A huge amount of it is also the amount of training data. Agda will have little training data so the result will not be nearly as good. I did a shoot out of making AI make the same simple desktop app from a SwiftUI reference for 30 different

Uber has fairly large golang and java codebases so they have more of an apple to apples comparison here since they are both GC languages of a similar performance class. And if a large population tends to make more mistakes with 200hp sedan

The world isn't just backend. There are mobile projects, games, native desktop apps which act together as a suite and web frontends. Also microservices bring up their own host of issues and extra labor. Both are essentially the sema

The big thing about monorepos in this case is making a change atomic across a set of projects. Multirepos can't do this 99% of the time and often add a lot more procedure to something close. It's inherently async.

IMO AI agents harnesses (claude code, codex, etc) haven't added monorepo features yet as of a couple of months ago and thats what makes them painful. Basic things like, only apply these skills to the subdir that the .agents/skill

Yes this existed at least since 2018 or 2019 at Uber.

It's very similar to being an EM, and if you think EMs are useless, the vast majority EMs have decided it's not worth their time to educate you, and the few who have tried to gently probably went over your head.

I wrote something similar a couple years ago too after having a pretty bad time with swift ui and concurrency: https://medium.com/goodones/pareto-optimal-apple-devtools-b4...

Dude, disclose the AI writing; it has AI smells all over it, such as contrastive sentences.

No, I mean for some, a high saturated fat diet can do amazing wonders. And for others, it causes horrible issues. The studies are not well segmented genetically and by body state since that is signficantly more expensive and genetics only

Different countries are different, some are far more trigger happy about it like Canada. What you suggest as an alternative other than 'git gud' diet & exercise also changes it.

I've tried designing information-dense things for colorblind coworkers, and they seemed a bit disinterested in testing it out with me. Even with tools that simulate it, you can still be off, I've found. There can be some sensitiv

17 years is far from rapid or move fast and break things. ApoB has been known about for quite a long time, since the 90s its effects have been obvious, and showed up in research in the 70s-80s!!! It's still not part of standard testi

If you dig into research and follow the low-risk experiments that people do online to reduce their Lp(a), you can find techniques and evidence to do so. It doesn't have to be an impossible-to-fix issue. I like this list of experiments

If you fix it without statins through better lifestyle and diet, that is the preferrable route. As to why medicine is like this, it's because it's conservative, usually about 17 years behind university research[0], and doctors are

IMO, I think that is more of a saturated fat issue, and only a subset of the population is like that. Others solve their health issues through eating a lot of red meat.

It's a fairly useful tool if you know how to use it. People will also play with it as a toy. It's much like the masses getting access to cheap video cameras and smartphones with good cameras. It's going to enable different

Yes, much like wet streets are a high predictor of rain. Or smoke, firefighters and wood are a high predictor of fire. The firefighters are not causing the fire, neither do the wet streets cause rain. This is what people are trying to

Don't you sign something to the effect that you have not hidden testing like this that you are aware of?

Cholesterol is more of a proxy "smoke" or "firefighter" measure than a measurement of the actual fire. It's very much a wet streets cause rain kind of thing. Artificially eliminating the firefighters doesn't n

I was the manager in this case, and I also hated JIRA with a passion. It's often the managers doing the alternative spreadsheets too and only using JIRA as necessary. I found you didn't need to "hound" developers with

Yeah, burnout is hard, and real. Everything you've described, I've literally been in an equivalent. To get out of these ruts requires a sober assessment of where you are and some hard decisions, and maybe the end result is acce

JIRA is so dysfunctional in many places that people do a good chunk of intra-team planning in spreadsheets and docs instead, and use JIRA sparingly to make everyone faster. I saw this effect live at my previous big tech after they moved to

IMO you need all types. A well-functioning team has people with different strengths that can get pathological when they go too far, and they cover for each other's strengths. The "just do it" high work ethic guys like that

Procrastination is not a time management problem; it's an emotional management problem. What it comes down to is not having belief in what you do, so you do other things. You might feel trapped, so you pass the time with stuff like Yo

I tend to reject full on large homework assignments like that unless I get a guarantee of feedback.
