I mean clearly she was doing a bad job. I’m shocked this was even a position there.

Over here in the UK at the moment you can. They’ve recently made huge changes to a lot of chocolate products in the space of a year or two. Especially cadburys which is now just at…

You’re right. I apologise

Agents are effectively a full McDonalds kitchen, yes. ...and yes, I know you don't mean that. I just disagree.

I used to work at a company that did in-person pair review. I wasn’t an engineer there but the engineers all legitimately enjoyed the process. They hired very capable people as a d…

But LLM usage isn’t equivalent to power steering, it’s what a full kitchen is to a microwave. You can sure put effort into a microwave meal but it’ll always work against you and mu…

This is entirely my point. Observing reality, you can see how little impact any of this is truly having. Decision making, communication and alignment is not helped at all by LLMs, …

It tends to be when the training data wanders into their area of expertise temporarily and they go “OMG, they hype is real. I was so wrong” and then a few releases later they’re on…

Thing is. You can find an extremely similar paragraph written about Claude 4.x or some equivalent gpt. And simultaneously, many people expressing their frustration and the shortcom…

Will? They already have.

Extremely high. Or at least several partial solutions that can be smooshed together. LLMs really do still just reassemble things in their training data. There’s just a lot of it no…

I disagree. It's still extremely possible to "google whack" an LLM on a topic with little publicly available information. If you ask questions about APIs in desktop software, say s…

I also think it's universal. When talking about this IRL I always say: "If one teenager works hard and saves for a few years to buy themselves a car and another has theirs bought f…

I don't think it inherently devalues it. But the mediocre baseline for it and how much it entices you to allow it to just spit out that mediocrity takes discipline I don't think ev…

Didn't see this reply before adding my own. Yes, I think we're in agreement.

I think this is just my choice of wording, friction as a means of slowing down and thinking something through is useful. Friction isn't just a roadblock. For all the times you want…

A drum I've been banging increasingly often recently is that having friction and time to work ideas over in your mind adds huge amounts of value. Vibe coded projects have this very…

No, that's not what this analogy is about. At all. See, table saws are dangerous. Famously so. One of, if not the most dangerous tools available to the general public. They spin qu…

To use your analogy again, it's kind of like the shop boss buying everyone a table saw and then saying "The best way to use the table saw is just experiment with it, it's the faste…

That’s why I said “effectively run as” rather than is . Cathedral does make contribution to software less open, that’s kind of its entire deal and what I’m talking about here. It d…

I found chezmoi kind of annoying and then just moved to symlinks and a fossil repo. Low tech and low drama

Reports of Ruby slowness are often exaggerated. Around the time GH was built that was certainly true, but in the ways that matter Ruby is more than fast enough nowadays, even at sc…

Yes, standard rails. Rails does not ship with components out of the box and the most prominent component system for rails was built and is maintained by GitHub. They have been movi…

In the first beta they've actually made aspects of it worse with more instances of the glass effect than before. It's still very distracting even with the slider all the way over t…

I think it's just gemini in a dress
