I can't remember where I heard this, but the moment it flipped for me is when someone phrased this as - "be a heat shield". A heat shield has some leakage of heat that the people inside know that there's heat, but enough

It's a nice write up. > Build it and they will come is a fallacy. This is true. But is this the alternative? No trying to minimize the efforts of people who do this as real jobs or influencing - you do you. However, generating fake

I think this + node:test makes Node.js a pretty compelling sensible default for most things now. Running things with `tsx` was such a QoL improvement when it happened, but it didn't solve everything. Runtime type assertion at the edges

I've had a notion that LLMs can read Typescript types much better, than JSON schema types. So, I've been tinkering around with a library that can generate schemas for structured JSON outputs, according to a Typescript-like custom

Zod doesn't give you the ability to serialize or de-serialize schemas, unless you convert to JSON schema, which is verbose. See: https://github.com/colinhacks/zod/discussions/2030

Strictly speaking about large, complex, sprawling codebases, I don't think you can beat the experience that an IDE + coding agent brings with a terminal-based coding agent. Auto-regressive nature of these things mean that errors accumu

Agents easily spend >90% of their time waiting for LLMs to reply and optionally executing API calls in other services (HTTP APIs and DBs). In my experience the performance of the language runtime rarely matters. If there ever was a langu

Personal opinion. I swore away from it for 10 years, but came back recently. And I'm pleasantly surprised with the developer experience of MongoDB Atlas (the cloud version). You just have to keep in mind the common sense best practices
