    It’s 2026 and my computer will happily give me the right answer even when i make typos. I love it.

    Yep! It’s all just text files. Lots of acronyms in top of lots of ways to generate, send, and read structured text files. One day I realized even databases were just text files and…

    I've seen it turn right in business contexts. Sometimes you can even lower your standard of "good enough" and find quantity has a quality all its own. But it requires taste and eng…

    That's more or less what Claude Cowork is. Every serious engineer I've seen try to use it ran away screaming, because of limitations in the sandbox. I've also seen people set their…

    > Just getting the code to run on your laptop took a week. This one surprised me. Claude Code in the CLI has made standing up an app and debugging whatever random dependencies or d…

    I think the hard part is acquiring the GPUs, first at all, then at any reasonable price.

    Some business users spent ~30 minutes on an internal process, and we prototyped an "Agent" in Slack to take over. At first it didn't work, then it didn't work some more, eventually…

    A lot of people feel this way. But IMO the most fruitful thing for an engineering org to do RIGHT NOW is learn the tools well enough to see where they can be best applied. Claude C…

    Could this be an experiment to show how likely LLMs are to lead to AGI, or at least intelligence well beyond our current level? If you could only give it texts and info and concept…

    I barely remember the time before reddit - crazy how the redesign seemed to kill it the first time around!

    Coming around to this conclusion myself after experimenting with the tools for a few weeks. Things have changed.
