I have a log of commits and the decisions and changes for each commit. I use it as a source of data/context when building out plans. I agree with the other commenter who said they don't build anything without a plan. I would doubl

And a proper farm and butcher shop have even worse return-on-investment than a Meat Factory. Is it possible that ROI isn't the best metric? FWIW I would rather we stop using data centers for running social media sites and move it towar

I didn't want to self promote my blog, I already posted it to HN if anyone was interested. Takes 2 clicks. "It" obviously refers to writing about prompting. Would be clear if you read the OP. Humans have this amazing ability

I recently wrote a blog about how I'm prompting. I don't think it's boring. I think we don't have the correct language to talk about the techniques/processes but I bet that not everyone prompts/guides AI the sa

She had me on a schedule and would hold me up. Yep at 3 months babies can't even sit up. She said at the start she would hold me up until I went, even if it took hours, and if I went she would reward me. She Pavlov'ed me. I think

My mom toilet trained me at 3 months. She had me on a schedule and she would hold me one toilet during the determined times and I would go. This was right after communism fell so she only had access to cloth diapers, and cleaning them was s

Cool. I work in edtech, happy to walkthrough it and give my thoughts. My first instinct was that you could offer something interactive even if its mostly text based, like flash cards, quizzes, etc. happy to take a closer look

The Vector Database obsession came from RAG, which came from a marketing idea to calm down enterprise fears about hallucination with RAG. Will save this article because I feel like I have this conversation weekly when people think they need

There's a short youtube video from HBR that highlights the difference between strategy and plan. Most people use roadmaps to plan. They want a list of things to do. A strategy can fail. It requires people to place their stakes somewher
