    I like this insight. We kind of always knew that we wanted good docs, but they're demotivating to maintain if people aren't reading them. LLMs by their nature won't be onboarded to…

    I don't think the bar here is a human level coder, I think the bar is an LLM which reads and follows the README.md. If we're otherwise assuming it reads and follows an AGENTS.md fi…

    I'm very much an environmentalist and am very concerned about climate change, and I feel like this article completely put me at ease about sea level rise. I suspect this was the op…

    I also had that impression. The headline worked for me, and then it sort of teased me along with details that ultimately ended without a conclusion and a feeling of "why did I just…

    From memory and a little grepping of the Weekly Kiwi archives, I found: "Project Null Terminator", Aardvark, B??, Caribou, Dingo, E??, Flying Fox, Giganotosaurus, ??

    Aardvark'd: 12 Weeks with Geeks[1] is a delightful time capsule of 2005 software development. It includes interviews with @pg, the Reddit founders, and other delights. It's availab…

    FogBugz's evidence-based scheduling always resonated with me too. Back in grad school I remember writing a paper arguing how it was a fundamentally better way to manage project est…

    Fog Creek renamed to Glitch as we transitioned from being a bootstrapped product-incubation lifestyle company to a single-product VC-backed startup. I think of the Fog Creek storyb…

    Thanks for sharing, Chris. Honestly it sounds to me like you're living the dream-- you're secure enough in your abilities that you can pursue the projects you're excited by rather …

    Hey Patrick! Thanks for the article. "Producing Artifacts" is definitely what we called that at Fog Creek, and I think our cousins at Stack may have used a different term but follo…
