Isn't this the difference between a dictionary and an encyclopedia?

I think that's sort of what I got from the article - open the right tools for what you're actually working on, not everything you might need for all the tasks in your backlog.

I actually agree that the code is one of the most important things to get right at a software company. Still. I would argue very few companies win on code merit alone either though. Strategy, customer communication, market timing, etc on th

The automotive industry is huge. It seems unlikely that they would lose lobbying efforts to startup tech companies - so it seems far more likely that cars get more expensive due to government mandated self-diving "safety" features

Classic CI bug with a flair of LLM fun! We had something similar creep into our custom merge queue a few weeks back.

I liked reading through it from a "is modern Python doing anything obviously wrong?" perspective, but strongly disagree anyone should "know" these numbers. There's like 5-10 primitives in there that everyone should

At Plotly we did a decent amount of benchmarking to see how much the different defaults `uv` uses lead to its performance. This was necessary so we could advise our enterprise customers on the transition. We found you lost almost all of the

If this math added up, wouldn't solar panels and radiators on earth solve the same problem?

You'll never be able to do maintenance or upgrade these things. The up front cost seems extremely high given the risk of hardware failure or obselecence at data center scales.

Plotly's new Plotly Studio product is a spec-anchored approach to building data applications. Each chart or dataset gets its own prompt/spec. The question of how much detail to include in a spec is really hard. We actually split i

A company I worked for switched over to pre-recorded demos and everyone talked about how clever it was for the first few larger audiences. Then they made a mistake and replayed a clip during the same session and the audience chat blew up. Y

While I get the academic perspective of sharing these insights, this article comes across as corporate justifying/complaining that their model's score is lower than it should be on the leaderboards... by saying the leaderboards ar

This very much confused me. Isn't the idea behind this movement that Europe doesn't want to be dependent on external companies for critical infrastructure? Won't this just be the equivalent of a shell company completely depen

My team is debating this exact question for a new product we have in early access. Ultimately we realized the issue early on, so even our plans option would include at-cost usage limits.

Why not a shared "Ramblings" channel? And at that point, why not re-use something like "Random" that many companies already have?

Quote: "I don’t see the value in discussing a “national” crisis in homebuilding oligopoly from which the 49 biggest metros are exempt." I enjoyed most of this article, but it did slide into opinions periodically. This quote in par

This was great. The mention of deadlocks at the end makes me wonder if there's also some transaction isolation settings to adjust.

It feels like this is missing the mid sized company that isn't looking to grow and IPO. There are plenty of companies that just have a product and sell it to make payroll. They're just overlooked in the hustle.
