LLM evals are well established, are these not applicable here?

if you work on platforms, frameworks, tools that are public knowledge, then yeah. If there’s nothing unique to your project or how to write code in it, build it, deploy it, operate…

The only way Claude can help improve your code cleanliness is if you write poor code? Code coverage means nothing if you didn't carefully check every test? "and if everything was t…

Heck yeah! Love that way of putting it. Agree. Now there’s more time to focus on making the right architecture and carrying it out. It’s no longer a days long task to do a big refa…

I agree some people go to work to work, and claude is find / good for them, but I feel that characterization of us who are loving claude is disingenuous. I’m a creative, while I lo…

“As a designer…” IMHO the bleeding edge of what’s working well with LLMs is within software engineering because we’re building for ourselves, first. Claude code is incredible. Wher…

It’s also a description of why native wasn’t chosen from the get go. This thread is people who ship products vs people who ship engineering.

The companies do pay a cost — lost users and revenue due to the downsides. But they’ve determined that this cost isn’t meaningful enough to write performant native platform specifi…

Yeah but if something stays in Electron 10 years later then either it’s not successful enough to warrant the cost of a rewrite or the payoff of the rewrite isn’t a good trade off. …

Gotta love engineers. 45 minutes of reading 12 years of someone’s work and the first thing they say is “yeah I’d rewrite it”. Every. Dang. Engineer. It’s crazy. I try to work in a …

Was on a team this happened on and a lot of the l4 l5 Eng gossiped about how little our L7 knew

I don’t agree because not all interviews work that way, especially for teams that write cpp and c — they don’t let candidates interview in JS for instance. I had a high level eng j…

You get massive DoS attacks pretty regularly? State sponsored hackers?

While I see your point, a lot of invention happened when someone ignored conventional wisdom and others’ failures.

Got any links to reading on this? You piqued my interest. > Personally, I find his thinking savagely brutally straight to the point and cuts through cultural rust we've built up in…

I believe there are good losers who are winners, but Brady is not a good loser.

Facebook and Google don’t expect 80 weeks and they do leet code interviews. I’d think most people do 40 hour weeks there.

There’s probably better code writing interviews to be conducted, but I think writing code in an interview is important. I’ve conducted many interviews in C where the candidate has …

Yeah FAANG have those type of interviews too.

Spoiler: it’s not top tier.

What’s the pay for someone with 10-15 years experience and is “the best people”?

Hi, I’ve worked for two of FAANG, it’s super duper easy to work outside of SV. The reason you sound salty is because you evaluate candidates based on whatever perception you have a…

If you’re struggling I don’t think you should try to memorize leet code problems, you should try to understand how to apply algorithms.

High wages won’t impact a housing market with infinite supply but that’s not reality. When there’s a lack of supply then the top earners set the market. When top earners make more …
