    Some of the pre-ai decline in questions might just be that they had filled out of alot of the question space. What might be more interesting is the traffic graph as it would be pos…

    I think it was different pre-AI. Someone might come in and spend days getting some understanding of the codebase before they contribute some minor fix. Over time they might stick a…

    It is the least reliable piece of software I have ever used. While I was still using it I got into states that were completely broken and the easiest way to get out was to wait for…

    Assignments the agent is bad at seems like a losing battle. Just need to base the mark off the in person test, maybe keep 20-30% to encourage people to still do the assignments. So…

    0.2% of google users try out duck duck go after google pushes more AI doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

    They appear to be lining up a funding round at a $900 billion dollar valuation. Or to be more conservative they already raised at $380 billion. A long way from worthless.

    To be fair the commit message `revert proc.exited change in spawn.test.ts` suggests the sleep was there originally.

    Would you say the same thing for teaching math or music?

    I had a surprisingly large amount of issues getting it to correctly message me on discord if needed as part of heartbeat. Multiple times it broke and we fixed it. Then it was chewi…

    Nice, too much stability though compare to Lunar Lander.

    Yeah and updating profile image, profile description and description for work history. Almost no one that isn't looking around for a job does this.

    Youtube shorts will come back but you can just click the row each time to show less. Otherwise if you really don't want to see them on the desktop at least a browser extension work…

    Block reportedly handed out a bunch of incentives to the people staying, could be similar to that.

    My experience recently was something like 2/3 from referrals (the third I think will eventually get back to me but way too slow), and something like 3/10 from cold applications. Ob…

    As a candidate I don't mind doing a few highly speculative interviews. After not interviewing for a while it is good practice.

    From applying places recently I'd much rather get these fast. One company sent me them, the rest either reached out or I never heard from them.

    The key requirement is memory safety, which would rule out Zig.

    Yeah, Serenityos was build everything from scratch for fun. Ladybird is build where an alternative implementation is going to add value. No need to get sidetracked reinventing SSL …

    Highly valuable right now with how high leverage it can make a good engineer. Who knows for how long.

    I think discord became popular in the first place because it was so much better than the alternatives, at least for the gaming/ hanging out with friends use case. Discord was initi…

    Not easy though, the US has to basically allow it.

    Assuming these end up in open source code llms will learn about them that way.

    And assuming people want deeper integration is the browser even the right level of abstraction? Arguably it would be better to have something that was operating at the OS level, li…
