Seems unlikely. We're already seeing specialized hardware optimized for LLM performance (taalas, groq, cerebras), and simple economies of scale result in these sorts of products be…

I dealt with eye strain that would bother me for hours after I stopped working. Improving the lighting around my desk basically solved it for me.

I give my agents read permissions to all repos related to a given repo. Add a bit of context to AGENTS.md or equivalent and they do just fine with understanding service boundaries.…

Re: excessive useEffects, this article from React docs is great: https://react.dev/learn/you-might-not-need-an-effect Re: unrefactorable, large components, you probably want to bre…

React + ReactDOM adds ~50kb to a production bundle, not even close to a couple of mbs. React with any popular routing library also makes it trivial to lazy load js per route, so ev…

AI is great at any styling solution via system prompt + established patterns in codebase. Tailwind is just slightly more convenient since it's consistent and very popular.

Arthritis is a general term; need narrow down for useful advice on managing symptoms. Two most common types are osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear associated with aging and/or injuries)…

I did not mean to suggest that our motives were purely humanitarian. As I understand it there are numerous geopolitical implications with Venezuela, from China's loans-for-oil rela…

My read of your argument: international law says don't intervene in foreign government, and by intervening we legitimize future violence. I'm not sure this argument makes sense. Ma…

I'm with a company that was acquired by IBM ~2.5 years ago. The internal systems are definitely rough, but for the most part it's business as usual. I've heard chatter from our eng…

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." You are free to interpret the score within the broader context of your own experience, the problem domain your co…

That's fine, but it shouldn't be enforced on all contributors. What matters is that failures don't get merged, not that they don't get committed.

Can't stand pre-commit hooks. I want zero delay on commits. Checks can be run against pull requests in a GitHub action runner; no reason to force me to run them on my machine.

Thank you. If we prosecuted scientists for a drug as well tolerated as finasteride we would cease to develop new medication and all of humanity would be worse for it. If there was …

Additionally, the kind of person who would reach for prescription medication vs accepting hair loss may be predisposed to depression. I.e. this may be selecting for people who stru…

No need to contemplate platonic ideals; we've all experienced code that is relatively easy to read and modify, performs well, handles error well, etc. The author's definition of ta…

Microsoft is not an abusive employer. Most people today or at any point in human history would envy the typical Microsoft job. Pretty much all large tech companies are similar in t…

Gotcha. I'm unfamiliar with LiveKit and React native so appreciate your clarifications. You've convinced me that your grievances are legit haha.

You can't use their js sdk? https://github.com/livekit/client-sdk-js

You don't have to use their hooks! Looking at your pastebin link, I would probably opt for something like a factory pattern instead: https://pastebin.com/PbnBqX4a Just because you'…

It's hard to build non-trivial web UI with any technology—React is just what's familiar. If Angular had won (god forbid) we'd be seeing all the same articles written about how bad …
