   It's crazy that a year ago the prevailing discourse would've been, "AI can't do that. Fake news." and now it's "Well of course AI did that. You prompted it! What else would it do? Shame."

   It's beyond boring after a bit. It reminds me of putting on noise-cancelling headphones in an already quiet room. You suddenly gain an appreciation for just how much quieter things could've been thanks to the contrast. Similarly,

   I don't think we're going to do any negative leap seconds. https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/international-ti... I think we're voting to change to a leap hour in early 2027. Or I&#x27

   Crazy. I just changed the default for our entire org to Opus because people were continually unimpressed with Sonnet's abilities. It's fascinating to think how varied people's experiences are when interacting with LLMs and ho

   Everyone says SpaceX IPO price is too high, but it's the most interesting IPO in a long time, it's critical to the US government, and America is, frankly, addicted to gambling. I'm not convinced it's going anywhere but u

   I disagree. Shipping functionality that works and users consume is all that matters. Everything else is noise. Technical debt can be viewed through this lens - it reduces the rate in which functioning code is shipped. That's bad, but i

    because some software engineers enjoy shipping usable software more than writing the code needed to do so?

    Well, I'm commenting from a place of bias, as I'm Head of AI at our company and am in charge of rolling out agentic coding throughout the engineering org. So, bear with me a bit. We're B2B SaaS in the Ed Tech space. It's

    You get a discount for paying for a full year on Teams and Enterprise can involve contractual obligations. It's a lot of effort to get buy-in to change providers and to shift an entire organization. The winds change frequently in this

    Your competition's behavior necessarily affects you unless your company has an unassailable moat. If other companies are able to tolerate larger amounts of tech debt while shipping new features faster then you'll be out of a job a

    https://status.instructure.com/ implies Canvas became available again about thirty minutes ago from the time of this post. Is this accurate? Or is this still an ongoing issue?

    We encourage candidates to use AI on the homework and to be comfortable sharing the prompts they used and the workflow they engaged the AI with to get to their end result. We've experienced a wide range of proficiencies in using AI to

    My current job has me overseeing a few teams of engineers working on ~10+ y/o legacy software systems that have not been especially well maintained. As an example, one team had a completely broken CI pipeline due to numerous flaky test

    I don't think anyone is questioning all the benefits of using local LLMs. Those are readily apparent. I just don't believe for an instant that they're anywhere in the same ballpark of capabilities as running Opus or similar.

    Typo in the first sentence of the first paragraph is oddly comforting since AI wouldn't make such a typo, heh. Typo in the first sentence of the second paragraph is sad though. C'mon, proofread a little.

    I moved over to Linux a few months ago. Absolutely zero issues. My only thought was, "Wow. Why didn't I do this sooner?" There's nothing Windows can do to bring me back at this point.

    I think you're just trying to see ambiguity where it doesn't exist because the looser interpretation is beneficial to you. It totally makes sense why you'd want that outcome and I'm not faulting you for it. It's jus

    I think big players also have significant risk exposure during black swan events and the timeline of their operations makes those incidents not entirely unlikely to occur. It's sort of like insurance - most of the time they just get to
