CC got my dev env set up and running in 20 min. It had to fix my local node setup and a ton of other dependencies. A junior dev cannot do that in 20 days (unless they just asked CC to do it)

That's not even remotely close to true anymore. Agents are far better than any intern or junior developer.

Agents can write good code. If you don't like the way that they write code, tell them to write it differently. Do that until you think the code is good.

This is goddamn terrible advice. You’re rolling a dice to see if the great work ends up making it. Have we not learned the lesson of bell labs? 90% of the time the great work doesn’t make it by itself. It takes leadership to carve a path fo

You can prompt the model to dump all of the memory into a text file and import that. In the onboarding flow, I can ask you, "Do you use another LLM?" If so, give it this prompt and then give me the memory file that outputs.

Presumably, the percentage of taxation is a function of the price of the item? You can have a different curve or base rate for different harmonization codes.

When I was in my early 20s I used to think I was very clever for pointing out apparent hypocrisies. Now I realize how easily that devolves into “you are imperfect therefore you may never criticize anything” Americans can never call out huma

You seem to discount that the yappers are good and convincing writers as well

That’s beside the point. It wouldn’t help shaq or any of those big men hit free throws. They have no problems with mechanics.

I hate this analogy. NBA players can all hit 90% of their free throws shooting overhand too. Just some of them are much worse at handling the pressure and pace change of the situation in a game context.

there's this things that happens where blog boys love to say Big Important Stuff (that isn't true) and in the 1% chance that it becomes true they point back on it and say "I am a goddamned genius" and if it hits the 99%

This doesn’t sound very much like like OST beyond the general concept of caring about problems to me

I don’t understand how you can make this statement in the midst of chatGPT being the fastest growing consumer app in history.

Yeah it’s a lot of projection.

Make lots of predictions and write down your thought process (seriously write them down!) once the result is in, analyze whether you were right. Were you right for the right reasons? Were you wrong but had the right thought process mostly?

Sometimes it’s fun. Especially if you have nothing better to do. When I was 25 I worked crazy hours (12h a day easy) because I loved what I was doing, I was learning at a super high rate, and I still had enough time to go on dates/out

Anyone who talks about 996 as a flex clearly has too much time on their hands. Why aren’t you busy working?

Single digit percentage, like I said. Often low single digits

Do it responsibly then?

by thenanyu 1y ago
VCs generally expect some small single digit % of their companies to succeed and return the fund If 90% of the companies fail or are outright fraudulent it doesn’t really matter

Releasing it to users does not take a long time. Randomly select 5% of your user base and give them the feature. If your development process was mature, this would be a button you could push in your deployment env.

The only reason requirements need to be sorted out is because development effort is perceived to be expensive. If you reduce the development effort significantly, then you can just build it instead of talking about building it.

The best way to know if you would like a new restaurant or experience is to actually try it. We rely on reviews and maps and directories because trying it is too costly. If trying it wasn't costly, we would just try it instead of relyi

Trying things and changing if it doesn’t work is the only way I know how to build software. What would you do? Don’t change?
