Claude is helping me learn French right now. I am using it as a supplementary tutor for a class I am taking. I have caught it in a couple of mistakes, but generally it seems to be …

When I was in grad school my faculty advisor joked to me that to accurately estimate any medium to large software project, take your best estimate and multiply it by 3. If hardware…

When I first tried an LLM agent, I was hoping for an interactive, 2-way, pair collaboration. Instead, what I got was a pairing partner who wanted to do everything themselves. I cou…

> You've spent so much time explaining why enterprise software is terrible, we're starting to think you might be the person who designed Salesforce. That's a low blow.

You are right, but it doesn't take many extroverts not understanding this concept to make it feel like it's everybody :) My mother, for example, is a serious extrovert. When I expl…

No, I just avoid it.

Not for me. Coffee, anything caffeinated actually, makes me sick like I have the flu. The older I get, the more sensitive I become. I can't even eat chocolate anymore because of th…

You don't. Explaining what happened is not going to help the user at all. You can only explain what options are available to the user. Something like the following "Sorry, this mes…

This reminds me of the time at my work when the CTO gathered all the devs together, and told us "We have to innovate more". With no real further instructions. He even showed us a g…

I remember reading a sci-fi story in which aliens who are covertly observing the Earth see this happening and secretly rescue Laika just before she dies.

One of the advantages of functions is that a well-named function is self-documenting. If you can take a bunch of lines and wrap them in a function whose name summarizes exactly wha…

I always did best at the exams I had nightmares about. To the point where having an exam nightmare would make me feel better about an upcoming exam, I would actually start to worry…

> I feel there is a lot of room to develop better tools that are not so horrid Isn't that where Salesforce came from? At least in the CRM space. It is not as horrid, though that is…

Oooh! I have a copy of that at home! https://imgur.com/a/rWHmft0

Getting flashbacks to the sci-fi short story "Grenville's Planet". First contact may not go very well.

Amazing! Love this! How do you choose the books to added to your library?

Something similar happened to one of my corporations. Somebody targeted by scam the was suspicious and contacted me via LinkedIn. Discovered somebody had setup a completely separat…

Same. It shaved 8 years off of me, and then called me ugly.

Unless getting in and out of VR becomes as easy as putting one and taking off a pair of sunglasses, it's never going to become mainstream. Some serious disruption is going to be re…

One trick I know of is to add site:myshopify.com to your google search. For example https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amyshopify.com+mens+sw...
