Since I'm between jobs, I've been taking the time to relearn geometry, trig, calc, and linear algebra. I've finished the first two and it's both humiliating and really fun to relea…

Based on the number of comments, upvotes, and recency, I expected it to stay up longer! I think you're right on the flame war part.

Did this get yanked off the front page?

I think if anyone is looking for a concise way to talk about the problems with LLM and agentic coding, it's this. People say AI assisted coding but for much of what I've seen (and …

This feels AI written as the post goes on. Either way, I'd like for us to stop fetishizing how we can use AI to make us stronger, better, and more valuable engineers. It's exhausti…

Ah I love this article. I'm now thinking about the idea of encouraging coworkers to orally defend their design documents which are using more AI generated content. People keep sayi…

If you don't know what a reasoning token is, then how can 39 be considered shockingly few?

Now we have to trick the models when you legitimately work in the security space.

I love how much time, money, and energy we are wasting on trying to trick these machines. Each day someone has a new bag of tricks.

Yes, as far as I've been told, they are. I imagine (hope) they run on a completely isolated version of it though.

What about it? You are responsible for the software you run.

Preach... thank you

Then people would lose a lot of money

it does support it ( https://docs.gitlab.com/administration/settings/scim_setup/ ) but we're not using it. We just do manual invites for now at our size. As far as kicking users ou…

Yeah I tried hosting forgejo and the first issue I found was that it was crashing some of the time with our large monorepo and getting actions/runners up and running was proving ti…

I just migrated our entire company off of github to gitlab self-hosted. So far so good. It's entirely behind tailscale so we don't have any SSO tax from gitlab and all of our CI ru…
