I built Screenstab [1] as a solo developer to make it easier to create the tilt-shift-style screenshots often seen in product launches, landing pages, blogs, and tech journalism. I…

That’s very intriguing. I guess it would involve specifying a mental model in clear enough terms for it to be comparable to an already verified model, or something.

The term “cognitive debt” is gaining ground [1]. We can now produce code faster than we can understand it. The bottleneck is real, and so is the feeling of being choked. The situat…

I like this. The few-shot example snippet method is something I’d like to incorporate in my workflow, to better align generated code with my preferences.

(Those are hardly analogous comparisons to LLM generated code, are they?) So you do a vibe check?

If it’s in the second category, I struggle not to mentally model it. How do you stop yourself? And should you?

How do you verify the code without actually looking at it?

Creating work for the clean-up crew and leaving good money on the table for them (because it ain't gonna be cheap).

Yes, and I like the points you are making. I feel like the mental models we make are exercises in a purer form of knowledge building than the code artifacts we produce. A kind of u…

On Twitter, Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code) recently said that nearly 100% of the code in Claude Code is written by Claude Code, and that he personally hasn’t written code in…

I was the bemused recipient of a couple of Twitter screenshots in a Slack DM this morning. One was Boris Cherny saying pretty much 100% of Claude Code's code is written by Claude C…

Yes. It would make it much easier to evaluate results if the input contents were parameterized and normalized to some agreed-upon structure. Not to mention the advantages it would …

Sure. Verifiability is far-fetched. But say I want to produce a statistically significant evaluation result from this – essentially testing a piece of prose. How do I go about this…

Are we sure that unrestricted free-form Markdown content is the best configuration format for this kind of thing? I know there is a YAML frontmatter component to this, but doesn't …
