Beautiful work, thanks for sharing!

I agree. Even though I thought this mission was interesting, to me the article massively overstates everything. NASA and the crew is SO amazingly competent, the world in recent yea…

One way that I could imagine a human-only HN could evolve in the coming AI wasteland: motivated individuals join small local groups and are validated face-to-face at meet-ups. Loca…

Fully agree: I believe my decades of software engineering experience definitely help me fly LLM tools better than less experienced folks. But the much more interesting question to …

My team has experienced this over the past 6 months for sure. The core of the article is “ AI-assisted development potentially short-circuits this replenishment mechanism. If new e…

Agree on data value, but as mentioned above I am not yet buying the “everything will be instantly copyable and so any solution is instantly commodity” argument … crud web-app sure,…

“And when everyone’s super, no one will be”. Fair point, but my hope is that the creativity involved in deciding what to build, with the choice informed by engineering experience (…

After a multi-decade career that spanned what is rapidly seeming like the golden age of software development, I have two emotions: first gratefulness; second a mixture of resignati…

Thanks very much for this awesome write up! It’s detailed labor-of-love work like this that helps others (like me!) make great jumps in learning. So appreciated.

Politics aside, according to a pretty comprehensive study (118 missions) it does seem that SpaceX is much more efficient than NASA [1]. Data like this would suggest privatization o…

I am a C/C++ dev learning Rust on my own, and enjoying it. I am finally starting to enjoy the jiu jitsu match with the compiler/borrow-checker and the warm “my code is safe” afterg…

“List six habits you wish to adopt, assign them to different times of the day, and aim to consistently perform at least four.” SIX? Um, how about we start with, like, one? That asi…

I must say, I love the tagline “creating order out of chaos (or reverse if needed)”

Off-topic: I loved “The Cuckoo’s Egg”, was part of what influenced me to get a CS degree. Fantastic read.

Where’s the H1Bs? Didn’t see them in the legend, but might have missed em since that legend is legendary

I am reminded of David’s song in Psalm 19 … It’s amazing to me how in the thousands of years since he wrote these words, we’ve still only scratched the surface of observing the bea…

I can totally believe the beauty-in-the-eye-of-beholder thesis, and it’s encouraging to think that I just need to find the 3% of people that will think I’m gorgeous. But it would b…
