    has iTerm2 improved significantly in the last couple of years? I remember feeling the speedup when I went from iTerm2 to kitty, so that's surprising to me.

    Most are, implicitly at least. But at the time, there was definitely a period of transition with many shops continuing to use subversion for a while.

    There's a pretty big difference between the understanding that comes with reviewing code versus writing it, for most people I think.

    I think about this a lot, and do everything I can to avoid having Claude write production code while keeping the expected tempo up. To date, this has mostly ended up having me use …

    This is an odd comment on "Hacker" news. There's a joy to be had in making things like this, even though there are better alternatives and it's often a weird thing to do in the fir…

    I have noticed something similar. I feel like I have done that so many times for XML files. Perhaps it is re-establishing the settings when any kind of update gets installed.

    There were a number of Motorola-inspired ideas that made their way to Dilbert while I was working there in the late 90s.

    Hah I love things like this, where the compiler leaks out.

    This is true, also for people immersed in this world. Sometimes the dark mode of a site is ass, and it's better to set a preference for that site to use light mode to make it more …

    No, but the whole article felt definitively AI-generated.

    Always good to have a weed puller in your toolshed. A stand-up puller, specifically, that operates as a lever, allowing it to first grab deeply and then through a rotation of the h…

    Yeah, this. Each project I work on has it's own markdown file named for the ticket or the project. Committed on the branch, and I have claude rewrite it with the "current understan…

    Claude Code is the superior interface in my opinion. Definitely start there.

    There's a ton of reasons why that may happen. One of which being that someone may not have known about it and wanted to share.

    My story is similar to yours, and I feel what you're saying. I would just be a different person today if I had avoided it altogether. Internally I have resolved to just keep lookin…

    This is inspiring me to collect more of my own data -- great job!

    The bounce to me has always seemed more intuitive than the bang, but man, when it comes to the quantum universe I've learned to just check intuition at the door.

    TBH I mostly use LinkedIn for this kind of thing. I do have a resume for the odd occasion I need it but LI mostly suffices. It's hard for me to know whether it would gain traction …

    It sounds kind of anachronistic, although I think there might be some markets for that outside of this bubble. If you're looking for critique, I think your landing page is extremel…

    I finally got access to it -- much better experience than I had expected. I really like being able to choose the voice/cadence. I wasn't able to get it to auto-send after a few sec…

    I honestly used to be a skeptic on AI, at least for how it was being marketed, until agentic workflows became available. I've been in this biz for about 25 years now and have seen …

    Thanks a lot. This sounds great for my envisioned use case which is having conversations while on a road trip to research ideas that pop into my head. Not having to tap the screen …

    Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to getting voice mode, but after doing some searching I saw that it still needed the user to hit the "send" button after they are done ta…
