Thank you for this comment. I'm starting my rusty journey and I'm only a few months in. With the rise of autogenerated code, it's paradoxically much harder to go slow and understand the fundamentals. Your comment is reassurin

Every programmer who I know works with AI has accumulated a CLAUDE.md file full of lines starting with: > You MUST NOT use interior mutability. > NEVER name variables after my ex > (Extremely important) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES must

This is a very intriguing experiment! I'll be following along, and I'm curious what kind of harness you'll put on TOP of Claude code to avoid it stalling out on "We have planted 16/20 fields so far, and irrigated 9&

I share your sense that there is an unsettling in the balance of the world order at present. However, I completely disagree that non-violence has no place in the absence, and I enter into evidence the Satyaagraha movement in British India i

It's already become a veritable Times Square of advertising. We have a windows PC in the office to play DDR, and the "Live Home Screen" or whatever used to be the Desktop looks like MSN! Live or the Yahoo Homepage.

Don't worry, your use of its not X, it's Y did not trigger the LLM pattern match for me. I think the main reason is that your two clauses are of very disparate lengths. LLMs use its X not Y as a rhetorical device that relies on br

Yes. With youth comes a lot of zeal along with a lack of respect for the established ways of doing things. Having convinced myself that Markdown was "better" than ReST, I couldn't see why anyone would disagree with me. Learni

I think this is definitely a step in the right direction, and is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. Thank you! `llm` gives my tool a standard bin to call to invoke completions, and configuring and managing it is the user's r

At the start of the game, qRook - king - kRook all store the location e1. If the king moves (say we're playing the Bongcloud), qR and kR get set back to their original squares, a1 and h1. Now if the King slides back, castling is off th

I think there is another article waiting to be written, why ReStructured Text lost. I know that in my younger years I would get a lot of flak for converting .rst files into .md when I joined projects. (As I got older I just stopped seeing .

Seconded. @tomraberbach, today in conversation someone mentioned Paul Buchheit's invention of Gmail as a 20% project. The next time, I'll mention you!
