I have “unlimited” (but metered) tokens at work. I was primarily a Claude (Opus and Fable) user until Astra came out. Astra’s outputs are much more concise while being similarly accurate, they seem more information dense. It’s also extremel

To be fair, the article doesn’t quite deliver on this promise. The examples are mostly focused on improving work-related workflows, so I guess that’s what they think “daily life” is.

I agree, but some (most?) software being written doesn’t require a deep understanding to verify because the domain is small enough or you’re not required to solve for all of its intricacies. E.g. prototypes, internal tools, low scale CRUD a

I’ve had similar experiences with Fable. 70%+ context used out of 1M, still sharp and no memory issues.

Agreed. I kinda concluded that the expected `doctor` usage is to have an agent run it for you and then they can try to figure it out when `doctor` can’t fix the issues.

I tried both Beads and Gas Town and had the same experience. These fully vibe coded tools seem to have near zero QA. The fact that they ship with a `doctor` command that you regularly need to run (even if you didn’t change anything about yo

Meta has been known for years to only negotiate if you have competing offers. I guess being the only place with high TC hiring right now complicates things but this negotiation strategy is not new.

Some quick feedback: It’s hard to parse your CV quickly because there are no actual job titles. I have to dig into the bullet points to get some idea of what your role was.

Flashy product announcements without an immediate release are part of the “big company game”. Usually they are just a mechanism to make leadership more confident about the product by showing them how excited external people are about it, cr

Nah, Microsoft employees being second class citizens compared to acquisitions is nothing new. e.g. compare Microsoft comp with LinkedIn/GitHub comp.

I made this comment when the submission title was “Tech salaries largely unchanged as skills shortages continue”. It seems like the title is more accurate now.

This is not a consumer-facing, social payment platform (e.g. Venmo), it is another payment rail (e.g. ACH, wires). Laypeople are not the target audience for this, payment rail users are (i.e. entities who regularly utilize ACH/wire tra

This is extremely similar to what happened to me. Antidepressants and CBT helped manage the anxiety and, 12 years later, I’m pretty much back to normal except for the ocasional manageable panic you describe and some baseline anxiety.

20K bonus and promo on top of existing TC and perf incentives is not bad at all. Also, depending on their level, “creating GitHub Copilot” might actually be part of their baseline role expectations.

They can stop losing money by slashing their workforce and stopping working on features nobody wants (e.g. chat, an official mobile app, etc). The core site functionality has not changed in over a decade, there’s no need to try to be Instag

The base Model Y is not even at a luxury price point after tax credits. But yeah, Tesla’s interior build quality is not really comparable with other luxury cars.

Nah, Microsoft has been underpaying engineers in the US for almost a decade now. Their solution is just to replace one frustrated engineer leaving with three in India and that seems to be working great.
