two stories. fun one first. I once did a coding interview entirely in bash. and the poor software engineer giving the interview did not have that as a skillset. so he was deeply confused when I spent like 70% of the time building a massiv

What's amazing to me is that even with prime free shipping in the US. NOTHING has ever beaten USPS for small shipping. And the conservatives are always going off about it not being profitable for the USPS... but like... that subsidize

AI to me is very dangerous. And we're throwing it into mission critical shit with reckless abandon. And the operative word there is RECKLESS. It's non deterministic by its nature. Without good frameworks and safeguards it'

Apparently you never worked with Atlassian. They have active issue tickets that are highest priority and have been open for 20 years. That's not hyperbole. Actually 20 years.

I mean, there's truth on both sides here. Essentially LLMs are good at some stuff bad at others. If you don't use the tool appropriately you are going to hurt yourself. And at the moment there really isn't a very good opin

If there's one thing I have learned in 25 years of this engineering world, it's that if you are trying to solve the byzantine general's problem you are doing it wrong. Don't fight fights you can't walk away from in

it doesn't mean anything after Microsoft turned over eu government leaders emails to the US. the damage is done. trump fanning the flames and then using ham fisted threats that frankly carry no weight now... are just making it worse.

God Feynman was such an amazing teacher of complex topics. Never miss upvoting this guy. His involvement in NASA and challenger investigations specifically are also legendary. Watch more Feynman. Totally worth the time investment.
