The A/B test infrastructure is. It’s easy to wire up experiments because there is always a template/recipe to do so. Multiple subsystems can be strung together (eg: Experiment arm XX in subsystem A triggers Experiment arm YY in su

Personally, I don’t run multiple sessions / agents (apart from the one claude code spawns on it’s own). But it seems you need an agent workspace manager - perhaps something like gastown? https://github.com/gastownhall&

True. This was written with the context of Google which was, to a large extent and up until very recently, a good example of the resilience and magic a slime mold can be. It is not true today, and as you mentioned "fundamentally incomp

To add to this, MCPs usually focus on capabilities. This is especially useful in multi-hop situations. As an illustration, lets say I ask the agent to “Read the issue Bob posted today from Linear (issue tracker), pull relevant logs from Dat

Thanks for the link. Very succinct. Coincidentally, just a week back, I ordered the book it mentions. I completely agree with everything you mentioned (And thanks for giving in numbers too!). Since you’ve clearly thought this through, if I

Very well summed up. In addition, same set of questions can also be asked to people who've recently left the organisation. I'd use the following criteria to filter ex employees: - Reliable 1st/2nd level connections - Folks wh

Well written article > DON'T BE AFRAID TO DISMANTLE THE WRONG ABSTRACTION Couldn't agree more with the statement, though I don't completely agree with the author's suggestion to copy paste. Duplicating code _is debt_.

While I completely agree with your _sentiments_ I think there is a conflation between choosing _the right tool_ for the job vs using 'too many things'. I shun the unnecessary - completely with you on that. But I'd prefer gai

Thank you for starting such an interesting thread. Going through all the comments a few days after the question was asked is very rewarding ! So many books marked as 'to read' :) My contribution: If you're not familiar with

You, sir, seem to have a xkcd catalogued in your head much better than I do. Thank you sensei ! Well met indeed :)

Thank you for this - and the references to how you came across the concept. I was personally only recently introduced to anki [1] & [2] However, I tried it out but I couldn't end up using it to 'remember books' or broader

Does xkcd even need attribution? I was sure most readers would recognise the art (if not the comic) :) Point taken and corrected (noob blogger mistakes!) Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. It does have a short write up on things to do. I have a lot more opinions on that, but was trying to balance out the overall length of the post. Will try having one out just on the dev environment :)

This is quite the representative case between Infra teams (or PaaS or SRE - based on where you're located) and application teams. Being part of the platform team, I've been in the exact same situation before at an ex employer. We

All my dotfiles are in a git repo. Whenever I'm doing a fresh install, I simply download all my most-used packages and rsync the dot files. I'm planning on investing some time and setting up Ansible so I only have to install pytho

With all my heart, I agree with you; but I wished I shared some of your enthusiasm. I've been brought up with the saying, 'The sole purpose of education is to help a person think sensibly in difficult times'. However, I'

(i) it's a very interesting point that you put forth. Yes, robots will compensate for the _working population_ ; However, I think the OP wants to direct the attention towards the economic impact of a changing demographic. Robots won&#x

This, right here is the problem with our industry. Someone has a brain wave and asks a [set of] hardworking engineer(s) to 'make it happen yesterday'. Engineers toil away and bring out something useful by making all possible hacks
