I think a lot about a mismatch of effort these days. Here's an extreme example: I spend an hour drafting a doc outlining our engineering strategy for the next few quarters (or if we're in a startup, maybe writing up my product vis

Would throw Air in there, though it's more chillout/triphop than techno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBVK7Z9AyNM&list=RDZBVK7Z9Ay...

I feel like both the point you quote and your response are valid, and not mutually exclusive. It's great that you were able to avoid lifestyle creep and that $200K felt like a lot of money that "had a huge impact on my later finan

That resonates with me, too. I've tried building beautiful, does-one-thing well projects. I like the way you phrase it: > I try to be the best, in the list of “that specific feature” providers, not one of them, or one of the good on

I use an M1 for personal development an an M4 for work. I'm a typical dev. I don't feel any difference.

I am genuinely curious what you're hoping to get out of your goal to use claude code daily!

Thank you for putting my feelings into words. "Really weird" is exactly how I feel. AI output in our work should be measured in engineering progress, not in use metrics, right?

It's kind of crazy how nice people in multiplayer are. Nobody says anything about my mother or what kind of content I'm downloading to cause lag. Everyone's got the personality of, like, a chill dad now. People are more inter

The Gentleman is my go-to piano library to mess around! I have Noire and a few others, but have always loved its sound. But also, yeah, NI is to music what... VS Code is to devs, right? Everyone uses/makes Kontakt libraries at some poi

Maybe I'm buying into the cool-aid, but I actually really liked the self-aware tone of this post. > Based on our benchmarks, we are uniquely good at catching bugs. However, if all company blogs are to be trusted, this is something w

Absolutely love this kind of project, combining different data sources to predict/model how you're doing. I also use chess as a proxy for my brain is working!

If anyone Googles it and is wondering about Feeling Good (1999) and Feeling Great (2020) by the same author, it seems like Feeling Great is just an updated version of the original book, based on more experience and new insights. Here's

It's crazy that it set off our alarms at the same time. One agreement -- oh, nice human. Two -- what is this!?

I love Addy's work, and enjoyed this article -- and I completely agree that it felt very LLM-y. I'm not sure what's scarier; that we know some of this didn't come from the author (and maybe that's okay?) or that one

This feels like a good second draft. There's definitely a message in here, but it shifts through the piece. To me, the most poignant sentence was " If I can just keep chugging forward, I will end up somewhere that is not here.&quo

So glad someone already spoke up about this -- I love Wired, and I think that piece is really poor (not because I love Ruby or think it's without fault, but because the argument it makes is essentially "it's not Ruby or Pytho

AI is helpful for this, but I also built https://www.hackterms.com eight years ago for this exact reason.

Who does your design? I absolutely love this aesthetic, both this product, and your site (chorus.sh). What is this even called? I went for a similar vibe with tinylogger.com, but def didn't have your skills to pull it off.
