Designing flow state is really interesting. I've never been lucky enough to build with the intention of having other people enter flow. 8000 hours of Dota 2 had many hours of flow state as the player however..

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it ~ there's flow state in many things, music, crafts, climbing... But I miss the flow state in programming

I would do the same for my children ~ However children have a special ability to revolt against any arbitrary constraints provided by parents, community, society. It differs person to person of course.

This is a play on words from this (excellent) NYTimes Opinion piece by Jasmine Sun [1] titled "Silicon Valley is bracing for the permanent underclass" [1]": https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/op

Correct, even though Ruby the language exists and predates Rails. What -- 80%+ of all Ruby code is Rails? Effectively the largest consumer and producer of the language which I think is a net benefit to your point. Correct in that Ruby never

Author here, wasn't expecting this piece of writing to show up on HN. The specifics of Python were chosen only due to the language ecosystem being fragmented and inconsistent while Python remains an essential learning, research, and no

If you haven't already, read the book "The Second Kind of Impossible" by Paul Steinhardt https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35297608-the-second-kind... It's a riveting account of years of res

I am also saying the same thing. They are commenting that the flight of human capital was coming from abroad and is no longer. However that's not what brain drain means. You would say "Iran had a brain drain in the 70s" not &

If you "drain" something the subject of the verb is what is being drained not where it is draining to.

A brain drain means the intelligent population emigrates to other countries. The narrative and data do not support Americans going abroad. I think you're referring to a lack of competitive education for those coming outside of America

I run a s business (small if you compare it to tech companies). I can tell you the drag is between your own tools and the real world (which is very messy and inconsistent): taxes, compliance, payroll, amendments, share structures, etc. With

I'm glad we went to space, truly. Racing the USSR might have been the wrong reason but it got us there. We've benefited immensely as a species from exploring the solar system and looking deep into the universe. I'm not certai

In higher dimensional vector space, yes it can. Dimensionality gets bizarre in 1000-D space. Similarity and orthogonality express themselves in strange ways and each dimension codes different semantic meaning. Therefore, if the training dat

Previously in my life as an IC, I wrote a lot of Golang. I worked on the larger end to end encrypted video calling service. I hated it. I was dreaming of Rust the entire time to release me from the hell of if err != nil dozens of time per d

Don't mistake age for durability. A new cast iron pan is durable. The point isn't in providence but in practice. Durable tools (new or old) show themselves immediately.

Zed is a durable piece of software, rather than the current trend of cheap disposable software. Regardless of whether humans or agents use a tool like this, durability is a benefit for both. Congrats to the team

If anyone was wondering ... it's racist Unsurprisingly the texts written up until that time were dominated by such individuals which is tragic for LLM training if you think about it. The voiceless groups or fringe opinions which we tak
