I’d add on to that lifecycle demands: a development project with no users has a tight cheap feedback loop with high quality bug reports with relatively obvious bug sources, once issues start working through layers of QA and customers the pe

How do you work on Windows in the age of LLMs? That’s easy: you activate WSL and then ask the LLM how to get networking and stuff working since they changed it with WSL2. You need a config file flag to setup network mirroring now.

Sam Altman says a lot of crazy stuff, but I don’t think that is where the ‘bubble’ is coming from. In recent months we’ve had the first automated unmanned amphibious assault, the daily drone count in our hot wars is jumping by leaps and bou

In .Net-land we have access to a lot of the underlying MS library code, and reflection/decompilation if needed. MS has layers, there are A-teams, B-teams, and so-on. Simultaneously they are dropping both world class work and, to your

I have a sneaking suspicion that if everyone proffering an LLM coding opinion stated their languages and area of focus/expertise we’d all be in a lot more agreement about the output… Example 1: “ as a JavaScript front-end developer wor

Taking a multi-decade perspective, I wonder if our general analysis is focused too much on the initial wave of LLM tech and current gen GPUs. Owning a massive data center connected to water and power and network that can be targeted or conv

Longer commutes aren’t just about work, and that time in the car is not free. Kids, kids sports, kids social lives, and kids schooling can leave people trapped in their cars day in and day out trying to reconcile modern urban socialization

I keep waiting for a company to start pushing an “anti-AI AI”, Apple being my most likely speculative candidate. Flagging, highlighting, filtering, and avoiding AI slop online seems like a very lucrative capability to bake into some consume
