I’ve noticed that agents almost always fail at the planing vs execution stage. I follow the plan -> red/green/refactor approach and it is surprisingly good, and the plans it produces all look super well reasoned and grounded, b

Yes, but the YouTube ed channels are such a treasure in and of itself. We had the “tech” to produce content like this for almost a century, but it took the Internet and democratization of content creation to come up with gems like smarter e

What the author is missing is that in his decision to limit the use of LLMs in his work, he omits the part where he “can”. E.g. he is resourceful and accomplished enough to be able to do the work he desires with no LLMs - but most people ac

I think the right term for highways or most other car roads is “car sewer” - you need very specialised equipment to navigate them, they are deadly, smelly, loud and unpleasant. One of the worst environments humanity has produced. Yes they s

I had fun “hacking” my router that turned out to be just unzipping the file with slight binary modifications, it was so simple in fact I just implemented it in a few lines of js, even works in the browser :-D https://ivank.github

Capital in the 21 century, how to win and influence people, Sidhartha, meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the mars trilogy, the nurture revolution. These are off the top of my head. The Catholic Church thing - yea that was quite unexpected for

“The weirdest people in the world” - has a very good roots cause analysis of all this. Basically banding into groups and guarding against outsiders is the default human behaviour. It just works that way if you do a game theory analysis of o

We did a similar Claude code mandate a few weeks ago. Motivation was people being so allergic to tests and automation, that making them use superpowers produced better code, but also started adding a test pyramid. The mandate was actually p

IRGS domestic propaganda has always been that US is a military murderous malevolent regime, mercilessly going after their land and their children. With just a little bit of propaganda spin, or even without it, US just proved to the entire I

Is this the “city experience” in general or specifically for the United States? It famously has very poor urbanism so might not mean the same as in Europe for example. I have grown up in rural Russia in the 80s and that was also similar - a

Is it worth the price of energy sovereignty though? You are not just buying electricity, you are buying future independence. It might be worth it if you factor that in. And don’t forget all the other expertise that comes from being a count

Also it has interceptors, which allow you to build easily reusable pieces of code - loggers, oauth, retriers, execution time trackers etc. These are so much better than the interface fetch offers you, unfortunately.

Haven’t seen the movie yet, but the book is definitely one of my all time favourites, so I would recommend reading it regardless of the movie. The way the book is structured there is only one big reveal that would be spoiled by the movie, b

They address this in the docs - it is meant to make authoring the content easier for LLMs since that is easy for them to write. It still uses MJML for the actual templates, but it is a translation layer between markdown and the template its

Isn’t a “local emulator of cloud services” kind of the perfect project to be vibe coded? Extremely well documented surface to implement, very easy to test automatically and prove it matches the spec, and if you make some things sub optimal

I think what they meant is you “can save 10 hours of planning with one hour of doing” And I think this has become even more so with the age of ai, because there is even more unknown unknowns, which is harder to discover while planning, but

When I’m interviewing I never ask a question about something I know super well. I circle around what the candidate signals he has great passion and understanding at, and start deep diving into that. If I know about it as well, then we can

Live coding during an interview is one of the most oppressive things I’ve witnessed in the industry in general. There is usually a huge disconnect between someone who knows that “this task should take 20mins” and doing it cold in a super hi

Thanks for clarifying - I kinda get the idea but would love to see an example for this. I’ve mostly given up on all of the standard techniques for interviewing sadly, just because “using ai” makes a lot of them trivial, and have resorted to

This seems quite amazing really, thanks for sharing What is the scope of projects / features you’ve seen this be successful at? Do you have a step before where an agent verifies that your new feature spec is not contradictory, ambiguou

Honestly, this seems very much like the jump from being an individual contributor to being an engineering manager. The time it happened for me was rather abrupt, with no training in between, and the feeling was eerily similar. You know _exa

I don’t think that is the only solution. I like what Singapore is doing - having a government built “base level” of housing that is both abundant and readily available - it can anchor the price where deep excesses are harder to end up with.

Isn’t that what Phoenix (Elixir) is? All server side, small js lib for partial loads, each individual website user gets their own thread on the backend with its own state and everything is tied together with websockets. Basically you write
