Pretty interesting yeah if it's no effort, please share, otherwise I reckon I'll rebuild it myself some time soon :)

Interesting! I've been thinking about how you'd best teach sentence patterns for a long time, happy someone is making progress on it. I'm a bit too beginner to effectively use the …

what is your hook into such a sprint; how do you get started? Do you just prompt "so uh teach me something about linux admin" and go from there? I think this has been my biggest hu…

TLDR: I'm building an experimental open source/open data thing to collect good lecture recordings website: https://lectures.koljasam.com/ repo: github.com/koljapluemer/awesome-lect…

What does this achieve over, say, git? This is hardly a zero-trust situation, is it?

Instead of having that one god-author who has to keep maintaining everything, I think a better option may be to have the whole comprehensively community-maintained. Which opens up …

Do you have any idea what killed webrings? It seems to be simply a great idea...like...should we bring it back? Could we?

Can you elaborate what right now is in the app that goes beyond Zoom? Always some effort to get started with a new communication app, and even more so to convince others to do so. …

Very neat! Nothing to add right now, except thanks for making this :)

Variations of this are a common talking point in the self-help world, and while it's a powerful antidote against "I'm sure some day this giant thing will suddenly be easy and I'll …

It's a double standard because it's apples and oranges. Code is an abstract way of soldering cables in the correct way so the machine does a thing. Art eludes definition while aski…

Is anyone else detecting a phase shift in LLM criticism? Of course you could always find opinion pieces, blogs and nerdy forum comments that disliked AI; but it appears to me that …

If you have two modes of spending your time, one being work that you only do because you are paid for it, and the other being feeding into an addiction, the conversations you shoul…

I heard a very similar sentiment expressed as "everything is not good enough to be useful until it suddenly is". I find it a powerful mental model precisely because it is not a sta…

I was there earlier last year, and it was none too impressive. Pretty shoddy brick walls (just straight blocks), crumbling at many places, constructed possibly along ancient founda…

Interesting idea. Does it include any adaptive learning/spaced repetition mechanism? (I don't have an ios device, so I can't test)

I think there really, really has to be a demo (at least screenshot mocks). How will you collect the data (about me)? How much? How much more individual will this be compared to jus…

It's not really about that. If I hire you to make software for me, I don't really want software; I want a problem to go away, a money stream built, a client to be happy. Of course,…

I don't know. Career plans aside, to me, making software is a means to an end. There is no inherent value to producing software, as there may be in producing car tires or bananas. …

Note that this says "best programmers" not "people best at having business impact by making software". I wonder about this often: If you want to have impact/solve problems/make mon…
