This is a great point, one that I think is reinforced by the fact that these models (at least so far) arn't being trained and benchmarked on "good writing". Which in and of itself …

as a consumate obsidian note taker i've found that as asking questions to a quick model and have it challenge me with leading questions has helped me refine my writing to be more u…

That would be awesome to see! If there was some prize pool like $5,000 to build an operating system through vibe coding tools only and then people could stream themselves on twitch…

What about it has burnt you out? That should direct where you go next

At my very large enterprise, a managers job is not to "promote and demote" it's to "get you where you want to be". That requires you to know your direction (to the article) but imp…

These takes feel like a failure compared to my daily usage, which is literally non-stop for ten hours a day. Want to construct a niche jq, curl, or find linux command? Can't rememb…

Amen - As a SWE and i've come to realize that no one pays for me to treat code as craftman quality so I don't. The whole agile mindset is get something out that demonstrates value …

can I get a ELI10 on this - If I host a mastodon server, would I need to run this software along side it then and then everyone on my server could see these other platforms posts a…

i find tech hobbies fun because so may of the hard skills are transferable so i'm never starting from scratch, aka the hardest parts of a new hobby. however, this is the trap i alw…

do you find that the side projects are for: fun, learning, or some external pressure like the parent suggested? what I find is that picking up a new hobby causes me a lot of mental…

this is really insightful, i am nearing ten years as SWE - i've always loved passion projects and learning outside of work. This has historically got me really far in my career. Ho…

I completely agree with the sentiment. The catch here is that, unlike software in the past, there's (at least in America) ALOT of money on the line with software these days that at…

Do you have any tips for practicing this? I feel like I often "take the oxygen out of the room" when I offer suggestions or get talking. Conversely when I bite my tongue (or just u…

as someone who spent a few years really addicted to stims but eventually got clean, when I started having problems at work with focus and attention, I decided that I didn't want to…

Out of curiosity, given it is a spectrum, what's at the other end of "really" autisitc (if that's even the right word) or does that just go from 0 being "normal" to 1 being that "r…

Curious at how people are using vectordbs at an enterprise level. Let's say you have a team of 5 data scientists/developers who are working on a collection of GenAI features/toolin…

I notice a lot of XY problems with GenAI if you're not careful. Thus I can picture more senior engineers writing (with GenAI) really specific business requirements as unit tests wi…

I've really been playing with the idea of getting into trying to mod Valheim.

do you have any reading material on that? I just finished a two month deep dive into kubernetes for work and i'm really curious on what's next.

> my disillusionment with work, deteriorating relationships and steady decline in my ability to carry out daily tasks weren’t signs of a personal lack of interest or effort, but an…

So... I should buy a house now despite how "terrible" the market is? 8% interest rates seem like a terrible time to buy. But it sounds like they're going to keep increasing.

> imagine all the time you'd spend working on your craft in your own free time to better yourself and learn new skills now imagine using that time to do all those things and learn …

This is sarcasm right?

Someone already pointed out the obvious, meat tastes good, but has some ethical baggage. Ala - fake meat. But I think as you're pointing out, people around the world have made amaz…

Because data "is the new oil" and those titles are considered cost jobs not revenue jobs. source: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2011/10/28/dont-call-yourself-a-pr...
