objective systems become gamified subjective systems become politicized pick your poison

I am definitely going to do this as I age, I just don't need the stimulant effects as much anymore. That said, the ritual of getting coffee and sipping on something warm in the mor…

It's been on a downward trend before agentic coding took over. I suspect it's a mix of Microsoft culture and Microsoft infrastructure. It's starting to feel about the same quality …

Anything beyond this is usually a play to trap you into an ecosystem. No reason to adopt any of these frameworks, especially if you already have a mature workflow system.

This is why an org should have skip-levels. You can't put anyone on an island with that kind of unchecked authority and expect good results.

Back in early 2000s, before hackerrank and similar coding sites, this is what my professors recommended for training programming skills.

Given that this space is so rapidly evolving, these kinds of posts are helpful just to make sure you aren't missing anything big. I've caught myself doing something the hard way af…

As a technologist, you should always avoid MS. Even if they have a best-in-class solution for some domain, they will use that to leverage you into their absolute worst-in-class eco…

I did angular for many years and just recently came back to doing frontend work for a recent project. This is my experience with react, its not perfect and there are a few react-is…

100%. I use em-dashes a decent amount and plan to continue. If someone wants to incorrectly assume it was AI writing so be it.

Normal people are just weird people you don't know very well.

I wish I had the courage to post and talk like this more. I really resonated with the authors words as these kinds of feelings make up a lot of my internal monologuing some days.

Do you take requests? We need to see how well this model works with some fine-tuning :D

The author describes a lot of directives they found useful. Be aware Claude has the concept of `slash commands` https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/slash-command...

I think the intention of it, as weird as it may seem, is to punish people for engaging with content the other subreddit mods feel is distasteful enough to warrant the effort. I can…

Is it some form of least-recently-used approach? I'm running tests on my own mind trying to figure it out now :D part of what I love about this area of computer science.

From the linked Programmer blog [1]: > It might seem lowly to be a Programmer, but in a world where so much is driven by computers there's nothing shameful in being the person who …

"Strange" times is a bit of an understatement.

Tilt is useful for local-dev where you are going to be modifying code / k8s configs and want live reload when you make changes. That is almost the entire appeal.

I did a blog post for Linkerd showing some of the benefits of using Tilt https://linkerd.io/2024/12/02/tilt-linkerd-nginx-part-1/ . TL;DR you can run some of your infra in local-de…

This is the difference between open source to share useful code and open source to build leverage for a business.

They define it in the same file https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/48ff99bb... > An agent is an AI model configured with instructions, tools, guardrails, handoffs …

This link is also referring to the nodes as agents. So its a system of agents interacting to product an outcome. I'm not saying this system is bad, just that I think it deserves an…

That's what I am talking about as well. The low-level implementation of an agent isn't necessarily a rigid graph, and I'd actually argue its explicitly not this.
