Well we can go a step further and say Devtools must not be VC funded too :) Till date, the best and greatest dev tools I've used have not been influenced by VC decisions.

Nice! I've always wanted something like this clubbed with Coupons, Offers and combos that can be a steal deal sometimes.

If there is a place that is hiring and cares about Software Quality, I'll take a 70% paycut to work there.

Yeah, AI works great for everyone in vacuum, but works for no one in a group.

> My tinfoil hat says that this is what tech CEOs want. They want workers that are low skilled and can be paid less. Guess it worked then. I'm happy to take a paycut to never deal …

This hits so hard. I used to admire Senior developers who would do this. Now, I find myself in a place where there is no one to do this, and I've taken up to playing this role. It …

All this debate around use LLM or not is tiring and just black and white thinking. Can I use agents to code a SWE project? yes, with nuances. Can I write code for a SWE project? ye…

3 AI related articles on the front page, but one is busting slop. I'm hopeful.

Shameless plug. But poor Indie hacker's log store based on similar concepts. Write logs to durable s3/r2 in parquet and querying with duckdb: https://github.com/amr8t/blobsearch No…

The big one that's missing as cost cutter. If you are a programmer, stay as close as you can to the code. Define the interfaces yourself and the core logic. You will know exactly w…

Until Claude Sonnet 4, it was Meh no big deal. 4 onwards and Opus was when I was really surprised by the ability. But nowadays, I'm more convinced than ever that using AI for all c…

For a bootstrapper's computeless log search solution using Duckdb and s3 compatible store, use Blobsearch ( https://github.com/amr8t/blobsearch )

Looks really slick! I've been using Obsidian with git, and am thinking of moving back to the OG solution of simply using a text editor with a git repo. I'm wary of using cloud like…

Have you tried freelancing? Curious if that has seen an uptick or fall.

I've been having the same feeling too. At work, I try to do a hybrid prompt where I fill in things at method level with some placeholder pseudocode and let the prompt fill in the b…

I started with s3 and moved to R2. Log volumes are low enough that its covered in the free usage tier.

DuckDB is amazing. It has completely replaced my need of using Cloudwatch or Loki etc for logs. I simply emit parquet to s3 now and use DuckDB to query locally. No HA compute or pa…

Can't disagree with that. Agriculture, Energy, Grocery, Credit all have co-ops, Yet tech is non-existent.

Sounds like this should be the default path if AI is really enabling everyone and setting an even field. Why is it just winner (CEO and co) takes all and losers go home?

just cancelled mine. Only reason to have it was I could get a lot more done with a single prompt. No reason why I shouldn't go to the model provider directly instead.

This is a huge concern and I fully agree with the post. Even though one might think I am not fully giving into AI, this was always the case etc. It still affects YOU and everyone e…

License makes a lot of sense. Many engineering fields have licenses. Needs to be made mandatory. Tech rapidly evolves which was an excuse. Well, a lot has stabilized now in terms o…

Struggling at work with AI mandates. There is heavy top down push to use AI, this is at one of the large Tech companies in the US. This has me quite depressed. Everyone sends slop …
