Today I learned (thanks to this article) that I can use timg to display images right in my standard macOS terminal, even without switching to kitty or any other fancy thing. Not pixel perfect of course, but still, much faster to go through

> you still have to read and understand the code Which is a very similar approach to any serious code. If you just hired a very clever, enormously knowledgeable intern, and they wrote a bunch of code for you overnight, you would probably

Windows XP was released when I was in college, and I remember discussing this picture with my friends guessing where it could've been taken. Never thought about California back then, let alone moving there. A little bit less than twent

It's more like ∞x (or N/Ax if you prefer) because the majority of the projects I did with LLM agents wouldn't have existed without them, because I would've never found enough time to work on them. One of the latest thing

It is frightening to see how the latest anti-VPN developments in Russia [1] are somewhat replicated by some US states. For those not following, VPNs are widespread in Russia after the government started blocking popular messengers such as T

Not trying to defend App Store policies, but writing this just for those who are struggling with Guideline 4.2 trying to publish an app that is only intended for a small group of users. There is a less well-known option called "unliste

I assume you would use Oracle Cloud if, for whatever reason possibly related to legal or competition, you cannot use AWS, or GCP, or Azure. It's hard for me to imagine a startup that needs cloud and would onboard to Oracle Cloud and no

I actually like the Claude's Co-Authored-By: line very much. Even in my personal repositories, where I'm the sole author and the sole reader, I would like to know if my older commit I'm looking at was vibe coded, implying pos

That's actually one thing that always prevented me from following the standard pathway of "write a design document first, get it approved, then execute" during my years in Google. I cannot write a realistic non-hand-wavy desi

The article has so many "it's this, not that" contradictions – I counted seven! – that I seriously consider it to be written with a lot of assistance from LLMs. One thing not mentioned in the article is that now that many s
