    You can play with it online. I was pretty impressed with the speed/quality given it's size. It's definitely not going to replace a larger frontier model, but it's worth keeping an …

    I don't use them as coding agents, but they can be very useful for things like text transformation, summarizing, or text extraction. That said, if you have a subscription to a paid…

    TIL about `gum`. I love this and endeavor to integrate it into something sometime. Thank you for mentioning it!

    They might have opinions about it, but look at the pay for frontend engineers at the same company. It's not uncommon to see the same seniority be 20% lower than a backend role.

    I see a lot of people say you have to use methodology X, or that methodology Y is worthless. I'm the end, I think we have maybe different uses for notes. Journaling, scratchpads, t…

    Looks great on mobile in portrait mode. Bonus points for the audio.

    I think you're operating in a scale that is small enough that there's little risk. You'll be able to iterate if you run into anything that doesn't work. You should however be clear…

    That seems like a reasonable tradeoff, thanks.

    Bun ships with lots of tools built in. It has support for bundling js, html, etc for the browser. I suspect that if you want the best results or to hit all the edge cases you'd sti…

    Thank you. This looks like a nice improvement on pgtyped, and another good option. I'm curious if there are any good patterns for dealing with dynamic query building or composing q…

    Out of curiosity, the post you linked mentions that it won't work for renames. What's the approach for these and other types of procedural migrations, such as data transformations …

    Seems great for really small apps where you want your resource definitions colocated with the code using them. I'd imagine the benefits start to break down as your infrastructure g…

    I think the make in the title is a bit misleading, the author is actually just advocating for having a consistent file you use for adhoc scripting and testing in your application. …

    I think it really depends on how teams use their estimates. If you're locking in an estimate and have to stick with it for a week or a month, you're right, that's terrible. If you …

    I did too, and I've had a challenging time convincing people outside of those ecosystems that this is possible, reasonable, we've been doing it for over a decade.

    I worked on a product that was built around planning an estimation with ranged estimates (2-4h, 1-3d, etc) 2-12d conveys a very different story than 6-8d. Are the ranges precise? N…

    It natively supports vector embeddings, which seems like it could be nice. The sqlite extensions I've tried for vector embeddings have been a challenge to get working (may just be …

    Hands down one of my favorite series. It's inventive, cynical, wry, dark, and entirely engrossing. If you enjoy him, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the Dogs of War series (1…

    I'll bet you could take a relatively tiny model and get it to translate the transcribed "git force push" or "git push dash dash force" into "git push --force". Likewise "cd home sl…
