May I ask why re: your last paragraph? Genuinely curious

Can’t give an extensive reply as I’m on mobile, but FWIW I’ve tried Claude and Codex and Copilot. We use Python and standard microservice architecture, nothing special at all. I’ve had the most success with using one agent to write a plan d

I do worry I’m holding it wrong. But also, it would make me feel better if the answer was that my job is too hard vs. too easy :-)

Maybe my job is just too easy, but all the hoops that folks jump through to get the magic oracle to do the thing takes longer than if I just Did The Thing

I think you’re perhaps too narrowly defining what a lot of groups are for. Take climbing for example, as you did - I met tons of folks while climbing, but we talked about all sorts of things. In between attempting routes it’s mostly just sh

Yeah, it helps that I became obsessed =) I got an American traditional rendition of the symbol of the Almighty with a sword through it and the Knights Radiant motto encircled “life before death, strength before weakness, journey before dest

Wow, that looks cool. I’ve been wanting an excuse to learn Ruby, this might be it.

Sanderson really writes incredible stuff. I read the entire cosmere last year and got a tattoo =)

No problem. And FWIW, I’m what I’d consider a highly left-wing person. I only say that to give a sample that not all of us are like that. But I recognize that the loud ones get the attention. I draw the line on live-and-let live only when t

I disagree that it’s as useless as saying they can’t be done, because acknowledging the possibility opens the door intellectually to think about solutions.

by weakfish 10mo ago
I really do appreciate your willingness to live and let live. Too many people from all perspectives are missing that ability when it comes to non-critical things, and forget that they can just… not hang out with the people they disagree wit

I think that the _current_ systems are incapable of care, but that doesn’t mean systems can’t be in general. I often think that they’re held back in large part by people who say “we can’t” rather than building a solution

It took me a moment to realize you replied to yourself and thought you were randomly attacking a commenter =)

I’ll also make the observation that the extra time spent is very valuable if your objective solely is learning, but often the Business™ needs require something working ASAP

Why? I’ve had nothing but good experiences, but I don’t run it and the team that does is extremely competent

I enjoy it, but I also think my platform team has set it up in the best possible way. YMMV if it’s done differently- I am sometimes uncertain if I love pulumi, or how we do pulumi. I really really want to use dagger, but I don’t think there

Thanks for the thorough explanation!

IME on a Pulumi for IaC team, writing infra in a real language (TypeScript) is MILES better than- you can do conditions, have typed outputs, etc and not have it be a bastardized imperative YAML mess. YAML is fine for data, but inevitably st

If you’re so lucky that your employer lets you use any $TOOL you want, great, but I _have_ to use GitHub actions. So I’m part of the problem? Me specifically?

How is that an error if b is properly referenced? It’s perhaps a waste of memory but not wrong

Can we name this "HN's Law," where any thread remotely related to economics will have someone attributing everything to supply and demand?

This comment is harsh, but I think important to remember for a lot of people who don’t realize that yeah maybe the hand we’re dealt sucks, but you can find joy regardless. People dance, sang, drank and found life and love through all of his

IME pycharm’s weakness is not integrating with modern tooling like ruff/pyright - their built in type checker is terrible at catching stuff, and somehow there isnt an easy way to run MyPy, black or isort in it. If there’s a workflow I’

I like Go. Coming from Python, I appreciate having most things be explicit in nature vs. magical, and having concurrency not feel like a bolted on nightmare. Writing microservices at $DAYJOB feels far easier and less guess-work, even if it
