I use this pattern for my makefiles. First item is for "help", and it dynamically scrapes all the other commands (assuming format : ## ). So if I do 'make help' it'll list all the …

Yep, the poke pattern is additionally nice because it means my state reconciliation function is the same when running on cron interval vs event driven. On the flip side, it helps t…

Anthropic releasing things like Cowork explains why they wouldn't want you to host the model and retain your data. They need that data so they can push into wider job automation, d…

Here's a common workflow: - Ask cursor to summarize your existing repo to write you a nice readme - Cursor opens repo - Cursor looks at current code - Because it's going above and …

I've been a manager for some years. Without sounding too up myself, what made me good at management was the fact that I knew how to do the things I asked people to do. It allowed m…

I wouldn't accept that junk from any engineer in my team. My experience with good developers has been: - Create something a bit ugly which works - As more use cases come in, refact…

A lot of rules like "some fields are hidden / shown based on other fields" come from restricting users to only expressing valid object states. E.g. I have a form where a user can p…

I haven't seen a code base which hasn't fallen into degradation from that loop. From personal experience, any "correction" leads to an LLM writing more code, or stripping apart int…

That's because the assumption is the new product can already do what their current product can, so the things customers ask for is the extras. It's really easy to forget that a lot…

If I flag every line in your PR as a potential security bug then I have 100% recall. Obviously you need a mixture of high recall and low false positive rate. If 7/8 flagged items a…

My advice would be to only use HTMX for data state related operations. For something like an intelligent back button, unless it depends on resource state do not use the backend to …

All the talking points and techniques are those which were used when pushing outsourcing: give better specs, write detailed tests, accept bad code because it works so who cares, we…

Nice write-up. Did you try the problem out against a MIP method?

Presentation of data and a story is a very important part of the service. That's why we have a mix of pictures, tables, paragraphs, etc. It's why UX is so important in general.

Expertise isn't there because people are outsourcing that sort of work to companies. I didn't know how to do much of anything, until I had to do it for work. Then learning everythi…

Htmx has events you can listen to like htmx after response. You can think of it almost like a middleware. After the response comes in, your callback is triggered and you can make t…

FYI I had a similar problem to yours in terms of having jobs I wanted to run on a schedule. I also had an extra layer where I wanted to let users to define jobs with their own spec…
