I've been running Hermes inside a remote docker container connected to Slack bound to a Codex account. It's actually pretty great, I prefer this approach for a lot of things. Because it's in a Docker container I have 100% c

I'm frequently listening to music or a video in the background. Join a zoom call early because I don't want to be late, instant AM radio. You can argue I shouldn't do this, I'll argue that it shouldn't matter and

That's not true at all of the corporate world. If your team is mass producing slop and you don't have processes in place to get it under control, you've got a big problem on your hand. If any engineer sent me a 20,000 line r

How do you handle them? I'm not facing this problem as the team I work with is very senior and have good taste and discipline. But I can imagine it will be a problem at some point, and I frequently have to personally tell Claude to r

Maybe. I don't have enough context, but maybe that's what he wanted to do? Whatever you may think about it, I'm pretty convinced Ozzy wanted to go out with a big concert. Nobody had to push him to do it.

Maybe. It's been what I wished Java was since the beginning, personally.

I'm not sure I want another layer of indirection personally, and I'm guessing an updated Claude model will reign this in at some point. I have however created a skill I call "deslop" and I invoke it to clean up Claude o

This doesn't change the fact that those soft skills are necessary to use LLMs effectively. You need a mixture of hard and soft skills. Engineers who have avoided learning the soft skills are going to have a harder time adjusting.

Tracing what it actually did. Who would have thought that's a good idea, instead of trying to obfuscate everything.

I hate fighting with the AI to get a good summary. Reading the good summary is great. Getting to it is the challenge. First attempt: mountains of meta conversation and not answering the original question. Second attempt: shorter and more

He was showing how complex and expensive a data center is and giving them real-world visceral experience that inefficient code has real-world implications.

Do you have SLO/SLAs defined? Are you monitoring performance? CPU usage? Cost increases? You should have plenty of data to review regularly and push back on any teams that are causing problems. That's a process problem and you

The parent didn't go into any detail. I can. Homebrew has a history of ripping out your foundation underneath you. One day you are on Python 3.8, then next day you are on Python 3.10 and all your packages are broken. MacPorts doesn

I want to see a graph or flame graph or something akin to how Temporal renders workflows in real-time. I want to follow along as all the different sub-agents and tool calls do their work. I also want to know how much this is costing me at

My comment is dismissive because the parent comment is also dismissive. But you are right, advice is helpful. It's in my comment, but it may not be obvious to everybody, so here it is: Work on your project management, communication,

You don't need a "blog post." You need experience managing projects, tracking progress, coordinating conversations, mentoring less experienced engineers, etc. That experience comes with practice and time. If you really need

Let me translate this for you: "I have not spent the time cultivating the soft skills necessary to leverage this tool successfully therefore it's the tool that sucks."

You need to 3D print a bracket. That's what will give you the last 10-20%.

Well that's definitely a take. I'm not going to be the first in line to defend government, but more often than not I'm seeing friends and family getting chased out of the hospital BEFORE they should be.

NVIDIA sells the tools. The more the better it is for them. Microsoft and Meta are also-rans at this point. Their best hope of catching up is probably leveraging their infra and open models.

I use both. Both are great. But in terms of Desktop Apps I think Codex has the better UI. It's more straightforward, just works, and has small conveniences like the open in editor icon. Claude's very bloated and convoluted by c

We've been calling him out for YEARS. Half the comments on this article are people calling him out. He can't escape it.

With the obvious exception of Elden Ring, most of the games from these studios are quite modest small to medium sized projects. I wish devs would stop trying to make every game an uber-game. They need all the monetization because they&#x27

Don't fret it. Many of us were in the same boat. Evan can do whatever he wants, but we can also call it out when it's wrong. I personally made the same decision. It became very clear to me that Elm was not the foundation for me

It's not just NY. California, Colorado, Washington, they are trying to pull this bullshit in a whole bunch of states.

I end every project with a long interrogation session. Why did you do this? Is there a better approach you didn't consider? Do the naming conventions follow the project idioms? Justify the decision you made here, providing evidence. I

It's been a couple months so I forget what problems I ran into, but Docker's AI bullshit pushed me over the edge and I tried switching to Podman. I ran into some compatibility issues. Alas I don't recall the details. So I t

I'm not using Cursor at the moment, but when I did (not too long ago) my experience was similar. Plan with Opus, implement with Composer, clean up with Opus. Composer did a competent but not amazing job with a good plan. What I reall
