I interviewed at Linkedin in 2020 or so - interview went great, team fit was great, all the interviews were great, the recruiter told me he was going to prepare an offer... then I …

You’re doing native apps wrong if they’re 300mb. And also no web app in 2026 is just 50kb!

I know, I agree both have their uses :-) I was just jesting about the kind of extreme OP went for.

webapps are inefficient, clunky, slow substitutes to actual native apps. I think decades of marketing and billions spent by Google trying to convince people that webapps are better…

Any promising techniques so far? I’m working on a rather large monorepo and very few people on the team are managing to keep up with it. Looking for ideas to improve comprehension.…

PSC happened...

having heard the arguments made by some VP + C-levels throughout the Tokenmaxxing Tulip Mania, I think the interpretation that those mandates were made intentionally for "forcing e…

Yea I think this was somewhat true back in 2001. With bots composing half the traffic of the internet, governments controlling massive social botnets and the polarization of politi…

this is sorta like saying that being able to run your blog on your laptop will completely implode the cloud business

Viruses are nature’s GPUs

Every time a big paradigm shift happens in technology, people try to find equivalences between brain/consciousness/humanness and the latest tech they can comprehend. We are “just” …

Same for the Vision Pro. Locking down a $3k media consumption device to a single user is such a greedy move, it's unbelieavable

this entire administration has been a constant stream of "important turning point for the US" moments

I think this ship has sailed pretty hard, by now. Pretty much any app you can possibly use, from iTerm to Slack, is sending data to third-party LLMs (sometimes explicitly, most tim…

Vscode’s performance is pretty bad. It’s “tolerable” just like any electron app.

It’s just irrelevant for most users. These companies are getting more adoption than they can handle, no matter how clunky their desktop apps are. They’re optimizing for experimenta…

80% of the world population back then is less than 50% of the current number of people working in farming, so the assertion isn’t wrong, even if fewer people are working on farming…

> If you have not learned CS, how do you expect to separate the LLM wheat from the chaff? I didn't mention anything about learning CS. You can be a great engineer without having A*…

We're at a point in the LLM curve where there's two huge, polarized groups of developers: - the ones who don't see any value on AI for coding and dismiss it as a fad at every chang…

It doesnt really introduce anything that makes Vision Pro in any way better, though

The medium shapes the message. People who use Twitter a lot tend to write in tweet form. I just hope I don't start calling people dumb when they don't get what I'm trying to tell t…

in an age where junior engineers are no longer _reading code_ due to LLMs, VSCode isn't exactly the worst offender

did someone already tell Opus that Rob Pike hates it?

confusing any law with "moral principles" is a pretty naive view of the world. Many countries base some of their laws on well accepted moral rules to make it easier to apply them (…

I don’t know any other smart rings that do what this one does. So not sure what you mean by “less features”
