Yes exactly. Gave me a laugh, thank you!

Yes, I believe so too, I am sad to say.

You'll be amazed when you hear about scandinavia.

In my experience there are unfortunately some people, call them X, who feel that they do not need to be in the office, while their colleagues feel that X do need to be in the offic…

> I can easily imagine most nursing tasks being subsumed by robotics I think you are greatly underestimating the difficulty of automating nursing tasks. About teachers: some amount…

So, the plan is to work super hard until you are ~40, only to die in a car accident at 35? Don't plan to have fun later, because later may never come.

Yes, people (myself included) have a strong tendency to use hyperbolic factors, "ten times", "100x" because true estimates are very hard to do.

I have the same impression. It is an interesting phenomenon. Is it one of the ways we will gradually learn that AI in the form of LLMs is fundamentally lacking? I use AI all the ti…

No 4: getting off social media and HN is a good thing in general and in particular. There really is a distortion field around these sites that can make you feel sick.

We are heading for Evil Startrek.

So you rediscovered "build one to throw away", popularized in The mythical man-month, afaik?

I sympathize completely with you, but.. they robbed you of these moments of enjoying the art of programming itself at your day job . You are still free to enjoy it in your free tim…

Yes precisely. In my eyes the lack of objective answers in much of philosophy makes it an easy target for humans getting lost in their own "rationality". People vastly overestimate…

I hope you can find joy again. People like you, who value the human side, are needed in this world. I agree that in recent years it has been going the wrong way, but to change it w…

The old man is absolutely pointing out a very real problem. It is too easy with LLMs to create crap PR:s. I learned Flask from Grinberg, god bless the man.

Your book was my path to Go. Thank you! Having a physical book means much to me.

The kids are smarter than many of us think. We owe to them a world where they can feel hope and see a future. But much of the AI hype is built around declaring how dangerous and fu…

But it also means we solve the same problems as before but faster, meaning less time is given to planning and thinking about what to actually build. This is a real problem where I …

People choose between staying physically fit or have kids? I find that hard to believe.

The knees need exercise to be well. Nutrients are passed into meniscus etc by pressure cycling.

> We don't necessarily need hard separation of planning and coding, but we need a deliberate separation of experimental/explorative coding and the code that is supposed to make it …

Pointless nit, but replace "essential" with "invaluable" for a play with words.

What, no, maybe I am missing something but as these steps to get good results? I don't need them all, and some/many seem just like common sense or too specific. Like "72 steps to m…

Please tell more. I have the same impression. But that is where it is going - roles merging and being able to do the full spectrum will be valuable.
