My chairs resemble each other. Have you tried ikea? If you are talking about code which isn’t what I said, then we aren’t there yet.

Simplify? It’s like saying a factory made chair building… what? It’s not simpler. It’s faster and cheaper and more consistent in quality. But way more complex.

I'm building a zork-like dungeon explorer for vibe coded projects. Ok, the zork interface is not that important, but it adds an extra layer of fun, and does reflect the reality of how I dig through a codebase to understand it. You star

Is clunker some new slang that's different than clanker? I'm asking for a friend of my friend Roku. p.s. thanks for making this; timely as I am playing whackamole with sandboxing right now.

Do you feel like you have no mouth and you must scream?

I don't feel like the abstraction away from assembly language resulted in fewer software engineering jobs. Nor do I feel like Java's virtual machine resulted in fewer systems engineering jobs. Somehow I don't feel that writin

That’s a strong point. I interpret that: Covid created needs that weren’t permanent and also caused overinvestment to address digitalization and remote life needs to support lockdown as well as predictions for a permanent change in the futu

In my case I have set up the agent is the repo. The repo texts compose the agent’s memory. Changes to the repo require the agent to approve. Repos also message each other and coordinate plans and changes with each other and make feature req

The only place MCP made sense for me, so I thought, was to give my Claude Web agents access to the same cli tools my Claude Code agents had. In this context, agents don't have shells. However, then I discovered MCP servers on Claude We

I can't repair my car, which used to be the hallmark of technical masculine skill in the era of Grease the musical, because mechanical maintenance is not primary in my lifetime. Nor do I have any idea how to manage a farm. I think the

Not every career path starts at a software first company. Not every software first company works on the most intense codebase. And therefore in my experience not every senior engineer would hack it as a senior engineer at a more intense com

Agreed. We are still in a capital crunch so overhiring is out of fashion. People don’t remember the early 90s or the dot.bust when the same things were said. Kraft 1977 Programmers and Managers talked about this if I recall. Still the best

Why would there be a lack of original ideas? People who are born to code so to speak will do it. Information wants to be free as the saying goes. It only takes one time for an innovation for it to be to copied everywhere. We don’t need the

We lost the Internet to AI. Just accept it. It's bots talking to bots about bots.

After the dot.com, there was the O-pocalypse that terrified me as a recent grad. - Open source - Outsourcing - Offshoring It was driving the labour cost of an engineer to zero I felt as a young man. Then time passed, and I learnt that engin

It’s hardly basic social skill. This is an executive management skill set. That’s the advanced game. The basic social skill is to avoid conflict and seek acceptance. Go along to get along. One wouldn’t rewrite the app on one’s on recognizan

I find these throws of passionate despondency similar to the 1980s personal computing revolution. Oh dear. Giving mere mortals the power of computing?! How many people would abandon their computers or phones. It’s not like it changes our in

Or drop the price to $20 a year instead of $20 a month and and focus on small software updated infrequently. Software as a service has a dirty secret that it was more service than software. The companies became larded with payroll and most

It’s a simple math problem. And it is also Conway’s law that says all software design follows the organization that built it—that is all software design is political. A framework calls you. You call a library. A framework constrains the pro

Thank you. I thought I was going crazy reading the article which doesn’t connect open and close parenthesis :: higher and lower precedence :: indent and outdent :: +1 and -1 and just flip it around to get the opposing polarity. A real Wesle

You’re right and wrong at the same time. A quantum superposition of validity. The word thinking is going too much work in your argument, but arguably “assume it’s thinking” is not doing enough work. The models do compute and can reduce entr

You have to include the carrying cost per customer as well which is mostly labour. Most of SaaS undercounts the payroll attached to a subscription which is why it is so hard to get to positive net margins and maintain lifetime value. I am s

Growth curves mean nothing if you're selling $0.90 dollars. You have to show a growth curve when price > cost. It's not even clear that value > cost. I absolutely love Anthropic; but I am worried about the fiscal wall they w

Sure I agree what I am talking about is different in some important ways; I am “yes and”ing here. It’s an interesting space for sure. Internal vs external in this case is a subjective decision. Where there is a boundary, within it is the mo

Even if their introspection within the inference step is limited, by looping over a core set of documents that the agent considers itself, it can observe changes in the output and analyze those changes to deduce facts about its internal sta
