Genuine question: if a human did this manually would it be considered derived?

Cool yeah. I got a M3 with 32GB ram and it’s a little iffy. I’ve considered getting a MacMini to act as an in-house

What kind of machine do you have running that? My attempts at local have always resulted in a very hot lap

For doing what?

It’s a mix. Partially a systems problem. We used to have that problem, then we changed the way work is selected. Sales is part of the process, so they’re forced to see all the thin…

I work at a 6 year old startup. Essentially every feature and bug fix we’ve shipped in the last year has had LLMs involved. Every project plan involved AI, either for writing or fo…

That’s an interesting question, in particular because I don’t think I have a single example

I’ve used it for several improvements to our wysiwyg. I was able to refactor to a much more cohesive architecture that is making future work much easier/safer. We got a fzf like se…

jj required a very weird mind shift in how I work, but since it’s clicked I’d never go back. Occasionally it makes easy things a bit awkward, but the amount of hard things it makes…

That’s not what this is though.

Do you self host chat?

I don’t know if Gitlab is an industry standard, but I’ve never heard of Forgejo. I worked for a headless CMS company and the only three providers we ever had requests for were GitH…

I just hit my Claude Max limit for the first time _ever_ thanks to workflows lol Like 90 agents ran to do a code review of a fairly small package I have. They're really looking for…

I feel like using $1.3M/year is a wild outlier. A $200/month Max sub is a pretty cheap way to get quite a lot of benefit.

I’ve recently switched to jj and it is truly amazing. It too about a week for me to “get it”. The tool is amazing but I think there’s way too much emphasis on what it does/allows r…

It did for sure. And Tailwind absolutely doesn’t need to be done this way. I think this is a correlation-not-causation issue

Same here. It’s super weird take to me now. Maybe if you’re just writing plain HTML and CSS tailwind would be worse, but assuming there’s a component system you’re going to be just…

We use tailwind and are capable of building accessible websites without any issue. People could make all the same mistakes with CSS for accessibility. It’s the not knowing how to m…

KFC in Japan is not fair.

But I have a workflow I like with git and I can’t see how jj would be better. I’m genuinely curious as to whether it would be or not, but the behaviours people are describing are n…

There must be some kind of split in how people work or something. I’ve never had the desire to jump around the git tree. I never squash commits. I basically never stash changes. Al…

Okay but why would they use jj when they do trunk-based dev

Where X = something I’ve never wanted to do

I’m not a fit expert by any means. The workflows being described do not appeal to me but not because of the way fit works. They sound confusing and I don’t understand what benefit …

Yeah I legit do not understand the appeal. I’m willing to be wrong but it’s not clicking with me at all
