Have you found an alternative to codex / Claude code? I’ve tried opencode but it’s been buggier / feels like an inferior product to both.

I asked around my network recently - in the last month or two basically every large company has put in spending limits per engineer. Curious what their S1 will look like when they go public.

why is it a great idea though? My question was basically what are the actual pros of doing it in space? I still haven't heard a good explanation.

https://arena.ai/leaderboard - I’ve found this company is a pretty good ranker - not sure their exact methodology but during day to day programming with Claude / gpt models I’ve felt qualitatively what they report

A bit ironic that the website complaining about UI has virtual snow on it making reading hard.

Agreed. I think this Anthropic article is a realistic take on what’s possible (focus on prototyping) https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/58284b19e702b49db9302d5b6f135a...

When I first graduated I read a bunch of tech focused books: they’re all helpful but I think practice and learning from more senior engineers is the most effective road to mastery! You can probably get away with not reading any of these boo

I think these groups are out there, but unfortunately they are informal (not listed on the web or through a company), and also are not for a beginner level. For me, I’ve been learning how to surf and cook. I found at an absolute beginner le

Therapy worked wonders for me. Therapists are trained to help and give you custom things to do based on what you need. I found one that gave me a lot of structured “assignments” and questions to ask myself and I’ve never felt better than I

It's funny how hyped up stable diffusion is on HN right now: reminds me of when style transfer first started making it's rounds in 2017. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13958366 I think as technologists we wa

As someone who took their first software engineering job as a junior during covid, I have to say I definitely struggled to learn and execute on tasks in a way which I know I wouldn't in an in person setting. I found asking for help as

I’m a programmer, and my dads a doctor, and for ten years I’d always tell him that something like 20 questions could do his job. After about 5 years he did this graduation speech and in it he referenced that: “yes, AI is getting great, your

honestly, not too bad :). I don't really use it as a "follow this as a guiding design pattern" piece of advice, but I think the philosophy is really useful when dealing with relationships with people, and taking risks in lif

I wrote this back when I was 18, in response to the question “what kind of life do you want to live?” but I always come back to it. Something about it still resonates with me. “What kind of life do you want to live?” “A life full of color.

love this question: especially about the distributed systems. Something I've been thinking about, not necessarily in the interviewing world, would be to have a simulation of distributed systems for non-production code: in theory I thin

I agree, I climb a lot IRL and yep, VR can't come close to touching that experience :). But yeah as far as what VR is good for, there are definitely places where it sings: and where people tend to make a mistake is thinking that it ca

Agreed. I’ve done generative art for many years now: and I have found generally (with a couple exceptions of course), the most successful artists in the space all have a strong foundation in drawing/painting/graphic design.

> make doing the right thing easier and the wrong thing harder. I’ve never heard it put so succinctly! In the realm of breaking social media addiction I’ve tried to block all feeds on my laptop using chrome extensions, logout on mobile.

Nice! I love local bookshops and anything that supports them over Amazon is great. I plan on getting “Evicted” and and “Streetfight” based on your recommendations too, thanks for making this site!

Yep, as a long time unity user I really think Unity is just spaghetti all the way down to it's core. The number of strange memory leaks and graphics bugs you find once you really get into the engine is appalling. Frankly, it's pr

This is awesome! Probably wouldn't sign up for a course at the moment, as I am focusing on honing BE and FE software engineering skills at the moment, but definitely will bookmark just in case the stars align. (meaing when I have time
