I don't think we're going to do any negative leap seconds. https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/international-ti... I think we're voting to change to a leap hour in early 20…

Crazy. I just changed the default for our entire org to Opus because people were continually unimpressed with Sonnet's abilities. It's fascinating to think how varied people's expe…

Taking a break from coding side projects and instead learning how to DJ :)

Everyone says SpaceX IPO price is too high, but it's the most interesting IPO in a long time, it's critical to the US government, and America is, frankly, addicted to gambling. I'm…

I disagree. Shipping functionality that works and users consume is all that matters. Everything else is noise. Technical debt can be viewed through this lens - it reduces the rate …

because some software engineers enjoy shipping usable software more than writing the code needed to do so?

Well, I'm commenting from a place of bias, as I'm Head of AI at our company and am in charge of rolling out agentic coding throughout the engineering org. So, bear with me a bit. W…

You get a discount for paying for a full year on Teams and Enterprise can involve contractual obligations. It's a lot of effort to get buy-in to change providers and to shift an en…

Your competition's behavior necessarily affects you unless your company has an unassailable moat. If other companies are able to tolerate larger amounts of tech debt while shipping…

Did it work? Did you buy something?

Same here!! I wonder why?

My current job has me overseeing a few teams of engineers working on ~10+ y/o legacy software systems that have not been especially well maintained. As an example, one team had a c…

I don't think anyone is questioning all the benefits of using local LLMs. Those are readily apparent. I just don't believe for an instant that they're anywhere in the same ballpark…

Typo in the first sentence of the first paragraph is oddly comforting since AI wouldn't make such a typo, heh. Typo in the first sentence of the second paragraph is sad though. C'm…

Someone's never tried to locally compile a Rust program. :)

I moved over to Linux a few months ago. Absolutely zero issues. My only thought was, "Wow. Why didn't I do this sooner?" There's nothing Windows can do to bring me back at this poi…

> You can use OpenCode programmatically, thus turning that $200/mo Claude Code account into a very cheap Opus 4.6 API service. Can you explain what you mean by this?

...is there an XKCD relevant to the fact there's always a relevant XKCD?

Just a small project to assist with some stuff at work, but trying my hand at vibe-coding a "data science playground" to try and level-up a couple of people into feeling comfortabl…

I think you're just trying to see ambiguity where it doesn't exist because the looser interpretation is beneficial to you. It totally makes sense why you'd want that outcome and I'…
