It feels like systems like the Maturita' final multi-day exam in Italy do a pretty good job at providing students with a standardized, state-supervised process for demonstrating on…

"few applicants, most pretty good" was true for us as well when hiring Haskell developers at Freckle ( https://tech.freckle.com/ ) - in some ways it was scary: we're away from the …

Came here to see how it performs against Luna. Would love to see how they compare on specific types of tasks.

I enjoyed this magazine and subscribed to it for a while, but I wish there was a US-centered version of it for those of us on this side of the pond.

Really hoping that all of the attention you're bringing to the longitudinal sloppification of codebases makes it back to the labs and creates some pressure to improve that trait of…

Greg Puciato's Fuck Content album was expressing a similar sentiment: https://gregpuciato.bandcamp.com/album/fuck-content

Do you happen to have any links that document this? I haven't been able to confirm.

I took a swing at bringing this into Handy.computer if anybody's interested: https://github.com/cjpais/Handy/discussions/1031 . Looks like there has been past demand for someone to…

Would this end up replacing the default iOS keyboard dictation functionality in iOS 27?

Reminiscent of the Vibecession analysis done by Scott Alexander a few months ago: https://open.substack.com/pub/astralcodexten/p/vibecession-m... - may be good supplemental reading…

Good read. I would love to see a breakdown of what exactly these businesses do, see if there are any trends here.

Oh, and thanks for writing Game Programming Patterns. That was a great resource.

Very relatable. I still recall when our team at Microsoft, about 20 years ago, had a dedicated "build engineer" who would be given the task to create a new branch for the product. …

Couldn't agree more. I wonder why the company stalled as much as it did. To be fair they've been around for three decades, maybe it's just hard to keep momentum for that long, espe…

Thank you! It was a bit of culture shock for me when I first experienced it, coming from the world of business software, and I figured others would find it equally fascinating to l…

We had to use Perforce (Helix Core Cloud) at my last game studio, and it is the de facto industry standard that most of your creative staff is already familiar with. The programmer…

Looking forward to reading this. Still have a signed copy of The Lean Startup from an event in Seattle from 15 years ago. The book had a big part in pushing me towards doing my own…

I own two Glove80s, but for me the ultimate split keyboard with a thumb cluster was the Dygma Defy, of which I now own a pair as well. Couldn't recommend it enough. https://dygma.c…

Curious what those two hours would entail!

> Another reason is that on the supply side, nobody wants to sign up to do a bunch of free work just to be rejected. If you just put up work, the candidates incur all the risk, mea…

Author here. A collection of personal experiences of working with business co-founders and CEOs as an early stage CTO in the Bay Area VC-backed world. Hope it's useful to others in…

This is great stuff, walking the reader through your thought process was helpful for me as a developer to grok why yolobox was designed this way. I ended up landing in the "just ma…
