There is a sort of symmetry here with there also being things that everyone writes that no one reads. * Cover Letters * Most test reports * Lots of docs required by the government * I'm sure there are more you can think of So now we ca

Some of the bottle style ones claim to go up to 6W, they would also be easier to double or triple up. They are not nearly as nice and efficient as the hub dynamos though

Instead of building up a sane system for handling dependencies, just copy-paste them whole cloth into your code! Instant rockstar status!

Story time! I Worked with not just a "rockstar" but what I suspect was a "superstar" for about three years at my last gig. It was a small company with about 3-4 developers at any given time and we worked on an embedded L

I haven't found it that useful for doing any actual "agentic" coding at $DAYJOB with lots of legacy code it wasn't trained on (because proprietary). I do find it useful for summarizing sections of code that I am working

Since everyone else is sharing their experiences with this book here is mine: Reading this books was a huge turning point for me as someone with diagnosed mild Autism. I think a lot of the things in this books are fairly obvious to non neur

"Our goal should be to give an LLM coding agent zero degrees of freedom" Wouldn't that just be called inventing a new language with all the overhead of the languages we already have? Are we getting to the point where getting

Ok, I think you are going to need to explain to me why "Overconfidence resulting from ignorance" isn't exactly the same thing as "lacking metacognitive ability to understand one's own skill level". Just worded

Interesting. It would be great if they could open source that too. I would love me some fully hackable smartwatch hardware!

Ooof, no hardware schematics? Also missing datasheets? This projects seems like a very tall task to me without these fundamental missing pieces. Will Google release them soon or am I looking the the wrong place?

This is good advice but only it has been followed from the beginning and consistently throughout the development of the original code. It is applicable to large organizations with lots of resources who hire professional developers and have

`the do {} while (0)` block with breaks does exactly what goto does but it is so much more hacky, less flexible and harder to follow IMHO.

Fascinating article, didn't know skip lagging was a thing or that it is illegal. It definitely shouldn't be, just seems to be government protecting entrenched corporate interests at the cost of the populace. aka par for the course

You make the exact same argument as the article and then call the premise of the article bad... I'm not sure what to make of that.
