I've built a few boxes: https://www.printables.com/model/355924-clickable-touch-id-b... https://gist.github.com/KhaosT/1406a6b6bea38f59e059c2afcb39d... You have to carefully tear d…

Reading it is good, but working with it more directly seems to help retention.

You seem to be massively exaggerating here for effect. I think the main point is, if you're building frontend web apps, you should probably know how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript inter…

> Of course both are useful, but I’d rather have familiarity with the codebase than a deep general understanding of software systems. In my experience, getting that familiarity wit…

Don't really have the context, but I'd trust the expert that it will get done on the schedule they want. I'd say people on the outside of things often ask these kinds of questions …

God forbid someone see their kids after work. Won't someone think of the potential profits in performatively staying late at work?

I guess if you have nothing else to live for except your job, you'd be really psyched to keep dumping more hours into it...

I think things like CI, linters, hooks, etc started as defense against humans eventually ignoring it (low blood sugar, under pressure, never cared in the first place, etc). These s…

Unfortunately, I don't think AI companies will opt to throttle onboarding new users via a licensing/training system.

Sure, but it's easy to accidentally start up the agent in the wrong directory, like when you open a new terminal. I've done it before when I was distracted (albeit with Claude, not…

Is Fable/Mythos a new generation then?

That's good to know, but I think maybe the bulk of the original point is still concentrated in the "we always need new models to stay relevant" piece.

> Of course, this was a hugely poor read of where the costs actually lie in AI. Training - while no doubt capex intensive - is a fixed, up-front cost. You spend hundreds of million…

I type the emdash a lot myself; how do you know the author doesn't as well? The copy is simple and readable so even if it is AI, who cares?

I just ignore people that can't coherently talk about the pros and cons of Vim.

I suspect that while they prefer you to give up all your data, what's even more likely is they are moving fast and breaking things at a rate unseen before, and not enough conversat…

Maybe the difference is more of the professionals in the field now haven't built that same muscle, as there's a broader group of people working in tech. Whereas the folks that coul…

Do you have it? I've gotten a lot of use out of it, and I find there's a lot of people without it that love to dismiss it in these kinds of threads as useless. It helps me improvis…

I have it, it wanders a bit, but I don't know what you mean by "out of key". If it wanders, everything would relatively wander with it. I've never found it to be a curse in any cas…

I have it from early age, and it also shifts now that I'm almost 40. I think the more constantly I use it though, the more it seems to settle back into accuracy.

> Regarding OOP itself, I also remember when "favor composition vs inheritance" become a thing. Was this reversed too? I think this is generally still the advice, when working in O…

Yes, and/but, many enter life once the horse riding is the dominant culture. It never even crosses their mind that smelling the roses is a thing they could or should do.

Hey I mean AI is supposed to make us 10x more productive, so the price of things should also go down 10x right? ...right?

Do you have access to their financials?
