Each marginal person produces more than they consume. As a whole, everyone is better off for having more people.

Claude will migrate your whole repo in an hour.

I think that the beauty of the human experience is that all you need to learn is to practice. You automatically improve at what you're doing. The kinds of skills that atrophy when …

It depends on if or not you're trying to correct for typos, or do something semantic. Also, embedding distance is much much more expensive.

coding is getting your foot in the door to software engineering, which is really like, computer systems engineering. We do so much more than code...

The bikeshedding is coming from in the room. The point is that the feature didn't cause any regression in capability. And who tf wants a plugin system with only support for first p…

That's a fair point. If you want to calculate the real total water usage of any person, you must first invent the universe. You have to cut it off somewhere.

Isn't this part of what containers/flatpaks solve?

See, I have no problem with searches that involve warrants and probably cause. They could already violate the shit out of your privacy with a warrant. That's kind of the point of a…

The k8s api server is the thing that's configured to talk to your Thales or whatever. On managed kubernetes, these are usually preconfigured to talk to the vendor -- that's the dif…

If you're not developing k8s operators, you're calling the api server directly, then complaining about lock in, then that's a skill issue. If you're developing k8s operators, then …

Yes you can? The container should be completely agnostic to the fact that it's running in kubernetes. You can do config the same way. Configmaps are mounted as regular files and en…

How is the kubernetes secret API lock in? Genuinely wondering - were you trying to use that deployment yaml for something other than a kubernetes deployment? For most applications,…

But is every feature in a browser supposed to be standardized? Like, it's against the rules somehow to develop features without asking permission from Apple and Mozilla?

OTOH, are all of the browsers supposed to move in lock step? Is chrome supposed to wait for everyone else's approval before launching any kind of feature?

Other teams decommitting is just how it goes.

I think the hope is that you just start there. They might have migrated the meeting room devices. Why would you set out to replace *everything* at once? Do something, get some reve…

Still a ways to go. I found out part of the reason for my linux bluetooth woes is that a settings in bluetooth called “JustWorks” and “FastConnect” default to off. Like. Why? As if…

Because you're not an (llm) agent and they're not for your consumption? You probably don't need the context in those docs.

Not sure where I fall on that one. In business, it is said that one ought to focus on core competencies and let other companies handle the rest. Why shouldn’t a country do the same…

Btw, he has a YouTube channel and streams. I recommend it if you’re seeking imposter syndrome.

Here's the hope that the demand for software continues to increase as developer productivity rises, and that increases in developer productivity are partially captured in higher sa…

It feels that way for a lot of privacy concerns. "Telemetry" is the scare word for debug log, core dumps, and stack traces. I think it’s completely reasonable to want those.

I don’t really agree with this. The vast majority of the time, if you encounter an error at runtime, there’s not much you can do about it, but log it and try again. From there, it …
