Manage the budget not the impl. Top down decisions like "use a cheap model" risk optimize for the wrong things. If we lose 90% cache hit on the expensive models to context switch to a cheap one, there's no savings. Set the bu

I get the grief about AI, but I don't share it. After ten years of professional coding, LLMs have made my work more fun. Not easier in the sense of being less demanding, but more engaging. I am involved in more decisions, deeper review

This resonates so much. I spent years in an org watching "domain events" vanish into the ether because of the Dual Write Problem. We had these high-performance, sharded, distributed monsters that were "fast" on paper, bu

I like the idea of using a LegalConstants namespace or Code Owners to signal that we don't own those values. However, I’d argue that being 'out of our control' is actually the main reason to test them. We treat these as accep

I don't necessarily disagree with providing context, but my concern is that comments eventually lie. If the business rule evolves (say the window moves to 5 days) the comment becomes a liability the moment someone updates the code but

Agreed. This is a small step :) And humans still definitely in the loop.

Actually, this has already happened in a very literal way. Back in 2022, Google DeepMind used an AI called AlphaTensor to "play" a game where the goal was to find a faster way to multiply matrices, the fundamental math that powers

I know I'm walking into a den of wolves here and will probably get buried in downvotes, but I have to disagree with the idea that using LLMs for writing breaks some social contract. If you hand me a financial report, I expect you used

Can someone explain to me how it makes sense that you want to define a locking mechanism using.. locking mechanism (the "atomic"). Does this mean that in an actual implementation you would have to drop down to some hardware-level-

Fair points, but that’s exactly my point—you’re assuming rather than knowing for sure. Medical insurance probably covers you, but some policies exclude high-risk activities or DIY mods, so it’s not always that simple. And if you don’t think

Well said. And then... even after all that, it's probably not legal, and no insurance company will insure the bike or you if you get into an accident.

I 100% agree. It's weird. I Use 'Dash to Panel's GNOME extension, and to me that should be the default. From there I really like how GNOME merges the app bar with maxize minimize close with the title etc. At least most appli

Let's think about this for a second. I agree to some extend with what you are trying to say, I just think there's a critical thing missing here in your consideration, and that is usage of the product outside its intended purpose&#

Maybe a key innovation would be to apply backpropagation to optimize the crossover process itself. Instead of random crossover, compute the gradient of the crossover operation. For each potential combination, "learn" (via normal b

Few examples. One time I asked about reading/filtering JSON in Azure SQL. Claude suggested a feature I didn't know of OPENJSON. ChatGPT did not, but used a more generalize SQL technique - the CTE. Another time I asked about terror
