Nope. For me the constraint is the same as before: time. A 2-day vibe coded project is a prototype, not a product. An actual product takes months. AI merely allows you to build mor…

Yes, I was up at 4 am every day. It's hard work.

The author talks as if this were a new phenomenon; it is not. I actually did go buy a farm in the 2010s, grew alfalfa, managed cattle, cared for horses, etc. Except I did it while …

Permission prompts is a TERRIBLE model, and never should have existed. This is one of the reasons that led to the development of yoloAI: - No permission prompts. The agent has free…

You could actually use SIMD instructions to detect sequences of bytes with the top bit cleared, thus allowing bulk copies of ASCII text without a per-byte loop. Another optimizatio…

Just like published books were considered a symbol of effort that no one would have considered a blog as being anywhere near. When was the last time you looked up a book to find an…

These are all symptoms of the adjustment period following a disruptive technology. Eventually it'll be perfectly normal to use AI-generated content (and use AI to summarize it), an…

Ultimately, the problem is that every person has their own anecdata-driven or follow-the-leader-inspired ideas about how to interview effectively, and large swaths of them are in s…

I think that the author is focusing on the symptom rather than the cause. The current nerd bro culture isn't much different from the jock bro or wall street bro or adventurer bro c…

... And then drive under the threat that their own tires will get punctured as well.

That would be an expensive way to drum up business.

This sounds a lot like: "Try doing this thing." "No." "You can't do it because of your deficiencies." "I won't do it because all you've done is spout a bunch of pseudoscience."

It's why I built the yoloAI tool, in fact!

Also known as the Buttle-Tuttle mixup.

> That same time-traveling video renter might find herself startled by the employee offering to recommend a movie, or by the knot of customers hanging out by the counter, shooting …

I built yoloAI, which is a sandboxer so it uses tmux to keep the agent alive inside. Since I can just reattach to them or use VS code tunnels, I don't really have a need for a mult…

I've been dealing with it on the post-training (runtime) side with a large codebase that contains many moving parts, many rules and requirements. Putting all of that into the conte…

Did you look at the starling code?

You won't, because your prejudice will prevent you from looking.

Nicely done! This is an example of how engineering discipline mixed with good agent guidance can avoid the slop. A couple of things: - The test pyramid (static -> unit -> functiona…

> It might seem absurd to you to even suggest superhuman AIs could function as a truth-oracle (it certainly does to me), but there are two reasons to take it seriously. First, it i…

Go and rust have better guardrails that help agents write better code. Python and JS aren't opinionated enough.

A toilet's operation wouldn't be too hard to explain to an alien who has enough science for interstellar travel. A siphon mechanism works the same way for them as for us (although …

I'm not doing adversarial critiques of the code; I'm doing adversarial critiques of the designs and plans. If it's still outputting bad code when it comes to the implementation, I …

My experience over the past year has been the exact opposite. I work through a design with the agent, have it research any points I'm not confident on, drill down on details I feel…
