About Darmani
As a cofounder of UpToSpeed, we are solving the problem that AI is making us 10x faster at writing code, and yet our ability to understand code remains as slow as ever
As the founder of Mirdin, I turn good software engineers into great ones by turning advanced research topics into actionable software engineering advice.

There's a few obvious suggestions -- discuss design tradeoffs with the AI extensively, make sure you understand all your code, and understand the refactorings. I think using Comman…

Most days I don't ship 20 PRs. But I think my record is 30. Three things made that possible. The first, obviously, is having Command Center. The second is that a lot of those were …

Hi Fizzadar, On the one hand, it is true that the website code was pushed 0 minutes before this announcement went up. On the other hand, I tested just now on two different phones a…

Hi egamirorrim, The basic answer is that it runs locally. If you turn telemetry off and don't use our free Gemini credits, it's trivial to verify that no traffic goes to our server…

Thanks! The final moments before this launch announcement consisted of me twiddling my thumbs while waiting for our designer to upload any version he could get ready in time that i…

In fairness, I did most of these interviews last summer, and I know some people have changed. And while I did go a fair bit outside my network to interview people, there are all so…

In honesty, that's not a bad idea, and we hadn't thought of that. It's pretty expensive to measure even for small programs. It's also more of a relative than an absolute measure, i…

And indeed, I think we're the only agentic coding environment with jj support. The most difficult code in the 1.0 release is some gymnastics to avoid the appearance of a concurrenc…

Ooh. The answer is probably more interesting and philosophical than you expected I can tell you that we do extensive testing, we figured out how to objectively measure the code qua…

Sounds like a fun life :) Have found in that roadmap things that would help me personally like making async functions dyn-compatible. Have not found the deeper stuff I thought you …

This is getting pretty funny. In this branch of the thread alone, I've seen the defenses of: (1) "Rust is fine, you're just expecting the affordances of a GC language." (2) "Rust i…

Oy. It is also a common experience that, when I struggle in Rust to use a pattern that's common in nearly every other language or find another way to achieve the same goal, people …

I respect that your experience is different. Please respect the fact that I do not understand how one can like Rust without giving up caring about modularity. I have pretty good re…

*`dyn Writer`. `impl Writer` can only be used in function parameters. This was one of the example approaches I gave. This works...at first. The problem is that, if you want to add …

Good suggestion. I think started doing that kind of thing towards the end of my days with Rust. It's been close to a year now, and don't remember how well it worked out.
