Maybe a tangent, but I've gotten a lot of the joy back with 3D printing. You can just describe something, and Astra can model it in CAD extremely well. It usually takes a few iterations, and then you can just print it. I found that bef

I still make time to write code by hand. But I think it's really about finding the right abstraction. As a staff or principle engineer in the beforetimes, I also didn't understand most of the code being written by the org. I dove

I don't know. We've managed to avoid most of this, I think. We have tech debt, but it feels more like regular tech debt than sloppy engineering practices. What's worked for us: - Very strict linting, type checking, and so on.

It's my own ignorance speaking, but is this as true in math? I could see this being a problem for programs where you have few, if any, real axioms and the axioms themselves change. But if we're talking math, the axioms should be f

What's sad is that that AI could make this better. Good food photography is hard. Here's a low effort pass of the photo that they shared https://chatgpt.com/s/m_6a61faba10188191a4991f3042e640c3 which I don&#x

For what it's worth, I really enjoy superpowers. In particular, it does a great job with TDD that stops the model from jumping to conclusions, and I've been able to get it, even with Opus, to execute on much longer specs quite wel

In addition to what other people have said, I've taken some time to do leetcode questions lately - both architecture ones and coding ones. I'm not looking for a job by any stretch, but the practice and forcing a detailed zoom in h

Nothing but respect for the GitHub team - they're at the center of it all. Can't imagine how their traffic looks these days. They should raise their prices!

I love how this is both hilarious and extremely well made. Great job! And I'm gonna be honest, I kind of want to use a few of these components for real (the ASCII art is fantastic).

This will be really powerful for voice. Being able to reason makes LLM so much smarter but with voice your latency budget is so tight that you can't spare the time typically.

I really love using AI to code but more and more I wonder ... Are things really that different? So I guess I'm the business as usual type. I think on the frontend side we're going to see a lot more scope for teams. On a backend in

I'm also a lifelong vim user. I guess what I'm getting at is that I find the journey even more engaging now. I think I'm a good programmer. I've worked at great companies. I was competitive in ACM contests and Top Coder.

I get to spend more time working on the things I enjoy. For example, data modeling and workflow orchestration, and building product to solve customer problems. And really, that comes down to spending a lot of my time just thinking really ha

I honestly don't get it - how isn't everyone having a blast with AI? Every one of those side projects you never had time for you can build in a weekend. You can explore five ideas at once. You can do big refactors/cleanups yo

More of a meta question, but how are people staying on top of the firehose of new AI tools coming out left and right? Personally I'd love a curated list of a handful of tools each week with more concrete examples/deep dives (e.g.

People are figuring it out. Cars are broadly useful, but there's nuance to how to maintain then, use them will in different terrains and weather, etc.

I feel so many of these. LOL @ GitHub endorse-ish, more -ish every day now. Overall though seems like a pretty good hit rate. Surprised to see datadog as a regret - it is expensive but it's been enormously useful for us. Though we don&

Really neat! And great website! As I've been looking at this problem from a different angle, I wonder how much execution and planning should be coupled. Once we have specs in GitHub, for example, it feels like we can use whatever tool
