I found that agents help, even if you don't parallelize. Having one agent control another and verify its results against rules you set has worked well for me because the controllin…

"Do not use react. Do not use tailwind. We will not deploy on vercel." and suddenly things work again, it's magic!

I'm on the other side, and my main tip (at least if there's people like me!) is: avoid the usual AI signs. For one role we got ~70 applications and all CVs looked obviously AI-writ…

> I personally spend hundreds of dollars a month on war. Or, put another way, you spend hundreds of dollars a month on not having to learn russian and live as putin's peasant. Seem…

Moats for software/web companies that are entirely "we've built it, it would be too expensive for you to replicate it" are getting much weaker. It's now quick to produce something …

Are you sympathetic to a doctor who specialized in surgery and now always recommends surgery, even for a common cold? Or would you say they are in the wrong job, if they are anywhe…

Tie them to the buyer's identity, offer at-value buy-backs until X weeks before event, disallow resale.

Aren't you leaking that there's an account with that email that has a non-password auth method if you treat them differently?

Of all the times someone used AI and did not disclose it, I've never found it to be a desire to be better, it was always a desire to do 5 minutes of work and still have a result th…

_before_? youtube is like the top 1000 creators / influencers / celebrities, 5% actual videos, and the rest is slop of various types for me. The search is entirely gone and will st…

> The right approach would be to say: I do not know. Let me discuss / research with my colleagues and get back to you. I suppose that would be very close to "you've come to the exp…

I have no idea about that law in particular and no dog in that fight, but I find > The Constitutional Court has also upheld it, meaning it's quite literally not unconstitutional. a…

It was also just plain strange. I don't know what they are doing to squeeze more money out of the tokens they sell, but using jetbrains' AI package always delivered significantly w…

> He funded a lawsuit by wrestler Hulk Hogan that destroyed the media company Gawker—a company that had, among other things, published unflattering reports about Thiel. Gawker-apol…

Wouldn't the argument be that you'd build separate copies of those services as well? Granted, for banking or government-interactions that isn't feasible, but wouldn't it for many o…

Is that a tell? Sounds very much like my reaction to that behavior, but I always assumed it's because I'm german.

I'm not saying we shouldn't improve the skill of our team members -- that's an obvious yes. But about transforming someone from "I don't want to think" into "I like a challenge and…

Me, individually, providing it to one customer? no. At scale, providing it to tens of thousands? yes. It's a perfectly fine price for a customer to pay and not worry about it, but …

Where is that race to the bottom visible? Surely not in the pricing -- bluehost's intro offers are already expensive (10gb space shared hosting for $3.99 a month -- in 2026?). Afte…

My experience is that that plainly does not work. I work with developers of both types, and the junior ones who are part of the first group are limited in their ability by experien…

I understand that point, but I disagree. Automattic controls the process, which keeps a lot of initiatives out because there's no reasonable expectation of improvement unless it al…

I think the less charitable and more honest reading is: he wouldn't have allowed such a commit if it wasn't an Automattic product that benefits. He's been making very clear busines…

Business is wordpress.com, this is wordpress.org -- explicitly not part of Automattic but an "independent" open source project. Obviously it isn't, but that's what Matt likes to pr…

11% of $50 -- did you get $5.50 of value out of it? Would a designer have charged you more then $5.50 to create the same?

figma has figma make to do these things, and it's much worse. It can only generate react code, even if you ask it not to. claude design worked great on the first attempt for me, mi…
