I find it's a huge boost for my day-to-day work. If you work on architecture and Claude docs, then you can essentially just have it fill in the gaps. Work then mostly becomes a mat…

I'm from NZ (mostly european but part Maori heritage) and have had people talk to me in foreign languages, ask me in the supermarket if I'm from Spain (weird), give me random disco…

13/18 Maybe growing up in NZ and hanging out a bit with people from different cultures helps.

> I've just watched two major projects fail This is an opportunity. You can have a good long career consulting/contracting for these types of companies.

It's the type of thing you'd be exposed to in a computer science degree - operating systems / compilers. Always room to learn in software :)

Why would you shrink the team rather than become 20x more productive as a whole?

I'm at the lower end in the same way that a junior dev is at the lower end of the salary band. This is to be expected for anyone just starting out. You're assuming that you need pr…

Yes, I might consider doing this but need to consistently feel confident doing it manually first. I did set up a docker instance to connect to my broker, so perhaps a goal for this…

Yeah, copy paste for non-agentic workflows. I'm keeping things extremely simple.

Exactly, copy paste related code and files. Give it some background ontext on what it is you're doing and then tell it what you'd like it to do.

Statistically speaking, we typically end up with a bell curve right? So who's on the ends of the bell curve?

I've seen people on tiktok that exclusively trade options. It's not something I've looked into but my take after 6 months is that you basically find an approach that works for you,…

Yes generally speaking, statistically most people will not beat the index. Does it follow then that no-one is beating the index consistently? Of course there are people who are not…

You can achieve a lot on the $30 plan. I use Claude every day for everything, it's amazing value for money. Give it a specific task with the context it needs, that's what I find wo…

Stock trading can be quite lucrative if it's a good match. Have a look at Qullamaggie on YouTube. > Edit, I say this as someone that has been learning to trade the last 6 months. T…

If you're into the gym and cooking, consider getting a cast iron frying pan. Not only great for cooking, but it can also help with wrist strength - you may need to ease into liftin…

Awesome, thanks for that! That does confirm some of my suspicions... He lives just a few hours from me as well.

Anyone care to give their take on Quantum Computing? Does it have practical application? Are we actually progressing towards something or are research papers just a way to get the …

Do the rats enjoy it and if so, will the rats teach other rats how to play? This could give a whole new meaning to "the rat race"

Perhaps there are some people like you say that are grandiose narcissists and ALSO some people that are genuinely smarter than most others in the room and can see the obvious throu…

I wish we could pin down not only the model but also the way the UI works as well. Last week Claude seemed to have a shift in the way it works. The way it summarises and outputs it…

He's probably right that no-one else can do what he can, because competent Devs aren't going to work for a company that operates like this. If you have to build something because "…

Given their names I'd say they're too busy optimising primes...

On sounds - as a non autistic person but as someone with a good "audio memory", music and sounds especially in an office can absolutely get on my nerves. It's mostly the repetitive…
