I believe him. I don’t know him personally but his blog posts pop up here from time to time and this feels genuine to me.

Time Machine is for the everyday person. The everyday person doesn’t have a few thousand dollars to buy a second machine just to properly test a full restore backup periodically.

Wild idea: Could be a symbolic dead man switch. Reports of FBI going hard after archive.today around the time the HN account was setup and they post an archive.today competitor. Pi…

My company takes between Christmas and New Years off. I took a week before that off too. I have not used AI in that time. The slower pace of life is amazing. But when I get back to…

I have healthcare apps. The review process for me consists of some reviewer deciding what set of healthcare features I should have picked from their list and rejecting on that basi…

I poorly worded it. Rafales allegedly shot down. After that happened, perhaps the pilots wanting them over F35s might have a different opinion. F35s might be harder to get a lock o…

The pilots might have reassessed after Pakistan seemed to have shot three of them down from over 200km range. Intel failure blamed but likely many factors of which some presumably …

As a co-founder and dev at a bootstrapped company I’d say AI has and will slow developer hiring rate. We’re just more productive and on top of things more. We’ve also reduced the h…

The number of people we are talking about as a percentage of CS like graduates is tiny. They aren’t kids either. It seems like a low risk experiment on both sides.

Paying tax isn’t a big company vs small company thing. A single company not paying tax isn’t that bad directly but it can be infectious. “They don’t pay neither should I” attitude …

https://youtu.be/Wv5F5N6mFf0?si=uE9fqMC_LdViYJWu . Nice review of how they work and what they feel like.

From my experience, the high performance developers can’t be identified from how they learnt to build software. But I do feel there is some correlation with how much they enjoy sol…
