I like Cursor. Honestly the biggest reason is the decent WYSIWYG markdown editor.

I saw that happen culturally. But never saw that much different in performance. And I really dislike terminal development. And their desktop app is really buggy.

Ya I was very hand wavy. Though in my experience a lot of smaller shops have a higher percent of seniors than big tech. And I don’t know how much smaller shops there are, so I rounded up. Also smaller shops depend more on this well rounded

Yep that’s all “senior+ engineer” stuff at least and even those can be cut in half by quality. So maybe 25% of engineers have those attributes?

I think the limitation is still context. Humans are better at judgment than AI because humans have more context to put together better decisions. when AI has all of the context, It beats the socks off me.. for better or worse sharing and or

I think stability is more important than speed. 15 years ago living in apartments in Seattle I had a lot of time of day service disruptions, but the last 10 years I have used both cable and fiber and they’ve been perfectly fine.

You definitely need a technical leadership or leaders who understand the staff level value. You also need sponsorship. And you need to accept you maybe propose 5 things and only 1 gets funded and then 3 years later a previous proposal fits

The challenge is finding problems that are “worth” solving as a staff engineer. General “bugs” are not staff worthy. Staff need to convince leadership to fix an architectural problem that removes a whole class of bug.

Sure all that can be true. I’m just saying none of that implicates AI capabilities.

I agree it’s a great starting point for the daily check. But it’s not a good answer to a specific explicit request to measure visceral fat imo. And there’s a lot of confusion in these comments about how much they actually correlate.

I got mad when airline checked us in for a flight, during a blizzard, took our luggage, then cancelled our flight and refused to give us our luggage back promising to fedex it to us. Fortunately we noticed a lot of luggage on the ground and

My company is heavy on AI promotion, but many many many people still do things sub-optimally, and many systems are still not well integrated/able with AI. “The future is here it’s just not evenly distributed”, and that applies inside c

Hate to bring it up, but 10,000 commits in less than 6 months is a lot. Is AI a major contribute here? Is AI use for accelerated development of a beloved tool like DuckDB enough to quiet lingering doubters?

That is a proxy estimate. You can’t actually measure visceral fat at home.

“In this meta-analysis, BMI and WC, but not WHR, were very strongly correlated with imaging-derived total and subcutaneous abdominal fat. By comparison, all three measures were moderately or strongly correlated with imaging-based visceral a

Probably not. But it’s much more accessible to the “common man” than before. In the 60s the entire plane was a premier experience few could afford.
