I’ve been referring to it as “Dunning-Kruger As A Service” for quite some time. Interesting that other folks are coming to the same conclusion. There’s a subtlety here, tho. It doesn’t mean (at all) that’s it useless. Just that those who do

I’ve had some pretty good results with Claude Code over the last 18 months or so, and “agentic engineering” (as opposed to “vibe coding”) is now very tightly integrated into my workflow. But it’s pretty easy to see how it can devolve to Dun

I went back about 2 years ago and speed ran all of them. Somehow the sequels seemed substantially better than I remember them. In fact, on the first watch I was _so_ disappointed with 2 that I didn’t even watch 3. 20-odd years later, I had

Congrats! Nice work. I’m a fellow “Phoenix |> Elixir” fan and built something similar here [0]. I’m still ironing the kinks out of mine, but I’ve moved all of my personal sites over to it and it’s been running for almost a year now. [0]

Totally agree with this, too! The books are great and I’ve read all four a few times over, but the audiobooks are something else. The guy who reads them manages to strike a near perfect balance between “reading” and “acting” that is just su
