Maybe? But this is an argument you can make about most technology adoption (silly recent example: USB-C adoption obviously buffetted by Apple showing up and saying "it's all this now" and having a bunch of people willing to s

Diving a bit more into databases than your current comfort level/current job demands remains a great way to level up. I've worked with many web developers who get mental blockage around DB tooling (granted, I have similar mental b

write the tests yourself. Or at least the sketch of the test (to get filled in later). Make a commit of what you do so you can then look at the changes. If you write the tests the agents have an easier time writing the code!

the cynical take is of course that the tests were written by Claude and not validated. Unfortunately "automatic generation" of unit tests have made a big part of the value of unit tests ("I am telling you what I expect here&q

There's other web3 nonsense sprinkled about too. I agree with sibling's view on this (provincial SV mindset).

Wild to see NFT nothingburgers next to "real ideas". Also very bizarre to see 2026 thinkpieces floating around in the same space as Gates' internet memos. Maybe these are more million dollar PDFs than billion dollar ones, if

What would be your goto for the ML training pipeline? I have the impression that Python basically wins by default in those spaces due to the lack of many good libraries in other languages (except for, like, C++). But curious if this is just

Not to minimise compcert's work nor to trivialise the equivalent kind of work in Rust but I wonder how much of the Compcert difficulty on dead code elimination is downstream of C semantic futziness. I know that CompCert has a whole not
