> For one, rolling luggage is usually a mistake for anyone who's not flight crew. I used to travel with just a soft carry-on bag that converted into a backpack. It was great to jus…

Honestly? I looked it up on the glossary page of the company wiki and didn't feel much of anything about having to learn it. At the time I didn't know what "Global Biodiversity Inf…

I think context and audience matter a lot. The post seems to mostly be talking about acronyms in the context of writing that's aimed at a public audience, but a lot of acronym use …

For me it was Suno, not any of the coding tools. I prompted it to write a song about my family's little dog, told it a few things about the dog, and it came back with a K-pop-style…

It actually did automatically break the work up into chunks and launched a bunch of parallel workers to each handle a smaller amount of work. It wasn't doing everything in a single…

I wish I had this kind of experience. I threw a tedious but straightforward task at Claude Code using Opus 4.6 late last week: find the places in a React code base where we were us…

The biggest thing tying my team to GitHub right now is that we use Graphite to manage stacked diffs, and as far as I can tell, Graphite doesn't support anything but GitHub. What ot…

> otherwise the PRs just keep piling Good news! You can't create new PRs right now anyway, so they won't pile.

Please do this! As a Graphite user, I'd love to be able to switch to jj for my local development, but the disconnect between it and Graphite keeps me away.

This is an interesting way to look at it because you can kind of quantify the tradeoff in terms of the value of your time. A simple analysis would be something like, if you value y…

> I've seen people who prefer to say "hey siri set alarm clock for 10 AM" rather than use the UI. Which makes sense, because language is the way people literally have evolved speci…

I'd sort of roughly approached this technique with my own channel organization over time without thinking about it systematically, but this is a helpful crystallization of what I'd…

When I was living in China I got used to crossing large streets one lane at a time. Pedestrians stand on the lane markers with cars whizzing by on either side while they wait for a…

As a satisfied customer of yours, the prospect of having to give up Graphite is the main thing keeping me from giving jj a try at my day job. Ironic, since if there are a bunch of …

I didn't get a diagnosis at Kaiser SF, but I was able to get meds through them. Maybe this will be of use to you. I was diagnosed by a non-Kaiser psychiatrist I found on my own. Af…

This looks really useful! Wish I'd had something like this when I was learning Mandarin. I'm curious what determines whether or not you add a given language to the list. DeepL and …

This is maybe not in the spirit of OP's question, but I do it by having successfully made the case early in my company's lifetime that we should open-source most of our code. Nearl…

On some level, though this isn't quite what the person you're replying to was saying, it doesn't really matter whether AI actually can do any entry-level jobs. What matters is whet…

I don't have aphantasia (I can picture people and things if I want to) but unless I'm building a user interface, my thinking is completely non-visual when I'm programming or thinki…

The performance on programming tasks is impressive, but I think the limited context window is still a big problem. Very few of my day-to-day coding tasks are, "Implement a complete…

Same experience. When I was a little kid, I thought the high-pitched whine was just what “silence” sounded like.
