You just need good compaction and a memory system with decent project layout and documentation. If you don't have that 1M tokens won't really save you either.

Very eager to read through your code! I read the first version and incorporated several of its ideas into our own internal elixir agent framework. (We make use of your ReqLLM package, thanks much for that!) Congrats on the release!

Most of the team uses: - Claude Code + worktrees (manual via small shell script) - A root guardrails directory with a README to direct the agent where to look for applicable rule files (we have a monorepo of python etls and elixir applicati

Yet another developer who is too full of themselves to admit that they have no idea how to use LLMs for development. There's an arrogance that can set in when you get to be more senior and unless you're capable of force feeding yo

Another way to look at this is that using LLMs and agents in your business function takes a while to master. It's a skill and it's a good move to push teams to incorporate AI into their workflows before immediately reaching for a

I live in Manhattan with a kid and I love not needing a car. I walk my daughter to school and I walk to work from there. It's great.

Funny. I lived in Seattle for 5 years before I moved to Sydney, where I lived for 5 years. That was a different era though, tech wasn't the industry it is now and the internet still felt new. I moved down in 2003 and my American accent

The Kiwis too have their own "invented the airplane" guy (Pearse?) Seems a lot was happening at that point in history.

It's more expensive because the tax treatment is better. You really have no idea what you're talking about.

If a city could grow economically by simply building more housing that would be quite the discovery. A perpetual motion machine!

What a weird argument. There are many, many apartments in New York that people want to live in so badly that they'll pay millions upon millions of dollars to do so.

If you've not read Absurdistan or Lake Success or any of Shteyngart's other novels, then you really should. He's one of our best living authors.

Check out Robert Anton Wilson (The Illuminatus Trilogy), you're in for a treat -- the references above were to Discordianism * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illuminatus!_Trilogy * https://en.wikiped

1. You certainly need to know SQL 2. Composition is very different than concatenation and the differences become apparent as a project increases in complexity 3. I'd recommend checking out the current SOTA, especially with kysely (or E

I've been at it for a bit over 25 years as well and have worked on everything from telco billing projects to complex consumer applications. Query builders and ORMs are not the same thing, and it's odd that you conflate them. The p

Slonik does _not_ make it possible (let alone trivial) to write composable queries. You're just doing string concatenation and string concatenation will bite you when things get complex enough. There is also a big difference between an

I'm using kysely with a database that has quite a few complex functions, etc. Lots of queries that require CTEs and so on. It's fantastic. Type safety with the codegen is amazing and catches a tremendous amount of simple bugs and

By the time they break them up search will be less relevant than ever. Barn door/horse, etc.

Had a flashback to twenty odd years ago in Sydney when there weren't enough Rubyists to get a reservation at the pub for a meetup so we had to team up with the Smalltalk guys. Ahhh, different times.

I am not convinced by the utility in this case. I'm well aware of low code and no code problems, but I am less convinced that the same principles apply to LLM code generation. By all means use some formal language to describe LLM capab

Software specification documents will, as they say, rise in status. The kind of specification outlined in this article misses the mark–why would we use anything but actual natural language? That said, there will be real returns to structur

I have issues with that as well, started taking magnesium (both normal, elemental magnesium and magnesium l-threonate) and it's made a world of difference for me.

The sales pitch the manufacturers give is that L-Threonate is better at getting through the blood/brain barrier so it is more effective for stuff like sleep. I do notice a difference between that and when I just take Magnesium Chloride

Tangental but as someone who used to have sleep issues but has no intention of ditching coffee, taking Magnesium L-Threonate has utterly transformed the quality of my sleep. Used to wake up a ton in the night, take forever to get to sleep,

People are saying One Medical isn't great but it's by far the best experience I've had with health care. Good comms, easy to get visits, walk-ins for bloodwork etc etc. It's just super convenient. I'm in NYC and may

Such a fantastic book. One of the most interesting novels I've ever read, from a structural point of view, not to mention it's extremely entertaining. I've got a signed first edition which I'm pretty proud of. With Poor

Thanks for the feedback! Bummer about the DALL-E thing, it does seem to be hit and miss. It's always interesting to see where prompts start to fall apart. One thing I find neat about this bot/convo format is that since it's s
