I love this question. If history is a guide, some version of that is what will happen (employment doesn't seem to go down, despite technological progress and population + economic …

I do the same, but delegate to codex instead via the /smux skill. It's expensive, but I get one long-running Claude context window and one frequently compacting codex, and this sav…

1. A compiler for real-time tensor processing (arbitrary DSP, ML). In something like LISP or Haskell, the goal is to compile lambda calculus for fast/reliable execution—as such, yo…

Nice work. Excited to check this out.

Arrived at a version of this view as well and building one on Elixir/Ash.

Ah, interested to dive in—and have a project it could integrate with. I built a similar thing recently, for agents, aimed at enabling prolog queries over handles in markdown corpor…

I suspect most people don't even know there's a there there. For instance, while I now know that file systems have permissions, before I became a programmer, I spent maybe ten year…

I mean, fair—it's a possibility. But what are we to do with a point of view that admits no positive outcome?

I don't completely disagree, but that's not the entire story, and the efforts of those who fought for good outcomes matter profoundly. For instance, we do in fact have global, effe…

Yes, I agree, but the relevant debate isn't "pro vs anti-AI." That's a fight only one side can win. The relevant debate is: "human empowerment vs disempowerment". It's still a long…

Sadly, I think this is true, and it's starting to seem like my own personal political imperative is to remind people that AI can be insanely personally empowering. Many people arou…

> "…we will inquire into something, but we will not grasp it, if in some way we depart from ourselves and from our own nature…" Beautifully ironic, that we find this message.

Curious about the perspective from anyone who has a skill set / reputation where finding jobs is easy right now. I imagine people in ML or who've found a good way to demonstrate pr…

Opus 3.x building me a productivity system with Obsidian MCP originally. Next was discovering "create a mathematical model of the problem and derive the solution as a result" type …

My intuitions for using Elixir: - Durable, 'enterprise grade' software patterns are baked into the runtime and into common, stable libraries that everyone uses - You can use Ash, w…

Rust, Elixir, and Go are the way to go for LLMs in my testing and experience, for this and other reasons

Do the forms etched into stone by weather over millennia in Moab matter to the wind? Certainly yes, in one sense, but not in the same sense we mean when we say things matter to us,…

Not optimizing for that. I derive "10x" more satisfaction, because I'm able to work on more ambitious problems. I'm probably making less money than I would otherwise.

I work on self-directed projects that don't make any money, currently. My "day job" (not software development) does not have this '10x' quality, though I imagine it could were I al…

Not publicly yet, but I work on a programming language, compiler, and runtime that achieves magical (to me) things in a niche field. I would never have attempted something at this …

I think it's just hard to know this for the people working on it. AI radically changed my life. I'm doing at least 10 times more, more ambitious, higher quality work. I've been lis…

I've yet to come across something with vim bindings that lacks a .vimrc where you can map 'jk'. Either way, switching back to ESC is as annoying as it is in the first place.

"jk" is even faster (you get to "roll" your fingers)

Thank you! I'm writing an APL-lineage language right now (really, APL+Prolog+Lustre "lineage") and hadn't come across this paper. I found an HTML version here: https://www.jsoftwar…

I did an exhaustive comparison of window managers and settled on using Raycast for simple resizing (full screen, center, mid-size centered, 1/2, 1/3, 2/3 left/right) + FlashSpace[1…
