I’m sure it depends on the type of work, but for mine, Codex is much more helpful. Honestly, it mostly comes down to it being significantly faster, probably because as many have said, it seems tuned to not spit out word vomit, both in its c

If every commit has full ai conversation baggage, and you feed that history back to an ai… aren’t you wildly inflating context with stuff that may or may not matter? How does this even work with thousands of “commits?”

pretty much every day I feel that tickling of “what the hell did I just do?” but I don’t care. I put 15 years into my tech career. I am good at building software, and I will not let this ridiculous “resume gap” problem stop me from taking a

yeah, at a local pizza/taproom place. they share tips with cooks, works out to ~$35/hr. I'm not expecting it to replace a tech salary, but it helps offset the savings burn (which was specifically set aside for this). engaging

yeah! it's pretty cool when I start doing something that used to be difficult and now it's just... not. weird how long your old form sticks with you in your head like that.

I have always wanted a web browser with tmux/iterm2 style tabs/panes, as well as the ability to save the window configuration and tab contents to a file that can be checked in to projects and loaded. Load all of your project'

I just recently decided to replace iterm2 with wezterm when I started moving macbook over to nix. iterm2 is about the only one that didn’t work well for this, since you can’t source control the configuration (import/export doesn’t cut

Completely agree, I hate the “hackathon” for so many reasons, guess I’ll vent here too. All of this from the perspective of one frustrated software engineer in web tech. First of all, if you want innovation, why are you forcing it into a si

Maybe, maybe not, it’s hard to tell from articles like this from OSS projects what is generally going on, especially with corporate work. There is no such rhetoric at $job, but also, the massive AI investment seemingly has yet to shift the

I’ll give it a fair go, but how is it not going to have the same problem of _maybe_ using MCP tools? The same problem of trying to add to your prompt “only answer if you are 100% correct”? A skill just sounds like more markdown that is fed

That is a really neat interview format, the lightning round of varying themes of common tasks! This right here proves to me you are a good interviewer: > I'm not worried about whether the string split command takes its parameters in

Already a very neat project, but it would be really interesting to: 1. Display a progress bar for the memory limit being reached 2. Feed that progress back to the model I would be so curious to watch it up to the kill cycle, see what happen

Yes, I have read novels. I don’t think blog posts and novels compare at all.

> In my opinion the answer is honestly pretty simple: blogs and RSS feeds. This point is made very often, and I do believe it was true for many people, but I honestly didn’t care about individual blogs at all when I was a young net user.

Damn, you hate to see it. I was skeptical of the hate at first, but this is pretty lame, I take it back and admit to being wrong before.

Honestly I don’t know how to feel about it anymore, but I found the rhetoric way too explosive at the time, when nothing was really known. Now that some time has passed, and more has been said… yeah I get your point too. Ruby has been a HUG

Very reasonable other side to this story, which doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Too bad it didn’t hit the front page. People went WAY too far WAY too fast on this. There HAS to be urgency to this, the software supply chain is presently,

Aren’t supply chain attacks caused by package maintainer accounts being compromised? I suppose too many people with keys to the package repository itself is also liability, but those accounts being compromised just hasn’t been what is happe

I once had the opportunity at a comedy festival to see John Mulaney’s same set twice, and it’s pretty wild to see with your own eyes.
