    It’s not equal amount of time though. You don’t need to support all the other customers, and you also have the exact apis and their usage. Telling Claude to “reimplement” something…

    Yeah but depends how you use it - with superpowers and it’s prevalence of splitting things into smaller focused subagents - this could seriously reduce costs … I wish my company ga…

    Getting on and off fable this week has been quite interesting. For my personal work stream (big terraform monorepo, hundreds of states) I’ve using mostly superpowers to do heavy / …

    I’ve found that Claude is really good at picking up tone of voice in prompts / queries. If I go “find issues in this code” it will hallucinate some, but if I say “can you check the…

    Ha! It’s silly easy for me to bum in the “premium” tier - the highest one my employer is able to select for me. With proper skills and validations, it’s quite easy for me to spin o…

    Yeah but I think going back to hand writing bespoke code is not coming back, the genie is out of the bottle. But we could build much better tooling around keeping the agents honest…

    I just eat double portion at dinner, and then nibble on snacks before bed - I haven’t had breakfast in decades, then since I moved to India, with the carby nature of the food it wa…

    Exactly - I had switched to a one meal per day setup and have been mostly following it for a few years. Then after a routine “heart health” check all my indicators were super out o…

    Sad they didn’t finish it. The later books seemed like they were written “to be movies/series” with less political stuff and more visuals / speculative sci-fi. Plus the story has a…

    I really liked reading through the Mars trilogy. It imagined a world where AI is used for fluent effortless translation - local languages get a renaissance since now you _dont_ nee…

    This article kind of misses the point - of course everyone’s average day is … average. But locals don’t spend all of their days like this, sometimes (once a week/month/year) they w…

    But isn’t AI doing the same thing to project management as to coding? PMs can now cross reference and organize tickets with just a few keystrokes. Organisational knowledge, busines…

    Thanks for the recommendations - I’m also big fan of 3blue1brown and PBS science, but as a recent dad am on lookout for content for my son to watch when he comes of that age - he’s…

    I’ve noticed that agents almost always fail at the planing vs execution stage. I follow the plan -> red/green/refactor approach and it is surprisingly good, and the plans it produc…

    Yes, but the YouTube ed channels are such a treasure in and of itself. We had the “tech” to produce content like this for almost a century, but it took the Internet and democratiza…

    What the author is missing is that in his decision to limit the use of LLMs in his work, he omits the part where he “can”. E.g. he is resourceful and accomplished enough to be able…

    I think the right term for highways or most other car roads is “car sewer” - you need very specialised equipment to navigate them, they are deadly, smelly, loud and unpleasant. One…

    I had fun “hacking” my router that turned out to be just unzipping the file with slight binary modifications, it was so simple in fact I just implemented it in a few lines of js, e…

    Capital in the 21 century, how to win and influence people, Sidhartha, meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the mars trilogy, the nurture revolution. These are off the top of my head. T…

    “The weirdest people in the world” - has a very good roots cause analysis of all this. Basically banding into groups and guarding against outsiders is the default human behaviour. …

    We did a similar Claude code mandate a few weeks ago. Motivation was people being so allergic to tests and automation, that making them use superpowers produced better code, but al…

    IRGS domestic propaganda has always been that US is a military murderous malevolent regime, mercilessly going after their land and their children. With just a little bit of propaga…

    Is this the “city experience” in general or specifically for the United States? It famously has very poor urbanism so might not mean the same as in Europe for example. I have grown…

    Is it worth the price of energy sovereignty though? You are not just buying electricity, you are buying future independence. It might be worth it if you factor that in. And don’t f…

    Also it has interceptors, which allow you to build easily reusable pieces of code - loggers, oauth, retriers, execution time trackers etc. These are so much better than the interfa…
