The 92 % stat looks really interesting! It’s rarely the spectacular crash that knocks a cluster over. Instead, the “harmless” retry leaks state until everything breaks at 2 a.m on one fateful Friday. Evidently, we should budget more enginee

Every polished template looks the same, but each handrolled site is weird in its own way. I’ll happily take wabi-sabi HTML for personal projects over yet another Tailwind landing page!

LLMs are amazing at writing code and terrible at owning it. Every line you accept without understanding is borrowed comprehension, which you’ll repay during maintenance with high interest. It feels like free velocity. But it's probably

Interesting parallel, but as it is packaged today - "AI" looks much lighter on technical customization than quant. What can you really meaningfully change on the large models today? a bit of RAG, some prompting - sure. But that so
