I think there is now so much passive investing that wall street and tech bros are gaming it, and it's no longer based in reality (fundamentals). I mean Elon's deal to get SPCX short listed with NASDAQ was directly targeted at 401(

Yes, it's a very simple concept IMO. Without API access or at least CSV import / export integration w/ a brokerage for automation I don't think I'd use it. I could have an agent use the Web UI on my behalf, but ho

Yeah I couldn't figure that out with Questrade (Canada). It's a pretty new feature, but I think it's great, so I hope they expand their baseline indexes. I was considering writing a tool that simply follows any index you choo

I was able to create a custom index based on the top 500 that I stripped the big AI stocks from (shovels too). Then I added decent chunks of international, small cap, and treasury ETFs to it. I have no illusions that I can time a bubble, bu

pnpm is generally safer and had the age delay much sooner than npm as well.

At this point, I'm not sure anyone should still be using npm.

The entire Google Workspace division is basically Microsoft. I assume they are making a lot of money in order to support their continued disfunction.

The way I frame it is like the space race (except probably more consequential). China is collaborating with and encouraging their industry, definitely leaning into the state sponsored NASA route, while the United States fully embraced minti

Yeah I found 4.7 and 4.8 to be downgrades from 4.6. I don't know if it was the model or just Anthropic's scaling issues though TBH. I found working with the Claude Code max (20x) sub would work awesome in between new models. A wee

If you talk to people about the things that get you fired up then you might meet other people who also get fired up about these things, and before you know it, one of you is running for office and / or you are all getting involved loca

I just finished an LLM assisted Rust rewrite of a production project after a couple months. It's around 150k LOC, mostly Rust, excluding generated code and tests. Around 200k if I include tests. I'm also now starting to extract &#

That's true and interesting. Personally I've been rebuilding an application in Rust, learning Rust at the same time and leaning heavily on AI agents for both the building, but also the learning. I've been at it for a few mont

Maybe famous last words, but I'm not buying the hype that the "clankers" will take over. I suspect reality will catch up soon and we'll be left with a set of pretty powerful but still limited tools. I see no evidence to

100% this is what I've done. I sucked it up and adapted myself to the tool (agents) by having as many implicit guardrails (static typing, functional, no nulls, great linting) and then layering on explicit guardrails (TDD) on top. I als

Sure, but then you need to worry about other things, like Unity a few years ago with their "Runtime Fee" debacle.

Good to know. I built https://github.com/pairshaped/hypertea to get some of Elm's safety in typescript while being easy for LLMs to use (this is basically just hyperapp in TS, with added elm-like guardrails). Mayb

I was already working with elm (have been since Signals) and I was very disappointed in what agents (CC) produced. In contrast, I was pleased with the Rust code they produced.
