Really appreciate the reply :) I’ve read a ton on ADHD and pretty suspect that I do have it, but didn’t want to claim anything before going through a proper diagnosis (which I’ll g…

I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD but this comment hits home. I also struggle to juggle multiple tasks and I’ve had to build a lot of personal strategies to be productive at my j…

I’m just holding out for when this stuff becomes mainstream and automatically built into tooling. I don’t want to hold a retro with my agent. I actually want to spend as little tim…

I’m noticing a big divide between engineers who work in computational/library work and product work. And maybe a lot of this is coming from how we have to interact with people and …

Did you maybe consider that the 10 year timeline is not denial, but actually well educated reasoning based on Yuval’s experience and understanding of the problem space? You shouldn…

> hey, I don’t know the answer to your question but I went through Claude and got this response. Let me know if that answers your question otherwise we can dig deeper together That…

I do this often, I manage to get the results I’m looking for

How do you know your testing is complete if you're not sure what the underlying code does?

I don't think this argument holds. The OP made the very good point that most quality software teams are composed of both seniors and juniors, with the seniors (and even staff membe…

this doesn't work in any truly complex system. If the entire organization's shared understanding could be captured in a few documents, software engineering would've been a solved p…

Thanks, that makes sense! I’m realizing that’s how I’ve been learning to approach it too and seeing the best results.

Do you feel like the ideas you’re getting from brainstorming these days are the same level of quality as in the past? I’ve been doing some of the same, but I’ve also been feeling l…

The indigenous populations probably would.

I resent my recent ancestors for tearing up all our cities in favour of motorways, and grateful only that it wasn’t worse. They thought that was progress though, and that cars were…

Claude/ChatGPT is not good or elegant writing. Read a book or a short essay from a respected author and it becomes obvious why different styles of writing are actually discernible.…

The price of community is inconvenience

Proper rails, hygiene and architecture need to be actively maintained, they don’t just continue to exist in a developing codebase. Historically, a small proportion (the 10% as you …

I'm not sure where this idea that REAL ID is a form of citizenship came from. I am not a citizen and i was given a REAL ID just by proving my legal (non-immigrant) status.
