To my estimation, you are in B2B, competing with the likes of Wiz. Those with $500k ARR are usually "ad forwarding" or "networking" companies. Think about how you distribute your software, that's probably more impor

Developers are mostly fine, they are already buried in work and won't stop to question long and hard enough. It's the managers and sci-fi grifters that make this entire topic toxic, by assuming no limits should apply to them.

1) If your LLM is behaving like this, you are imprecise in your input. You can also stop responding back and just edit your previous input with the "wisdom" that it shares with you in the current iteration. 2) Don't argue wit

It's the combination of RL training which pushes the decision tree towards hacks and agents finding a consistent dumping ground for their failed experiments so that the swarm intelligence lives on in a state. Nothing new. You want to w

Chatbot+MCP, agentic workflow+harness seems to be the divide in my workplace: Business people want a chat UI, they get MCP. Developers want to automate things, they plug in their dotfiles and other scripts. Not sure if it reflects the large

AI agents get lost all the time, particularly if the codebase is already sprawling out of control. Your discipline only pays off if you already understand your code and/or established clear baseline for your standards before launching

Time series also show a slanted worldview that real unemployment was worse in 90s. Have they not adjusted for dollar inflation? 1999 is really suspicious: Normally at 30-40% unemployment you fear for public unrest and uprising, did I miss a

Classic monopoly move: Control the user base, then control hardware. Any decent always-on local LLM setup with Apple devices will have to compete with these behemoths now. Great.

Did he seriously automate away one of the best quirks of his blog posts, i.e. evaluating new models with a touch of fun? I read AI slop all day, thanks.

You're quoting Good Will Hunting... Is there anyone among us willing to get up on a desk and quote "O captain my captain", too? My sweet summer child, just because it maintains your 2000+ dependency filled codebase for you, i

Oh come on. Objects are objects because you want to freely observe them without consciousness and privacy and taboo attached to them. Entities are entities because you want to assign credit or blame to them, so you want to believe that they

Yeah. One place I worked went down under and they offered to hand out on-prem servers for free. These were 192 GB DDR4 each. I was moving houses and lazy, so I declined. I still think what would've happened if I just rented a car and w

There is one thing European countries all agree on: Their lawmakers know it the best, thus all create their own carve outs and exceptions.

This needs to be adapted to your landscape. Plants don't care if you intended them to sit pretty in a ribbon or horseshoe formation, and they will definitely have better growth on a different patch of your land.

I haven't had much exposure to the Ivy League grad engineers until now, but if they are also on Leetcode treadmill and about grokking interviews... yeah we're in a bit of trouble. I thought they would bring in fresh ideas instead.

If that's the case, then why do we see increased cargo-culting, jumping on to hype trains, and less understanding on computer fundamentals in general that favours more and more abstraction in this field? It's not like we're i

There is something liminal about AI-generated text indeed. First few sentences are promising, then my expectations of reading something tight evaporates eventually. I feel let down, (almost) being tricked into believing that the intro and t

It depends on your personality: If you shine in meetings and love the hallway talk, you will suffer in remote work. If you already juggle multiple dependencies in your life (small children and/or in school, elder care, other dependents

10 km Sports and 50 km Eco range is a no go. Plus they explicitly deny carbon fiber bikes, bikes with suspension, and tire choice is rather limited. You could've invested in a decent trekking bike with a standard motor instead, at leas

There's also another approach: Not all PRs should introduce new, functioning features or complete rewrites. Thus you can just introduce a handful of functions, some of the functionality behind a feature flag, a new db schema... and the

I see references to Pascal intensifying these days. Something like "Sorry I didn't have time to make it shorter". Producing massive changes in a codebase has never been impressive. LoC has always been a bad measure of progres

Hart daran zu arbeiten, besser zu werden, führt nicht immer zu linearen Fortschritten. See, I didn't need to write in German, but you instantly understand my point better. Gleich und gleich gesellt sich gern, that's also true when

I miss speaking my native language, too, but English is what I take as common ground. As an adult, I can never hope to compete on native German fluency with someone who's born and raised in Germany to educated German parents. That&#x27

Comfort of native language is undeniable, that's not even close to my point. Of course you would be kind and use appropriate local language whenever you can. It is that native fluency cannot be matched really as someone who learns the

This. The landing story is uncharacteristically soft, surrounded by English speaking colleagues in an international company. On average, you'd find that Germans tend to grow weary speaking in English sooner and almost press you to spea

Writing code is cheap. Coming up with a plan to stay updated on specs and verification are not so cheap, and you need more attention there than ever, because an LLM will take your half-assed spec and claim victory as it prints linted code t
