One factor in favor of the use of LLM as a learning tool is the poor quality of documentation. It seems we've forgotten how to write usable explanations that help readers to build a coherent model of the topic at hand.

The idea of tensors as "a matrix of numbers" or the example of a cube with vectors on every face never clicked for me. It was this (NASA paper)[ https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/Numbers/Math/doc

Math and Physics equations are full of beauty capable of transmit the same joy as poetry. The main difficulty is that they require more study. For me, looking at Maxwell equations is a source of pleasure. Also, after improving my understand

My same thoughts. The inventors of that revolutionary toggle button should all be tied to the South side of an ass walking towards the North.

The alternative, using general programming languages, is a terrible idea. The last thing I want to do when dealing with a domain specific configuration is trying to figure the meaning out of hundreds of poorly written, badly abstracted, tot

For one moment I thought this was the equivalent of SQLite for EdgeDB and the idea made me very happy.

Another evidence is to ask GPT for a link with a reference for the answers it gives: it'll generate them instead of copying them.

May I suggest you to take another look at refactoring? I think that if you love unit testing and debugging, you probably would love refactoring too. I like that I don't have to worry to find the perfect name for my functions and method

Although I sympathise with the sentiment, that's just half of the story. Today, I can deploy a high available cluster in minutes using any cloud technology + kubernetes and my favourite web framework. True, I need to learn half dozen o

(The C4 model)[ https://c4model.com/ ] is a nice way to capture (IMO) the most important characteristics of a system, and you can learn it in half an hour. Optionally, you can add state transition and sequence diagrams for se

asdf is very nice, with the exception of its interface. You have `asdf <context> <command>`, `asdf <command> <package>` for others. It's actively hostile for memorisation.

Mine was that I had forgotten to take a class or that the records were lost and I had to redo the last years of college. It was a nightmare I had even a decade after getting my degree.

I've been reading The Courage To Be Disliked” about Adler's theories, and it's very interesting. According to him, we all have feelings of inferiority. It's normal and could even be healthy, it'll help us to improve

GitOps not necessarily means developers should define every aspect of it. In my current work, SRE uses gitops and they are the main contributors to most repositories. But things like creating an AWS ECR repo for a new project or creating k8

No. In my current company k8s + helm + istio + argocd + good support from SRE/infra team has made things pleasurable. Seniors introduce the complexities of the system to juniors in a controlled paced way. One thing I would change is to

https://www.libelektra.org/home is an attempt to bring a registry to linux. It doesn't have the problems of its windows equivalent. I wish this project was more popular.

The thing that helped me the most to design maintainable systems was the use of Clean Architecture. In particular, the [Cosmic Python Book]( https://www.cosmicpython.com/ ), which offers practical examples on how to implement

My interpretation of UT has evolved after I began using Clean Architecture. My original approach was to test functions and methods, which had as a consequence the calcification of the code: changes were painful because they broke a lot of t

The difference I see is that before, when they had to use practical effects, they had a more earnest appreciation of their limitations. The toy planes and ships in old movies appeared only for a few seconds since they knew they didn't

I think it's important to keep a consistent style in a repository. Ideally, the style should be kept _among_ repositories too, but given that different people like different thing, allowing them to explore the pros and cons might be a

Thank you very much for sharing this. In more of one occasion I've asked myself this exact question, even if for only as a thought experiment.

I've always thought that AWS conceptual model and implementation is a big mess. Root accounts different from other account, big numbers & ARNs exposed to the user, meaningless names for services, multiple names for same concepts (d
