes me 3 seconds to get a sense of my day. But I liked how t

This is an unkind argument. There is no one true way to prioritize design in all contexts. That defeats the point of design: highly-contextualized problem solving. In some contexts simplicity and speed are not the highest priorities; memora

Lot of visual noise because of model specific comments. Or maybe that's just the examples here. But as a human, I do like the CLAUDE.md file. It's like documentation for dev reasoning and choices. I like that. Is this faster than

So much 'he says, she says' that I honestly lost track of the point it was trying to make. Takeaway: Maybe AI good. Maybe AI bad. Scary. But possibility. Everybody try.

Even so, the increased rate of revenue generation cannot be explained by AI features since all the other (read: not skyrocketing) startups also offer AI features. Did these portfolio companies just get the UX right? That would mean their en

The warrant for this claim: The smaller the action you ask from yourself, the easier it is to choose it over inaction. But sometimes it's not inaction we're choosing against; it's discomfort. In that case, this becomes simpli

Misleading title. Has nothing to say about working, i.e paid employment, with AI apps. The main claim in the post: Their portfolio companies have shown an improved rate of accumulating revenue ever since LLMs took off. Weakest part of the p

No, passing an inverse-turing test while writing can't be the goal. The onus is on the reader to accept an argument; irrespective of source. Writing, of any sort, can no longer be used as proof of 'written entirely by human'.

My last comment was not specific to this post; it's a comment in general. Composition skills are no longer a barrier to useful writing. If you have a sense of an idea and try a lot with an LLM, you can arrive at something useful and re

Conflicted. Useful post, nice bits of insight. But I feel emotionally conflicted because of how different it is from how I write. And I have a suspicion that I need to get over it. This is faster, produces something of value, and has a smal

The post does not answer 'How to Read a Novel'. Most of the post is devoted to 'Why I think fiction is useful'. The author's answer: vicarious learning. Author answers how to maybe rank and choose a book: Book that

Books ask for a lot of organization in general. And books on an evolving subject never stop asking. I don't use Erlang, but for 13 years in the making, I'm getting a copy. Thank you. p.s if the author sees this: Kindle edition too

Main claim made: You can write about widely-applicable topics and give the reader a strong sense of learning as long as your audience is young. For older audiences, you need to pick a trade-off between how general the topic is and how stron

Error handling is some of the least fun parts of writing code. In all languages. But in any case, why so much fear of being wrong? > we have fine-grained control over the language version via go.mod files and file-specific directives And

The one main claim the article makes: Senior developers should not ignore the productivity gains from LLMs. Best use of evidence is deductive: Lots of code is tedious and uninteresting -> LLMs are fast at generating lots of tedious code

The whole argument hinges on one claim: We were censored not because of content but because of who we are. Strongest evidence in support: Drop in traffic coincided with google algorithm update. Biggest lack of evidence: Nothing that shows

You're right. It is not a protocol. Each client implements previews differently and they don't specify how.

This is not a spoof? Previews are an optional protocol that email clients have followed for a while now. See: https://react.email/docs/components/preview

My biggest tip: Have a system you can rely on even when you're struggling. Take the magic out of progress. Use curiosity and excitement when you can but don't let them be the only way you can work on something. Some practical stra

Terrible description of what it is but the demo on twitter does look very nice. If this could pull from custom APIs as well that'd be great. Maybe a few generic UI components for different kinds of data.
