I switched to Windsurf recently and it's been pretty good for providing a Cursor-like experience; pricing is pretty similar.

I was skeptical of Devin after the launch, but it's been writing most of my code the last few months.

It looks like this scammer has been targeting well-credentialed developers for over a month. Here’s a Twitter thread from August: https://twitter.com/searls/status/1534913027795038…

It's truly baffling how they manage to consistently make the software worse every single release. I was a huge fan of 1Password many years ago (and have been happy to pay for it th…

Exciting to see Rust's power applied to codegen. It's quickly supplanting Go as the tool of choice for these use cases.

> No one uses "fuck" in corporate communication either. Swear words are specifically used to be provocative, so naturally they're not going to disappear. Words like "motherboard" o…

They 100% would be. In fact, people in the Alphabet Union are on the forefront of DEI initiatives like this.

It's a little of both. There's enough woke influence over corporate communication to drive all employees to want to avoid non-inclusive words in docs. At that point, this becomes u…

You are being deliberately vague with your position and relying on ad hominems. I'll help you. For each of these questions, do you think it's something employees should be told: 1.…

> You're talking about two different things, which gives credence to my point that 'interviewee doesn't know what they are asking'. Your position is inconsistent and conceited. If …

This is a great signal of which companies value their employees or not. In my experience, all the good startups are transparent in helping employees evaluate equity offers. Ex. all…

You're right, this actually does vary by jurisdiction. I looked into and was quite surprised that the UK allows something called "compensated game control" to adjust the odds dynam…

The fixed odds do not guarantee that a certain payout will happen. You seem to have misunderstood how it works. The odds determine the likelihood on any individual roll, not some t…

It actually makes me feel incredibly optimistic. Nothing snaps me out of a depressive episode as effectively as contemplating the scale of the universe. On a cosmic scale, all my p…

Exactly. One of the first steps of onboarding should be to make sure new hires are set up to fix the onboarding doc(s) themselves.

> Honestly? Onboarding is hard. How are you supposed to do it? Everyone who has to go through it isn’t going to fix it, because they’re new and have their actual job to get to. Giv…

Separation of concerns is not a legal concept. Zillow does not have any fundamental control over the market. They do not have any obligation to show true prices. They are a private…

I'm not convinced this is even a problem that needs to be solved. If companies inevitable self-destruct from short-term management, that creates space for new companies to emerge w…

Unfortunately my experience is that most PMs are not sufficiently technical. They will often add more work by injecting useless processes and try to "demonstrate value" by coming u…
