   We need a term like potempkin-ware or something to express "I just built a 3 week project in 3 hours and, although it looks nice, there's probably a ton of problems with it because I couldn't possibly review everything Claude

   Does it have to be awful for morale if the reasoning is clear and compassionate? People understand that shit happens. And I don't mean this in a mean or evil way, but (of course there's a but) I wonder if this would motivate peopl

   A great alternative would be operating a company correctly so you don't end up in a situation where you need to cut 30k jobs at once with no notice. That's a bizarre thing that's becoming practically normalized in the USA tec

   Worse yet, he doesn't seem to realize when he's full of shit. He's very confidently wrong. It makes me so curious to understand what his competencies actually are. Clearly he's not an idiot; he's got to be great at

   I've always told myself I should learn to do these sed/regex find and replace techniques, but my origins are not sophisticated and I use computers like that orangutan hammering nails in the video with David Attenborough https:&#x

   This has been where my thoughts seem to converge in the last few years too. I'm days away from 40 now, a parent for 17 years and a week or so. The things that distinguish the adults from the children in my life tends to be age less and

   I'm not sure how people typically use neovim, but in Zed I find multiple cursors (especially combined with multiple file buffers) extremely ergonomic for refactoring quickly and easily where tools like find and replace or simple renami

    Same. This works fine for Claude in my experience. My user prompt is fairly large and encourages certain behaviours I want to see, which involves being critical and considering the strengths and weaknesses of ideas before drawing conclusion

    My worry is that networks can be established on and orbiting the moon which become extremely difficult to get data from if someone decides to abuse it. You can raid a data center if bad actors are utilizing it to break the law, but if some

    Yes, but I don't think we should accept these deaths either, and I see them as worth preventing and avoiding as well. I also see false equivalence here in that the risk of death doesn't seem fungible. You're taking an aggrega

    Ha, you nailed it. That's exactly what it was. Thanks for jogging my memory. Back then Maya seemed like this unobtainable, magical machine for producing impossible imagery. When I finally got my hands on it, I was so disappointed to re

    One secret is that the more you do it, the more you see mushrooms everywhere. You develop an aptitude for noticing fungus absolutely everywhere, and you'll wonder how you ever missed it. Another is that you need to get a feel for the c

    You're right! Crazy, that brings me back. I wonder why he showed it off. I wish I could find it. He probably wasn't using it for the tutorial at all, just nerding out and talking about how beefy computers handle rendering and comp

    Around the year 2001 I recall watching 3d studio Max R3 tutorials in which the teacher had an electric purple desktop which possessed an entire 4 gigs of ram. It blew my mind. My computer had 128mb and an ATI Rage 128 Pro. I was young and d

    I'm so into harness development right now. Once it clicked that harnesses can bring more safety and determinism to LLMs, I started to wonder where I'd need that and why (vs MCP or just throwing Claude Code at everything), and my b

    Presumably because agents use CLIs well, since they're strictly text-based.

    That last part struck me as well. I don't want an imperative solution, but... I'm not sure if that's just me. Declarative solutions are perfectly fast and capable as well. They can use all the same tooling under the hood. Why

    Sam's previous posts are well worth digging up too. This one is outstanding, but they're all good. I really enjoyed this and learned a lot. I'm a bit envious of his job. Learning to teach others, and building out such cool in

    I know I've worked with quite a few compliance/checkbox programs in which the people running things don't even seem to see their work as security-oriented anymore so much as... I don't know, generic criteria fulfillment.

    I wouldn't say most of the magic is there, but I do think a lot of the progress we've seen in the last few years has been external to the models, and people sometimes miss that. For example, Claude Code has improved by leaps and b

    I can't speak to what I'd do instead because I don't work at Linear or have enough insight into the state of the market, their product, competitors, or where things seem to be going. I just know the post gave me weird vibes.

    This surprises and worries me, because it seems more important than ever to take cyber security seriously. Although bots are more sophisticated and capable than ever, people seem to feel much the same as they did ten years ago. It's as

    I'm glad to hear Linear's doing well. It's still my favourite tool for the job. I should have phrased my comment better. The post conveyed a sort of undue urgency to me that I found uncharacteristic and off-putting. I don&#x2
