Maybe it’s not a developer at all, and a couple of open claws doing random app things…

I believe the article is written from a lisp point of view where it interactivity is inspecting and modifying the application itself while it is running. It’s assuming that the software has already been written with no existing concurrency

It is just zipped xml, but to do a search and replace while retaining document structure is very very complicated, and I’m struggling to think of how to combine sed and awk to achieve it.

I'm confused - it feels like orchestration tools or how to organise agents is one of the most frequently discussed topics? When I posted this comment there were 4 posts on the front page about orchestration, and another 3 on the second

I think this is an excellent start! I have a few questions/comments. - the site said it would be worked on collaboratively, but I couldn't find a way to do that? I interpreted that to mean multiple people woroking on it together

It’s interesting eh, it’s a wonderfully straightforward tool to use, but it’s scary. My theory is that those courses aren’t selling you on how to use obsidian, but are instead selling “how do I organise knowledge and information. Oh btw we’

I found all the themes interesting, but "the rigor has to go somewhere" and "the enterprise reality check" resonated. I was thinking about how my build of software has changed in the past 25 years, and while it feels the

It's nape-js https://newkrok.github.io/nape-js/index.html While the gummy geometry one is a little twitchy, but most all the other demos were very stable, much more than most other 2d solvers I've seen.

All true, but also depends on jurisdiction the product is operating in For example, in Australia any consumer has rights around products and services they purchased regardless of the terms agreed to during sale. If a business offered 99% up

I’m confused - is it the actual source code, or minified/bundled code? I don’t think those two are the same thing - unless of course you write your code minified. That would be really impressive.

One of the things I miss most about the Amiga workbench is variable size icons. I love them, and miss them That giant battletech icon before you play that fantastic turn based hexagonal game, or the Amos basic icon, there was just so much o

Thank you for writing and sharing that. It's one of the simplest and sane explanations I've seen. How did discussions go with accountants separating the debits/credits into being a presentation issue?

Accounts (in the accounting sense) are unitless, and refer to whatever meaning we ascribe to them, so we can transfer value from $ to shares, or USD to GBP or whatever. Lalit describes this I think really well in his article https:/&#

I love that, thank you for sharing. Would you consider a follow up blog post about how you structure and approach your monthly finance sessions? I understand that it would be well outside of your topics of software engineering, performance

I guess it depends on the complexity of ones personal finances? The author had multiple currencies, investments, and who knows what else. I ran a small business for a while, and I would draw a parallel to that. Once a family's finances

Thank you for taking the time to reply - thank you! I have question on a more personal front - please feel no obligation to reply. What impact has having such clear visibility into your accounts had on your relationship with your wife? It f

I must have read half a dozen intro-to-accounting books, and it never ever clicked for me. I understood the concepts, the benefits, but it just felt 'wrong'. It wasn't wrong of course, there is so much history, ingenuity and

I really enjoyed reading this, and it is inspirational as it is something I have wanted to do for a long time. And as a software developer, it really appeals to me. How do you think it compares time-wise to using existing accounting softwa

The main one I could think of was maximising 3D printer utilisation, I.e if filling your print volume was something you wanted to optimise for.

That is a really interesting investigation, but I am curious - how did the author go about evaluating whether or not was following a process? How did they measure success / failure ? But a fascinating experiment and something I’ll try

With numbers like, if it scares customers a good strategy is to implement the filtering very gradually over time, over 6 months or a year. The fall off is way less scary, and it can be described as improving bot filtering. It’s not as hones

The article was fascinating, but the part I didn't see was... what was the motive? Assuming the article paints an accurate picture of what was going on... why was it going on? Is it solely because he runs a company in the same competi
