Not OP, but I assume he means the Boris Cherny, the guy who made Claude code and is a micro-celebrity in certain developer circles now because of it.

I’m sorry, but so few of these urban environments are affordable with good schools. I lived in Philadelphia and we chose to leave when our son was young because the schools generally aren’t good (most don’t even have libraries, but this is

This is so interesting to me, I frequently experience compaction on long running features and still find Claude is better than starting with fully fresh prompts. Every dev seems to use these tools differently.

I just want to say, thank you for writing these every year, particularly with so much transparency into your life, finances, and feelings. I can’t believe I’ve been reading these now for 8 years. Best of luck with the book!

I’ve been following you on X since your account was randomly shown to me. Your story is really cool, but also is your product. I’m working on my own LLM context problem as a side project (in a completely different space), but this could rea

I lived in Raleigh and then Charlotte about a decade ago and can’t picture living in those places without a car. That said, I may be out of date on what it’s like there now. Would you mind sharing what city you live in? If not, no worries,

I appreciate the suggestions, thank you. I actually grew up in Ohio and know the cities there well. They’re just too small and public transit leaves a lot to be desired. To me, there’s just something different about the cities that got big

I currently work at a company who is primarily writing in Scala. I really like Scala but assume my next role won’t be in that. Are my two best options Rust and Java if I want to keep some of the typing, functional style, and pattern matchin

Not OP, but that’s really neat. What’s your process for that? What IDE for the coding? Is C# required? What software for the art?

Sorry to hijack this thread a bit, but I currently work at a Scala shop and have grown to like writing it. I worked at Clojure heavy place previously. This tool looks neat. Has anyone at the senior level recently moved on from Scala to othe

Without more context, it kind of just feels like signaling that the founders can tout to peers and investors. So the the benefit is accreted in a prestige and respect way, now actual development. Not saying I agree with the practice or the

I find the “it’s not fair to service workers” incredibly unconvincing. There’s lots of things that tech workers get that service workers don’t. Better pay, better flexibility with vacations, control over schedules, probably better insurance

Honestly, I moved to the suburbs and hate it with a passion. I miss density, I miss city noise, and I miss the unquantifiable energy I get from a city. This thread has been an interesting read, city and non-city people literally like what t

I’ve done this too as someone diagnosed with a lot of daytime sleepiness. Any worry about longterm effects of nicotine? I’ve tried to find good studies online but most center around smoking, not the gum or pure nicotine.

I’ve had two sleep studies. I have once been diagnosed with type 2 narcolepsy and then later as my sleep hygiene improved that was changed to idiopathic hypersomnia. I don’t have sleep apnea. At any time I call basically fall asleep within
