I can’t tell if you’re implying that those with ADHD are more likely or less likely to think and act in a childlike way. Or whether doing so or not is what causes the over representation in high level positions. Could you please elaborate?

Color me sceptical but I’d say that’s a bold claim. Can you give a concrete example of that being the case? I’d love to see the prompt and harness. And understand the scale of problem you’re talking about solving with a one-shot approach. H

An interesting question. We (humans) care about maintainability because the codebase will be adapted by teams of us for many years, based on new feature and bug fixes. Rewriting from scratch is basically never an option after a certain amou

Genuine question, how else would they do it? And isn’t this practice the same as basically any agile-developed SaaS?

No, in that it's something inherently much more unstable than a bicycle and needs a trained human onboard to have any hope of getting anywhere without falling over spectacularly

If a computer is a bicycle for the mind I think LLMs are a unicycle for the computer.. That’s my own personal take on it anyway.

I’m guilty of using this approach too and noticed that an (obvious?) side-effect is that I get fewer wonderful, human, “aha” moments with my colleagues. I mentioned this at a stand-up and only then did others think about it and notice the s

Well kind of, or you just end up copying the poisoned version directly into your repo rather than having it as a dependency. Same outcome. I suppose if you're running some security analysis on code in your own repo, the fact that you&#

In a word: complaints. It’s somewhat understandable but also part of the problem.

Why would they? They make more money if you pay the $7 up front.

I guess that’s how it eventually goes through. When, at random, enough flippers flop or floppers flip that it tips the balance. And once it’s done it’s done. The relentlessness does not continue into, “are you sure?”, it’ll be over. For the

This is pretty cool, I have an interest in running admin interfaces (think web CMS) for non-technical users locally. I tried out the most basic possible example, from the linked page: Deno.serve(() => new Response("<h1>H

This reads like slop. The four emboldened headings that make up the whole article sound like they’re straight outta chatgpt: * what happened * the devil is in the billing details * the big but * bottom line I’m not sure that I’ve ever read

Truly terrifying. I'll admit I was expecting one of the near-15.62 options to be "acceptable". How wrong I was; I should have seen that coming. As one of the below comments says, you just don't know what level of snoopin

That’s exactly what I was thinking. And I think you’re saying the same thing, but to be sure: the _wait_ wouldn’t be a timer, it’d be watching the clipboard for changes and proceeding as soon as it changed. If we’re going to do the discover

That sounds interesting but it would be a whole lot more interesting if the page was itself an example of said effect!

What a great resource. As someone who’s been making websites for 30 years, it’s amazing to still be picking up some of the basics. Though to be fair many of these didn’t exist back then. I’ll be using this to add some extra tags to my pages

Having just moved house, this is fantastic inspiration. To be fair, the huge window by the desk in the article makes it a naturally more appealing space than my own. But it’s enough to make me rethink the layout we have here so far. Especia

This is absolutely fantastic. I've thought before about trying to render skies on the web as a series of gradients overlaid on top of one another. I expect I could have had some level of success and gotten some mediocre results, but it
