80% of my day to day job has never been pumping out lots of code. it is a complicated career is it? we do a lot of alignment, design and thinking. i can't even agree the idea of outsourcing thinking, i think AI is very good at helping

Firstly - Greetings! It’s so rare to see a Clojure person in the wild! and secondly, I really resonated with this! it feels like we, computer programmer, typically overthink too much to begin with, and then LLMs come along and actually help

i argue that most ideas aren't necessary novel, so stealing idea isn't necessary bad.... e.g. i don't think google search was entirely novel, but was well executed. honestly - meta has built quite a lot of cool things, but c-

here's my take - the hardest part isn't doing more computer programming, it is context switching between technical and sales. It has been done, so it is possible, but it is very difficult as people said. very few computer program

producing code is just part of the programming, albite a very important part. from my very limited exp, i say programming is more about ...reasoning about behavior, managing complexity, making tradeoffs, handling failure, and building thing

The reliability, speed and internet connectivity makes local first more appealing. Honestly - i host my own webpage, file server, and some compute locally.

i say this (OC) is early, but directionally right. we can see how people are enthusiastic about local ai infra and we can all understand the idea of democratizing compute. though it might never happen.
