> Hustle-culture optimizes for work input because it's sexy. It's easy to post the inputs. It's hard to face the output. Hustling is sexy insofar as the output is sexy imo. What hu…

My ChatGPT simply says: > Yes. The current year is 2025, so 2026 is next year.

Travelling to a 3rd world country with genuinely poor people can help, a bit. When you see the houses genuinely poor people live in, it purs things into perspective. Being in appar…

Missing!! They should've translated `let` to `le` and `la`.

Depends on the scope. Simple things might be docstrings or sections in READMEs, bigger things issues/tickets or a page on Notion/Google Docs or whatever you use; overview there or …

The biggest political capital that you can build up is your technical understanding & skills. But they are only useful insofar as you put them into the context of the broader compa…

Cursor does this for me already all the time though, give that another shot maybe. For refactoring tasks in particular; it uses regex to find interesting locations , and the other …

What is "understanding code", mental model of the problem? These are terms for which we all have developed a strong & clear picture of what they mean. But may I remind us all that …

It would be possible if you had a matrix of speakers covering all walls & ceiling. In that scenario you could control the entire sound landscape across the board, and cancel out or…

This already exists. Look at cursor with Linear, you can just reply with @cursor & some instructions and it starts working in a vm. You can watch it work on cursor.com/agents or us…

Awesome question!

You can tell chatgpt to notify you when something changes about something, and tell it how often it should check. It currently sends you a notif even if nothing changes, but that's…

Basically yes, but I do hear nuance, idk if it's right - "try and" feels more daring, like "I think you can't", while "try to" feels more neutral, just a command.

Meanwhile, Safari asks you if you want to close Netflix, while you're watching Netflix, because it uses too much power.

There's studies showing that LLM makes experienced devs slower in their work. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same for self study. However consider the extent to which LLMs m…

I'm second language too, so I checked the article, and it seems fine otherwise apart from the title; I'd expect the title to get extra care. Anyway it's flagged anyway.

Why so many articles have grammatically incorrect headlines?

I quickly worked at a company like that, that had large parts of their core business logic running on an AS400, and they were asking what they need to do to migrate to something ne…

I would go so far as to say that the reason people feel LLMs have stagnated is precisely because they feel like they're only progressing a few percentage points between iteration -…

But that's how progress works! To me it makes sense that llms first manage to do 80% of the task, then 90, then 95, then 98, then 99, then 99.5, and so on. The last part IS the har…

Talented people don't have to go through as much embarrassment as others because they learn faster than normal & will impress through that, even if they're worse at what they're do…

Not sure what you mean, cursor has agents, that run in feedback cycles, checking e.g syntax errors before continuing, reflecting, working for minutes if need be, can execute comman…

I wish they'd port the windows terminal to linux. It somehow allows to use ctrl + c for both cancelling processes and copying text. I'm still sometimes opening dev tools in chrome …

Not sure if that transfers to compressed music in general. If even the non-compressed guinea pigs had hearing loss, that suggest the level of 102dB, though below the legal safety l…
