This may be a cynical take, but as someone with 10+ years of experience why should I care if companies are too short sighted to value and train juniors?

That's ... an interesting observation. I've found that LLMs work great when they can check their work and have a clear notion of what correct looks like. e.g. a good test suite they can rely on. I'm sure a REPL helps out wi

I fully agree that most people won't be comfortable if they're the "only" man or woman at the party. How do you suggest evening genders out? Inviting couples is fine by definition; but I only really know single men. It

How would you handle the case where you want to trace 100% of errors? Presumably you don't know a trace is an error until after you've executed the thing and paid the price.

It's more accurate to say those do the boilerplate of memory access necessary for complex types for you. You're still basically limited to integers and floats. But when you think about it, isn't that basically true for nativ

Can you elaborate a bit on codeowners, I've not heard of that kind of solution before.

No joke, I used to work there until they went RTO. But I liked the product. It's crazy that our politicians can trade like they do.

100% I've had great success inviting people to dinner parties and such. This works great for people I already know. I've tried hosting public groups, with partial success. Have you got any ideas there? I've tried posting ev

To be clear; you're supposed to have a separate shell open where you do these steps? MM, interesting idea.

Sounds like cool tech, but why would I want to run Linux in my browser? What use cases does this enable? Thanks

I'm living this life right now; except we baked in notions of Assets/Liabilities/Income/Expenses into our ledger logic. Only to realize our customers don't care and just want to do whatever it is they've been

Most of the time I've just had a completely sleepless night; I normally just muddle through with a lot of coffee. I've tried taking a sick day for this sort of thing, but I found that puttering around at home just threw me off ev

Oh undoubtedly they'll make a nice editor; I just think it's a tough thing to monetize when there's so many 'good enough' free editors around.

How are these guys funding a startup for the Nth text editor? If they have the guts to try this full time I suppose there's really no excuse for me not having a go at my own thing.

That sounds like a great manager. Not really the same situation as what I saw.

I suppose this makes more sense, though I feel like if they'd put in even a partial effort they could've dragged it out much longer than they did. Boom, FAANG wages at boring mid-west companies.

Correct, I myself am fully remote.

I only mean AWOL in that they aren't available/online/in-office. So just cashing paychecks without actually doing anything.

How Often Have You Seen Mostly or 100% AWOL Managers?

Potential technical co-founder here. Also on the y combinator matching platform... If I landed on your profile, I'd probably send a match invite. The only things I'd want to talk about are A: what's the business model and B

Hey memset, If you're still looking for someone, I'd be happy to chat with you. I'm an ex-Facebook engineer, but I'd be willing to consider a part time thing if it covers my living expenses. I've got my own startup

I remember that too, the ambiguity for me was how their fuzzing was good enough to explore an arbitrary state space efficiently enough. The deterministic hypervisor is 'simple' enough albeit a pretty heavy engineering lift.

I would suggest that our geopolitical precariousness comes from our social divisions. I doubt Russia, China, or anyone else will ever be able to invade. But if the losers of globalism keep getting purposefully shortchanged I can more easil

I can see how determinism can be achieved (not easy, but possible), and I can see how describing a few important system invariants can match 100's or 1000's of hand rolled tests, but I'm having a hard time understanding how i

Have you considered adding a 3-months-every-year option? I wonder if automating the second type of customer would provide you a lift in revenue.

Very interesting, I like the idea of frctl. Signed up.
