You get sales first. Then you build the thing.

I've been doing this pre-2012. There's always been vendor lock-in. Someone has to implement technologies to the standards, those are most of the time commercial interests. Apache vs nginx, rhel vs debian, spring vs j2ee, etc. etc.

We don't need to fix hosting. There's no such thing as "portable" or "generic" and there never will be. At a certain point you have to use an implementation of <thing> and that's going to lock you in

I'm just not understanding the point... Have LLMs just made it too easy to make new projects?

What do you mean "using MCP in production"? Like as a deployed component in our customer facing app stack? Not being used in that context that I'm aware of. I think there's a couple use cases being worked on though. Are

> Numbers cannot always go up Isn't that how our monetary system works though? Inflation means the numbers WILL always go up.

In my professional life I've removed everything besides MCPs that connect to our knowledge base, gitlab, and jira. For personal projects I never used them. It was never that hard to type a couple extra sentences and it always felt like

And this is the shit we're seeing in public. Can't tell you how much garbage AI tooling is being built within my org. Whole teams spinning their wheels basically rebuilding claude code because execs are obsessed with "dark fa

I like it. I built a chrome plugin for rating the best dish at a restaurant, this definitely reminds me of that. Added a couple spots in Seattle (where it's exceptionally hard to get any food below $10) No suggestions, just happy to se

Most of the AI tools people are building have little to zero value. If you're making valuable tools, anthropic, openai, or one of the other big players in the space will hire you/buy you out and then they will release the tool the

No, I think there is. Too many people building AI tools. I see it in my org. Tons of low value work but the ai sycophant is telling everyone "you're a genius, this is great" so they continue. We built a "fire and forget&

I'm going to be blunt. I don't care about any more AI tools.

Companies are putting a ton of effort into getting to that point of having agents do the work unsupervised. Whoever gets there first is going to be the winner. I personally don't think it's possible and I haven't written a li

I don't think most people care where their electricity comes from, just the price.

I've only had an EV 3 months now, but it'll never see a charging station. I pay around $.12/kw and get 4 miles per kw. So my "energy" costs are $.03/mile. I have a Mazda cx50 as well, it gets about 20-22mpg, wi

I started this blog post, like a lot of my posts by stream of thought writing about a few things I've been thinking about lately. This one started out about how I've been building pretty much everything myself and then it dawned o

I'd honestly argue we're actually going the complete opposite direction. Everybody is using LLMs/AI. All the time. It's in every facet of your life. Just because you didn't input the prompt, doesn't mean you&#x

Got distracted and didn't touch on the godot specifics. I start the project in godot, then I talk to an agent to define my game and give details. I tell it to have a conversation with the end goal to be building a CLAUDE/AGENTS&#x

I use any of the 3 big frontier models; claude, chatgpt, gemini I only use the cli tools; claude code, codex, gemini cli (which is being phased out for antigravity cli soon) I've generally had the best luck and enjoy working with claud

There's no false dichotomy. You're just choosing to miss the point to argue semantics.

They have definitely built some of it in. And yes, right now you still need the architectural and system design knowledge because the LLM will fuck that up. We'll all find out if that continues being needed in the future. From what I u

Not sure what I'm going to link to in my professional life, it's all private repos. We have a large microservice architecture in AWS. We've made major changes and the LLMs have helped every step of the way. Migrated our whole

This isn't about distinction between literal titles. But continue missing the point.

I mean, go look at the author's linkedin and github. They're a "dev" with 20 years of 1 year of experience. Not a software "engineer" There's a big difference between the two and LLMs are increasing the ch

You're just witnessing "Software Developers" cry out over LLMs. "Software Engineers" are embracing LLMs and getting shit done same as before.

This is a guy who has 20 years of 1 year of experience. His blog includes his linkedin and github, just give it a look over.

Funny, the element of ego I'm seeing are the devs that can't accept that LLMs write perfectly good code at a faster pace. It's always "slop" this or "vibe coded" that. Meanwhile I've personally shippe

Just look at the author's accolades. They are very light. I've never heard of this guy. He's "self employed" The article lacks any real detail and it just a guy patting himself on the back.
