Same, I like the general idea of that post. But the structure and verbosity made it such that I wouldn't want to share it with others.

I'd really like to read the Post Mortem doc for this. I'm still shocked how they allowed this to happen in production.

I got an ad recently on chatgpt for asking a question regarding bleach. The recommended product in the answer wasn't the same as the ad though. Ad was also at the bottom. Wondering…

Looks like Github actions are having an outage again: https://www.githubstatus.com/ We already use blacksmith to not use Github Runners. Highly recommend it if you haven't tried it…

I wonder if GH charges for the runners during their downtime. Last week lot of them would retry multiple times and then fail.

Most of the folks that are talking about this are the ones who work independently and work on greenfield projects (especially tooling related). The cost of making a mistake there i…

Cursor is an IDE.

Pachinko has been one of my favorite reads for a long time. If you enjoyed that, you'll also like Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

First, allow anyone to sign up for the blue check mark for $8. Verified accounts loses its value and Twitter gets flooded with fake accounts and foreign run accounts. Now, try to f…

From what I've learned, be as explicit as possible when users enter dates. We had to change our date of birth field in the user sign-up to three separate "Month Name","Day" and "Ye…

Funny since they have a tender offer that hits their accounts on Oct 7.

I don't think they meant desktops in the literal sense. Laptop with/without monitors is effectively considered desktop now (compared to mobile web/apps).

A lot of folks took the bet on CloudKitchens because of Travis. Even after raising $850m, CloudKitchens has never ran liquidation event for employees afaik. I wonder how they attra…

My experience has been quite different. With Cursor/Claude code, I've ended up writing full fledge solutions (running cli/web servers with loggers and unit tests for each functiona…

Definitely not insane. Ironic is the correct term. The field is evolving, a lot of these companies talk about replacing outdated practices using AI. Asking software engineers to no…

It's insane how many of these new "AI" companies don't let you use AI or even your own IDE for coding interviews. And most questions from such companies are LC type problems so the…

You're absolutely right! The degraded model quality finally pushed me to stop paying for the max plan. Still on the Pro for now.

It's funny that the MIT paper HN is trending higher than this post, so it propped up before I read this article.

I don't believe they did. This acquisition was by Flipkart, the poster child startup in India, who had a very high bar for hiring. They wanted to interview the non-founders to make…

I went through an acquisition very early in my career, and for the longest time I believed it was the best outcome for everyone. Over time, I realized that my naive belief was pure…

Yep, didn't intend to downplay your claims. Would love to see a video in action to learn more.

>> “commit everything in logical chunks” and Claude handles the entire flow—staging changes, writing meaningful commit messages, pushing, opening PRs, watching CI, and fixing any C…

Surprised they didn't answer if they tried using AlphaEvolve to improve AlphaEvolve!
