Not sure how you're missing it. He's making a distinction between the concept of a Project and a Product. I agree with the distinction and he seems to be saying that the author has…

Thank you.. Good luck, cuh!

Absolutely ABSOLUTELY love the idea and the first thought I had was Virtual Desktops! If that's a correct way to think about it then I can absolutely see myself using each tile (De…

I kno you're not suggesting the visual system would drive coding at all or that it'd be a way to visually code (see: scratch). You seem to mean it as a visualization of the current…

No, it's called not throwing more shit at an already shitty wall just to add feature x_2.

Thank you soo much!

Looove your kitten... How could I make one? I'm basically asking permission before I go raid your elements (inspect site)

yaaay... More fuzzy 'me vs them'-ism.

I see your angle now. Thanks for the conversation!

Yeah you're right. It's an oversimplification to say components in physical engineering domains have no memory. I was thinking about how logic gates are reasoned about. But that's …

'in->func()->out' work cleanly for physical engineering domains because blocks of computations (or functions) have no memory basically. There's no DB and there's usually no global …

Yes! That's exactly true. I have a very real experience on this. I got introduced to Anthropic's family of models with Claude3.5. I fell in love with the specific personality of So…

*siiiighhh... Slop automation. Removing self from loop, automating brainstorming. It's madness. No way that code is any good, shippable beyond 2 users or even maintainable beyond a…

This is really interesting 'vibe research'. I also really like the term as well, it points to how much more easy exploration has become with these tools. Anyway, this idea of conte…

I think I come at this from a very different angle. I grew up around books, so I default pretty hard to being reader-first. I don’t really factor in the author’s effort when I deci…

I really REALLY enjoyed this article and the direction it took me in. I went in with zero preconceptions, just read it straight through, and only after opening the comments did I r…

lol but you have to first 'view' something as replaceable before yu try to replace it, no? So companies DO see SWEs as cogs and try but fail to actually make them replaceable, yes?…

>If all that mattered was the code and the systems, and people were cogs that produced code that businesses wanted to optimise, then none of these actions make sense. No, No... Of …

I think your view is sentimental. For businesses the code usually IS the value, and devs ARE human resources that produce code. It sounds cynical, but it’s basically how most orgs …

>Disclaimer: Creation of this file was AI-assisted. If you thought I was going to write out a .md file for AI myself you must be mad. AI for AI. Human for Human. 'you must be mad'.…

This is absurd! The author raised money without a concrete execution plan, treating capital as permission to “think,” and then panicked when thinking alone didn’t magically turn in…

Looks like a great application of the Titans and Miras paper published by Google research a year ago. You seem to be facing a problem of what to learn during 'sleep'. The paper has…

>About 20 years ago, I tried to found a startup. The ideas were good, and the team was good, but the execution was awful, and while we almost raised some money, we didn’t quite get…
