This is a great point. I find myself in the middle, where I appreciate and look up to past coworkers who were way better than me at attention-to-detail, but I have a tendency to focus on delivering actual results quickly with maintainable a

Technology in the form of computers, cell phones, and AI have been getting cheaper and better. Access to information is another one but that requires agency to take advantage of and get the benefits. This could be personal health, starting&

I spent the last 6 months building Elk Finder ( https://elkfinder.com ) and just launched a few weeks ago. It's a mapping web app similar to onX Hunt, except I have specific layers for finding ideal elk habitat in September a

No, no it's been pretty easy with software engineering. I work on two types of projects and it's very easy to ask claude for a plan, then have gpt 5.5 rip it to shreds and find legit issues, and vice versa. If both 5.5 and claude

I had a similar idea. I picked 10 lbs of morels last year, first time picking. It was a recent burn area from 8 months prior. I was just back out to the same area and there are no morels, but lots of small orange cap looking mushrooms. chat

It's a gimmick only for those who get sucked into buying things that they don't need. I've been a Costco shopper for decades, and sure have succumbed to some useless stuff, but my Costco list is 90% the same month to month. I

This is clever and provides a clean alternative to using custom plugins and mcp servers for doing code reviews. For example, with the degradation of Claude in the past 1-2 months, I am always asking Codex to review Claude's plans and v

I agree, I use codex 5.4 xhigh as my reviewer and it catches major issues with Opus 4.6 implementation plans. I'm pretty close to switching to codex because of how inconsistent claude code has become.

Everything in our life is a black box, but I agree that depending on non-deterministic and sporadic quality black boxes is a huge red flag.

I do the same but I often find that the subtasks are done in a very lazy way.

Yea I went through my global claude skills and /context yesterday because claude was performing terribly. I deleted a bunch of stuff including memory and anecdotally got better results later on in the day.

It’s shifting for knowledge workers too, we just need to pivot. I have had many app ideas for a while and now ai lets me build them quickly. Access to education and knowledge led to your advanced eduction, now access to cheap/fast buil

Their support team likes to sit on things for a while too. I'm on day 4 of waiting for Azure to approve my support request to increase Azure Batch vCPUs from default of 4 to 20 for ESv3 series. I signed up last week and converted to a

I tend to agree. I spent a lot of time revising skills for my brownfield repo, writing better prompts to create a plan with clear requirements, writing a skill/command to decompose a plan, having a clear testing skill to write tests an

That's pretty cool. I'm working in maplibre myself and your json maps seems like it could also be used to demo a workflow or tutorial in a mapping product.

Prompting is just step 1. Creating and reviewing a plan is step 2. Step 0 was iterating and getting the right skills in place. Step 3 is a command/skill that decomposes the problem into small implementation steps each with a dependency

It feels like the late 1990s all over again, but instead of html and sql, it’s coding agents. This time around, a lot of us are well experienced at software engineering and so we can find optimizations simply by using claude code all day lo

I like your website design, especially the two-column layout in most sections once I get past the hero image (full size screenshot). I found myself looking at all the images. The downside is that I did not really get any motivation to try i

Yea it’s pretty easy after doing them, but it’s rare for software developers these days to do that activity on a day to day basis. It reminded me of the software crackers of the 90s and 2000s who would post cracks for windows software like

Hah I feel you there. Around 2 years ago I did a take home assignment for a hiring manager (scientist) for Merck. The part B of the assignment was to decode binary data and there were 3 challenges: easy, medium and hard. I spent around 40 h

I think experiences vary. AI can work well with greenfield projects, small features, and helping solve annoying problems. I've tried using it on a large Python Django codebase and it works really well if I ask for help with a particula

Very good concrete examples. AI is moving very fast so it can become overwhelming, but what has held true is focusing on writing thorough prompts to get the results you want. Senior developers have the experience to think through and plan o

I’m not even close to being on par with other faang engineers but this is far from being a very difficult bug in my experience. The hardest bugs are the ones where the repro takes days to repro. But nonetheless the op’s tenacity is all that

This is exactly the reason why I spend all of my non-desk time outside working out, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, archery hunting, golfing and camping. I even choose to shovel snow over using the snowblower.

This looks great! I was just looking for a good web knowledge graph visualizer.
