“Eventually I realised restaurants are about diners, not knives.”

You can still create enormous value modelling things that are well understood, and even boring. Most LOB SaaS wasn't created from deep Google-level engineering, it was taken in mod…

Most democratic socialist societies are capitalist, capitalism just remains politically subordinate rather than able to govern society unchecked.

He had the good fortune to cut just as AI was beginning to mean you needed fewer software engineers for the same level of output. And yes, software companies across the industry ha…

Stack Overflow conveniently defining the problem in a way that makes SO the answer. The irony is that the kind of code review that LLMs make possible would never have been doable o…

Would it be uncharitable to say we are reinventing all of the awful single pane of glass / enterprise orchestration platforms of the 2010s but making them 'fun'?

Quietly eh?

To me, the "who manages the agents" shtick has the same grifty smell as “your developers are downloading from random Docker registries / random NPM packages” and "Shadow IT". None …

Between 2002 and 2013, Hartlepool in North East England elected a local football mascot known as H'Angus the Monkey as their mayor, winning three elections. I think he did ditch th…

> I just installed this. I am very confused. I no longer have a Codex app on my computer. ChatGPT is now Codex. I ... hope we have an option for opting out of this? Otherwise I'm b…

They've discovered it's a good marketing strategy. Whenever there's an outage, or a new launch, there's often a reset with it, which helps keep people engaged with OAI / Tibo and r…

Yes that's what I meant, the per token cost is higher but as you say the efficiency levels it out / works slightly in Codex's favour.

You can however for now use wrappers which are not harnesses such as T3Code though. They were going to cut under the Programmatic API, but have at least temporarily walked it back.…

Codex has been good for a long time, more expensive but very focused on efficiency. Working with it feels faster and more to the point than Opus models and I trust it more with lon…

> too often CEOs adopt designers like a pet I've even seen a version where the designer is the CEO's daughter, which is the worst possible version of this pattern.

They're all based in Poland, so it's probably fairly generous compared to European market.

It's kind of ironic, if this article was written about programming, it would be immediately flagged as being too thin and written almost completely with AI.

They didn't apparently cancel it, they did cancel it. I'm still using a third party harness absolutely fine.

People are doing what they've always done with any other new technology, and sharing what, personally, works for them. People can take or leave the advice.

In my experience it, or something close to it, is the only way. AI needs good code to be beaten out of it.

There's two classes of models now - the cybersecurity ones that none of us are getting, and the 'safe' models released for general consumption. This is letting us know which side o…

Sovereignty is mostly just a protectionist racket. European firms struggle to compete with dominant US platforms, framing industrial policy as "sovereignty" rather than protectioni…
