I interviewed at Linkedin in 2020 or so - interview went great, team fit was great, all the interviews were great, the recruiter told me he was going to prepare an offer... then I never heard from them again. 4 years later, a recruiter mess

You’re doing native apps wrong if they’re 300mb. And also no web app in 2026 is just 50kb!

I know, I agree both have their uses :-) I was just jesting about the kind of extreme OP went for.

webapps are inefficient, clunky, slow substitutes to actual native apps. I think decades of marketing and billions spent by Google trying to convince people that webapps are better is what makes many tech people think they are. Literally. P

Any promising techniques so far? I’m working on a rather large monorepo and very few people on the team are managing to keep up with it. Looking for ideas to improve comprehension.

Yea I think this was somewhat true back in 2001. With bots composing half the traffic of the internet, governments controlling massive social botnets and the polarization of politics everywhere, the internet became a full scale spam/ha

Every time a big paradigm shift happens in technology, people try to find equivalences between brain/consciousness/humanness and the latest tech they can comprehend. We are “just” magic clay golems, mechanical contraptions not unl

Same for the Vision Pro. Locking down a $3k media consumption device to a single user is such a greedy move, it's unbelieavable

I think this ship has sailed pretty hard, by now. Pretty much any app you can possibly use, from iTerm to Slack, is sending data to third-party LLMs (sometimes explicitly, most times as small features here and there)

Vscode’s performance is pretty bad. It’s “tolerable” just like any electron app.

It’s just irrelevant for most users. These companies are getting more adoption than they can handle, no matter how clunky their desktop apps are. They’re optimizing for experimentation. Not performance.

80% of the world population back then is less than 50% of the current number of people working in farming, so the assertion isn’t wrong, even if fewer people are working on farming proportionally (as it should be, as more complex, desirable

> If you have not learned CS, how do you expect to separate the LLM wheat from the chaff? I didn't mention anything about learning CS. You can be a great engineer without having A* memorized line by line, no?

We're at a point in the LLM curve where there's two huge, polarized groups of developers: - the ones who don't see any value on AI for coding and dismiss it as a fad at every change they get - the ones who are in love with th

The medium shapes the message. People who use Twitter a lot tend to write in tweet form. I just hope I don't start calling people dumb when they don't get what I'm trying to tell them do with a single prompt/request, lik

confusing any law with "moral principles" is a pretty naive view of the world. Many countries base some of their laws on well accepted moral rules to make it easier to apply them (it's easier to enforce something the majority

Google APIs in general are hilariously hard to adopt. With any other service on the planet, you go to a platform page, grab an api key and you’re good to go. Want to use Google’s gmail, maps, calendar or gemini api? Create a cloud account,
