Yea, this is a serious problem but honestly it was present before LLMs. Actually knowing, deeply, how to do something was always very difficult and very time consuming. People woul…

Listening to NPR yesterday, they mentioned it’s a renters’ market in the Sunbelt [1]. Lots of new supply here in Texas and I just signed a lease recently with 2 months free in DFW.…

It’s all cycles within cycles, hopefully. If you study dynamic systems then you realize it’s cycles of good and bad, and within those cycles more smaller cycles of ephemeral good a…

I’m native speaker and I thought they were the same. Still unsure of the difference. I guess I need to study this.

I think they reversed the 2 expressions. You should use “WHERE UPPER(name) = ‘ABC’” if you want to use the index.

I really enjoyed this post quite abit, and it’s a topic that I and many developers have discussed concerning good abstractions. This isn’t directly related to the article it’s self…

I recently left a big company exactly for this reason. And the sibling post is probably right, the Dead Sea affect probably plays a huge role. I didn’t see very many people that we…
