This is like pre-LLM, you presenting a problem to the team, and they google and send you the top few links thinking they have found the solution and have done their job. I actually…

do you also have separate prompts for each domain (security, architecture etc?). would love to look into it if any part of it is open source

Once the plan stage is done is it fire-and-forget for you afterwards?

what a brilliant blog. the Lotus 1-2-3 screen brings so many memories of my childhood. My father was a power user of Lotus back in the late 80's. He extensively used it as his job …

I've faced the same but my conclusion is the opposite. In the past 6 months, all my code has been written by claude code and gemini cli. I have written code backend, frontend, infr…

For window management, Aerospace has been a game changer for me. I could never work with multiple monitors before that.

We switched to solar in 2021 expecting a 3.5-year payback. Electricity prices rose so fast that we recovered the investment in under two years. Also the national grid is notorious …

All these coding agent workflows really drive home how important a solid test suite is but who’s actually writing the tests? In my case Claude Code keeps missing key scenarios and …

Looks super interesting. Has anyone here tried a keyboard-first tiling window manager on macOS? Any recommendations?

Finally someone emphasized upon the cognitive load of AI-assisted coding. It definitely makes me faster but it's consistent prompt->code-review->prompt->code-review->scratch->promp…

We setup a solar on in our home in Pakistan back in 2023. Our primary driver was cost since it was getting extremely expensive during summers when the ACs were on. We expected to g…

Some feedback from our transition: - automated tests are the pre-req of feature flags. kindly make sure that you have good test coverage. otherwise the team loses confidence in cod…

Yes. Feature flags changed the mindset of my whole team. I absolutely love the fact that it pushes the whole team towards release-small-release-often mentality. It's a technical so…

In Safari you can set reader mode turned on for specified websites. I have done it for all the sites which I visit frequently. Unfortunately there is no way to to turn it on at glo…

Personally I learnt to be less judgmental of people. From media you compartmentalize everyone into neat little boxes to make sense of the world. We find other people's values ridic…

regarding local environments, have you faced performance issues? running 5-6 docker images (app,redis,db,mq etc) at the same time has been causing the machine to lag for us. most o…

It's a bit strange but for me Google's biggest pull is live scores. I follow cricket, tennis and football. And all the dedicated websites are heavy and slow (cricinfo, espn etc). G…

For me Hipmunk had the best calendar control. You could just type in your dates in pretty much any format and it was able to parse it. No need mess around with pop-ups and small bu…
