About soneca

I have a newsletter with writing advice for software developers: https://writingfordevelopers.substack.com/

It's semi-paused right now, but I am wondering if I should make it active again. If you like it, I would appreciate your feedback.

    Keep the phone still after throw and then move down when the sound is getting loud again (the sound is to mimic the parable I think)

    Well, practice to get better at writing (and, therefore, judging writing) yourself. It seems obvious. Your skills are not frozen in time and set in stone.

    Oh, that is happening a lot to me and I wasn’t sure if it was only me! A lot, I mean, about 80% of my ”não” (I speak Portuguese) are becoming just ”na” . And about 50% of my ”mais”…

    They are 18+ at Angel Academy, right? I would say they are a lot older than 11, 14, and 15. One year I think is a lot of development in the teens. Doesn't seem a fair comparison

    I am in favor of not making comments about suspicious posts off-topic. Votes and comments is the natural way that all disputes are handled in this forum. The [-] button is a pretty…

    I was told that the main reason the “Who is hiring?” thread (and other job boards for startups) has much fewer remote positions that are global (the vast majority is Remote US now)…

    Got stuck in that one too because I mistranslated vegetables. In my mind, they were all vegetables, since they are no animals or minerals. As it would be in Portuguese. Edit: think…

    I definitely did not see that coming. In my mind, foldable phones were the 3D TV of the phones. Interesting development though. Nice to see something that is both cool looking and,…

    I think the most interesting part is that, in AI, software does not have zero marginal cost anymore. You can’t build once and scale to billions just investing in infrastructure. St…

    But Asimov’s short stories weren’t a serialized novel from the start. They were individual short stories that he later combined with small changes to form novels. It’s different fr…

    Yes, definitely. I would love for xkcd to redraw the “compiling” one with ”My AI code agent is thinking of a solution” https://xkcd.com/303/

    The (1928) is part of the title of the article, not the usual HN practice of dating an article. The article itself seems to be very recent. Another note is that the word “canibal” …

    Do you think Atkinson Hyperlegible specifically hurts readability? I am thinking about the regular one on text, not mono on code.
