   Why is there an AI chat window on my GitHub homepage? I just wanted a list of my repos!

   If I had to guess, LinkedIn would be primarily searching for extensions that violate their terms of service (e.g. something that could be used to scrape data). They put a lot of effort into circumventing automated data collection. I could

   I can tell you exactly what it cost for me. I took the helicopter from Gorakshep, the highest/last town on the EBC trek, to Lukla, the crazy airport people call the most dangerous one in the world. For me, a 255 lbs / 115kg guy,

   To be honest I'm surprised insurance is offered at all. I did the EBC trek a couple years ago. The temptation to take a helicopter down was real & I didn't have insurance.

   I was referencing https://www.neobrutalism.dev/ and https://www.retroui.dev/ and slopped my way through it. A lot of it was just asking Claude Code "is this a proper design system?", then I kept

   I was talking to one of the people who works at a big agentic coding tools. If I recall correctly, he was talking about how they use the tool to build the tool. I was complaining that all of the websites/frontends I make look pretty w

    This was maybe 20 years ago. I was looking for a job as a recruiter and just called him. He referred me to an HR rep and I did get an interview from it. Didn’t get the job, but hey, I got a shot!

    He has an army of people that would read his emails. A truly important one should get read. You could always try calling, too! I cold called Marc Benioff at Salesforce and he actually picked up the phone.

    Completely off topic. I went solo hiking in Azerbaijan in August of 2022, heading towards some hilltop castle thing I saw on Google Maps. Along the way I met some locals who invited me to join them. We got to the castle around midday and I

    They are also organic, all-natural, and fat-free! And renewable on geological timescales.

    If I had to guess, which I do, I'd say that it's not a big deal that an adversary capable of threatening an aircraft carrier knows where it generally is. What is a big deal is knowing precisely where it is when an undetected proj

    Yes, I was curious about the creatives. You're doing a lot, so I was just curious where you were choosing to spend your time.

    How do you make the ads themselves? Are you a content creator yourself? Using AI? Hiring someone to make them?

    I just cut & pasted the share URL provided by YouTube. Strip out the query param if you like.

    The 2 I know, Cursor and Claude Code, will give you a percentage used for the context window. So if you know the size of the window, you can deduce the number of tokens used.

    I haven't figured out how to make use of tasks running that long yet, or maybe I just don't have a good use case for it yet. Or maybe I'm too cheap to pay for that many API calls.

    Is it ever useful to have a context window that full? I try to keep usage under 40%, or about 80k tokens, to avoid what Dex Horthy calls the dumb zone in his research-plan-implement approach. Works well for me so far. No vibes allowed: h

    I have the same hardware. Been curious about trying it with Opencode.

    It’s fine to if you don’t have any memory hogging apps. But as soon as you fire up a couple demanding Docker containers you’ll feel the pain. 8GB isn’t so much RAM for some applications.

    It's worth pointing out that Trello has been owned by Atlassian since 2017.

    I believe that the parent comment is saying Google was in a strong position before Pichal took over.

    1.1M+ users, 23M+ projects, since 2016. Impressive numbers for something you just built!

    I wonder how many people have a subscription and don’t fully utilize it. That’s free money for them, too.

    I asked Gemini 3 Flash the other day to count from 1 to 200 without stopping, and it started with “1, 3, …”.

    I just run sub agents in parallel. Yesterday I used Codex for the first time yesterday. I spun up 350,640 agents and got 10 years of experience in 15 minutes.
