Yeah probably my favorite of the bunch too. I bet there’s a fun project to do to make a customizer for that.

I learned the fast shoelace knot from this site years ago. Highly recommend it: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm It’s both functional and a great party trick.

I wrote about this a little bit today too. You’re up against a dopamine machine that writes code for you. https://www.tyleo.com/blog/the-terminal-star A lot of good comes out but it can be hard to separate from the par

I mentioned this in a separate thread. It seems like a huge risk to release an online game if you don't do this now. A single bad game can take down a studio. Now there's even more risk because a previously successful game may com

I'm actually in the industry. I don't think it's as much about supply and demand as it is about expected value of the product. Most games are expensive to make and most of them fail. Way more than normal software which doesn&

Seems like a local maximum or organizing around an individual’s quirks. Like all team building I feel like the fundamental question is, “what works for this group of people?” Rather than “teams with/without calls is superior,” and slam

Yeah, I'm with you and I'm not seeing much sense in the argument above. We should only need to specify observable behavior... but observable behavior is so broad that it includes common defects... but also we shouldn't need t

Caps Lock <—> Esc should honestly be standardized on keyboards. Esc is used pretty often in my experience while Caps Lock, being modal, only gets the occasional press even when used.

If leaking credentials is observable behavior. I don't get your point. Memory leaks, deleting the hard drive, spending money would all be observable behavior. By your reasoning that the "observable behavior needs to be specified r

I use the same Mac to write that I use for everything else. But I find it’s more useful to disconnect from multiple screens and just use the laptop on my desk if I need to focus. Those idle screens taunt me with a desire to use them for Sla

That doesn't sound right. For example, there's plenty of software with the correct observable behavior which leaks credentials. So what needs to be captured goes beyond observable behavior.

If you want to know the truth I find it worse to ask questions that folks can answer themselves. When you don't know the answer to something you should try to figure it out before asking. That builds important skills. Like it or not LL

While they failed to achieve the goal outright, I'd argue that each is a concrete step towards it. The languages we have today are more productive than the languages we had decades ago. I think it's an open question of whether we

The underlying mechanism is still the same: humans type and products come out. So something which must be true if this author is right is that whatever the new language is—the thing people are typing into markdown—must be able to express th

As a meta note, I'm seeing more downvoted responses in this comment section for reasonable points of view on both sides than I've ever seen for any HN topic. It's interesting that this is so polarizing.

by tyleo 5mo ago
Yeah, asking questions you can find an answer to yourself also disregards the reader. It cuts both ways.

I don't know what's worse: 1. Asking a question which could be answered by an AI 2. Pasting an AI response to something If 1 is fair game, I'd say 2 is too.

Lots of these places measure employee token use with managers having dashboards. It seems like performative code production rather than making anything useful. Speed without judgement always compounds badly.

I feel the same way. I hear a lot of complains about wealth tax but it always seems like the problems mainly pertain to billionaires. I don't see why we should optimize for that small minority. If we moved to a wealth tax I'd be t

What makes them unenforceable?

by tyleo 5mo ago
I used to be against wealth taxes but as inequality gets out of hand I've more and more felt like they are the right move. Hell, I'll be the first in line to pay the damn tax so long as billionaires are right in line with me too.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t heard of this until now. Scrolling through the list of blogs, I also haven’t heard of many of them. A lot of blogging is reputation and consistency. The other part is audience. It looks like he's been at this

FWIW I write a blog and do talks so it’s not confidence: https://www.tyleo.com In my case I just use AI to fix typos and save people time if I repeated myself in a message.

I said in my comment: shortening, cleaning things up. You’re foaming at the mouth a bit about AI here rather than reading what I said. I don’t see how shortened or fixed grammar is slop. The article argues the opposite.

That’s interesting. When I use AI to help me write chat messages it’s almost always, “make this shorter,” or “clean this up”

Every one of these posts about boos at commencement speeches has one of these comments near the bottom. I feel like I’m failing some pop culture quiz. What does this mean?

It’s not that simple. Many of the newer products are designed cloud-first. I’d love to see you rise to the challenge. If you think there’s an opportunity to make money here, “lots of ways to make this work,” perhaps take it up yourself.
