    I had this exact idea and I've described it to colleagues before. Fun to see parallel evolution. It feels like a simple concept that should already exist, so I'm surprised it's not…

    LLMs make mediocre engineers into slightly less mediocre engineers, and non-engineers into below mediocre engineers. They do nothing above the median. I've tried dozens of times to…

    Love the expanded C API support! Also those performance improvements are massive! Pushing through filters and the streaming optimization for fetchone() is great! This makes it more…

    Make a cap on the value of house. What do people need $100 million stupid ugly houses for anyway. None of these billionaires have good taste anyway.

    Adding a way to query the path at the current node would let you skip out on doing stuff like keeping track of `in_section`. I wonder if the `enter|exit ...` syntax might be too li…

    Make an exemption for a primary residence. Everything else can go. Stop letting people hoard wealth like dragons.

    I get nervous reading when people write exceptions and name "good" CEOs or "good" celebrities. Lots of skeletons come out later. I don't like to put people on a pedestal, especiall…

    As someone who stopped getting involved in blockchain "tech" 12 years ago because of the prevalence of scams and bad actors and lack of interesting tech beyond the merkle tree, wha…

    I wrote a similar snapshot system for our deterministic trading engine. It's hard to imagine a system that doesn't do that unless you actually enforce every single event in your lo…

    I only realized after leaving the US how insanely slow transfers are there. In Hong Kong, transfers are basically instant. In Japan they often finish within 10 minutes. HSBC HK's d…

    I want to apologize. I just lashed out from my past bad experience. You don't really deserve it, and you're right, it could just open up a discussion about writing an alternative f…

    How is "Now one for egui, please" not a request? Are you suggesting that was just a wish you're putting out into the universe hoping someone fulfills it? "please" is a word you use…
