I love this anecdote. It highlights what our industry continues to forget: The end user doesn't care. Don't get me wrong, tech is why I am here. But if it works, Alice and Bob don'…

While neat, I don't get consistent scores if I retry it a few times. If it leads with a series of greens first, my score is more green oriented, and vice versa.

This is what I have been doing. I don't think I've made any amazing breakthroughs, but at the same time I can't help but feel like I've come across some white paper-worthy realizat…

That's a solid point. I knew my flake setup could be better but never bothered. Then one day earlier this year I threw Claude at it. Not only did it improve everything, it fixed a …

Perhaps? I just used it to analyze one of my 96k Zig codebases using Claude Code and here is (part of) what came back. (I snipped out the deeper analysis above as it exposes my pri…

I kept seeing people all over social media talking about how they were making custom local-LLM systems to help reduce the token load injected into their context window. On the side…

I've been obsessively tinkering for weeks on Daimon, my pet little non-LLM AI realtime cognitive machine. Still trying to figure out what it can actually achieve besides be a massi…

I appreciate the feedback. I have been talking to a lot of people about the very same point you make and had a lot of good brainstorming sessions. I introduced functionality to do …

Late last year, my day job had an end-year leadership retreat. The one thing that really stood out to me, a line manager, was our speaker. She talked about the $50B wellness indust…

Sorry to be that guy. I love nix, I want to read more about how people use nix. The font presented under NixOS + Firefox is near unreadable on this website.

What kind of costs are you thinking?

In case anyone is curious, here was my epiphany project from 2 weeks ago: https://github.com/boj/the-project I then realized I could feed it everything it ever needed to know. Just…

I've been an EM for the last 10 of my 25 year Software Engineering career. Coding is, frankly, boring to me anymore, even though I enjoyed doing it most of my career. I had this pr…

I feel like a grandpa after reading that comment now.

My team still has 8 year old Haskell systems in production. We pivoted away from the language a few years ago, which I discuss here a bit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3774…

I have a similar sentiment. While attending university and learning Maya on SGIs, I recall finding Blender in 1997 and chatting with Ton a little in their IRC channel. Was never ab…

This was my thought as well. Back to dumb devices and call it a day.

I recall that one of the primary reasons they built Go was because of the half-day compile times Google's C++ code was reaching.

I don't work here but have some insight. It's difficult for a lot of companies to vet the proper labor and tax laws required per state, and even city, to hire an individual. Some s…

I assume most HN job posts are from small startups. Even if they are established companies with a sizable head count, it seems weird seeing the same exact job post month after mont…

I'm pretty sure Stripe was a heavy user of this for a while. They used it due to their write-heavy system, if I recall. I fondly remember writing a Go driver for it. Was a good exp…
