filter is also just filter in ruby - aliased as select (and find_all) on Enumerable.

> has Gas Town shipping something in public that can be evaluated without all of this surrounding hype and blogposting? No.

This post sets up a straw man from the outset, and only gets worse from there. I understand how we got here, where many experienced programmers, managers, and bloggers only know ca…

Bragging about loc was silly before ai. Now it’s not only silly, but also makes you look like a huge tool.

Wow. So much hate in the comments here. Of all the funding / equity events lately, I wonder how this one gets so much doubt and distrust from the start. If this isn’t something to …

Yeah /simplify is your friend. That and constrained prompts - “refactor x for simplicity - resulting diff must remove n lines of code. Dont change tests. “

Wait what. For real? I knew their security posture was bad, but this bad??

This has been the case for 15-20 years at least. It’s only now that the horrible experience for regular users is so obvious compared to Linux becoming quite good, and Mac OS rangin…

If you believe this has any long term staying power at MSFT, I have a bridge to sell you paid for with MSFT stock funded by quarterly earnings reports.

Yes. This. Too little too late MSFT. And it really comes down to $MSFT. If the stock keeps dropping, how long do you think any real commitment to “quality” for a boring, low(no?) r…

I’ve found LLM development expands the scope of what I can do to an absurd level. This is what exhausts me. My limits are now many of the same things that are have always been core…

Codex does something sorta magical where it auto compacts, partially maybe, when it has the chance. I don’t know how it works, and there is little UI indication for it.

No. Nope. Agents do just fine with all sorts of CLIs. Old standards, new custom stuff, whatever. The CLIs I’ve seen agents struggle with are those that wrap an enormous, unwieldy, …

he favors Codex? The original name of his ai assistant tool was 'clawdbot' until Anthropic C&D'ed him. All the examples and blog posts walking thru new user setup on a mac mini or …

> But on the nuclear issue, it's not a good sign that he's explicitly saying that this AGI future is a threat to nuclear deterrence and the triad. Like, where do you go up from the…

Also many CLIs act differently when invoked connected to a terminal (TUI/interactive) vs not. So you’d run into issues there where Claude could only test the non-interactive things…

Is there a term for AI-fueled dev psychosis? "AI architecture astronaut" ? There should be one if not. Or maybe just AI-fueled hucksterisim... I recognize 100% that a tool to manag…

The performance of hardware today is even more mind-boggling compared to what most people (SRE managers, devs, CTOs) are willing to pay for when it comes to cloud compute. even mor…

These exist, typically made by Panasonic or Sony, and cost upwards of 20k USD. HDTVtest has compared them to the top OLED consumer tvs in the past. Film studios use the reference m…

_low_type_ is early days still, but I think this approach is clearly the future of ruby typing. If this gets baked into the language for full “compile” time support and minimal per…

Yeah, this is very real, and I think it can inflict paralysis on programmers with a certain level of experience and 'i know better' syndrome. Or even a 'it _might_ be better' type …

It was really a blending of multiple genres. Was really ground breaking by for its time.

But …you have to give the MCP the creds somehow. Maybe it’s via a file on disk (bad), maybe via an env var (less bad). Maybe you do it via your password CLI that you biometricly au…

I think the answer is it doesn't fit in any definition of a _good_ monitoring stack, but we are stuck with it. It has largely become the blessed protocol, specification, and standa…

Did not feel LLM written to me - at least not overtly so. LLM editing/assisted perhaps? It was a fun little post that felt accurate (ie confirmed my own biases ;)) about the curren…
