> There are surely cases where having an interface as an abstraction and multiple implementations makes sense. I think most people aren't aware of the alternative, which is: A func…

Even in memory safe Rust, out-of-bounds array access also results in crashes. The whole point of memory safety is that bugs can not be exploited. A memory safe program does not mea…

To me this looks like a cool demo product. Yet, the problem it's solving could be equally solved by a well integrated all-in-one business suite. I don't run a small business myself…

Not my app. Saw it online and found it funny. I'm #27

In the recent Dwarkesh Podcast episode Jensen Huang (Nvidia) said that virtually nobody but Anthropic uses TPUs. How does that add up?

That's completely relatable, and also a major point in my original argument. Using heavily abstracted frameworks will automatically cap you performance wise. The only way out is to…

Nobody expects you to know that, but I'm curious to hear how do you know it for backend code but not frontend code. Have any examples?

It's not too diffcut in the browser either. Consider how often you're making copies of your data and try to reduce it. For example: - for loops over map/filter - maps over objects …

It always comes as a surprise to me how the same group of people who go out of their way to shave off the last milliseconds or microseconds in their tooling care so little about th…

> They use Claude to skip the typing, not the thinking. They're 10x faster than two years ago. I'm not sure a 10x increase in typing speed makes you a 10x developer.

I've raised this exact point to many team leads throughout my career. Yet, they unanimously said, they are interested or need to know the progress. I can't say if thats what they h…

For the handful of regularly visited websites, I wouldn't mind.

When I connect my server over SSH, I don't have to rotate anything, yet my connection is always secure. I manually approve the authenticity of the server on the first connection. F…

Perhaps our industry should adopt a different approach, that fills in the gap between those. - You host open-source software on your own hardware. - You pay a company for setup and…

> I saw from the SSD was around 800 MB/s (which doesn’t really make sense as that should give execution speeds at 40+ seconds, but computers are magical so who knows what is going …

> LLM-generated code should not be reviewed by others if the responsible engineer has not themselves reviewed it. To extend that: If the LLM is the author and the responsible engin…

That would be shared ownership again.

The fundamental problem here is shared memory / shared ownership. If you assign exclusive ownership of all accounting data to a single thread and use CSP to communicate transfers, …
