Congrats mate - Great to see this and loved working with you all on a very very very tiny part of this! Looking forward to a lot more awesome releases and features!

This. I found superpowers a huge token guzzler. And more generic a skill is the worse it seemed to perform. I have found that skills are something you need to build yourself and for your needs and most importantly be willing to throw a

This is what i thought/hoped. But man it is surprisingly buggy. Connections drop so fast and flakily. So many times I steppedd out of the house in a rush hoping remote control would help stay connected. And every time ive been sore

This is fantastic. Ive been so fortunate to work with the mcp folks last few months on a couple of the SEPs (and my own experimental sdk in go). I used to be a naysayer. "Its just apis" I used to say. "Sheesh the invente

Not to mention inflation. Whats not clear is whether UBI is cash or does it include access to "basic" facilities like health, education and housing?

I've actually been doing this for a year. I call it /checkpoint instead and it does some thing like: * update our architecture.md and other key md files in folders affected by updates and learnings in this session. * update claud

Clint thanks heaps for this. Really good to see a lot of old school CS/Graph theory applied in a nice way. On an unrelated note - I did notice you were also a lawyer - So umm how what is next for you re this? What should we gear up f

Dang this was my reaction too! I thought a large part of it was open source (i remember the old anaconda days). TIL I guess!

I am really flabbergasted. How are they thinking using React for a TUI is a flex? Having 5 sessions open - and all idea - is taking up 98% of CPU. Is this another case of - "When all you is hammer, everything looks like nails&quo

Im confused. Are you asking how to make money or how to spend your time if money was not a concern? Answering the second question - I can find 48hours worth of things to do in a 24 hour day and none of them would be about work or just lazy

I mean duh? At the very least wouldnt one just show upt to their job for the "non work related" activities? Or work becomes your "passive income"?

Did they? I can get a 70" "smart"-tv for a few hundred bucks with a crap load of bloatware. But I cannot get the same TV that is "dumb" at anywhere near that price point (I just want a bunch of HDMI ports that I

Oh man so many things. I wrote a bunch of cool things a few years ago (and recently too) but have been scared to publish - mainly because even though ive used them in production, I felt publishing means having high quality docs etc. So n

There are different degrees of "ai wrote all my code". A very crappy way of doing it is to keep on one shotting it expecting it to "fall on the right solution" - very much infinite monkeys, infinite typewriters scenario

I really don't understand the fetishisizing of the demise of software engineers. Are other knowledge workers like doctors or lawyers going to be exterminated by AI? Or is there even a fantasizing of their demise? The only reason I c

Frankly I really don't know what id don't not in tech. Closest I van think of is some kind of mathematician but don't even know what those "jobs" look like. Academia might be another. But these are all tech adjac

This. Companies are chomping at the bits about developer productivity and how they can do 10x more. What is not clear even if they can fire 90% of their engineers (assuming the 10x productivity gain is real), how are they expecting that

Author here. For those wondering - Claude Code was used but not in the "generate me this huge X with a single shot prompt after 8 hours of thinking" mode :).

Hot damn. Id love to hear the origin story of this.

One thing I still struggle to this day is the float/long conversion from json <-> proto. It somehow works and I still untangle the feeling of magic.

by flashgordon 10mo ago
+1 Couple of things I really hate about proto - No generics/templates. No composition of services or mixins (you do have composition in messages but that feels very limited). Also the clunkiness around having to declare more things

Totally - The other really nice thing about Golang "type-system" ecosystem is their native ast in the stdlib. You can do so many amazing things from there. Infact if you pledge your life to Go (which I think I have atleast for n

I really like the idea of it. My dream has always been to work with "types" first and foremost across any and all languages (yep it is a dream). And little tools like these are really nice to see push that boundary. One feedba

Oh i didnt mean that smart pointers were bad or detriemental. Or even that any of the other gazzilion features of C++ were bad (or detrimental) on their own. Just that C++ has sooo many features that i dont think there is any one in the w

by flashgordon 10mo ago
Actually this was my first instinct too. Just limit what you use c++ for and write c code with templates and be done with it. The problems I am guessing start when you are tempted into using the rest of the features one by one. You have ge

I always feel like choosing between rust and go is like picking between node (ts/js) and python when it comes to stdlib out-of-the-box-ness!
