> The Maverick is actually the size of an F150 from 1990. Similar to how the Colorado/Ranger today is the size of a full size truck in the 2000's A 13th gen RCSB F-150 is only mode…

This reductionism doesn't seem useful. The population of people who want to buy homes has not grown in any way that is proportional to the cost of a home.

In my neck of the woods (New England), home prices have doubled since March of 2020. I have yet to read a comprehensive overview of how this happened and how we get out of it. Of c…

I don't think the writing style has anything to do with AI, it's just a writer without an editor.

Zed is nice, but the project wide search (sidebar based) in VS Code and diff viewer in VS Code are still better IMO and unfortunately since I no longer code, those are my most used…

> Small world. Indeed. I lived there for 4-5 years and left right before they started tearing down Fry Street. At that time I could see Bill Callahan at Rubber Gloves for 5 dollars…

No, it was around but it was probably just Stroh's in the can at that point. I drank a ton of it at a dollar a can in the early 00's (RIP J&J's Pizza, Denton, TX). This would have …

This is actually kind of validating. I work for a company that spends almost 1mm a year on GCP. We've never had an actual support contract with them because the numbers work out to…

Assuming we are talking about Code/Codex are you on API billing or subscription? I have essentially unlimited API billing at my disposal and I haven't noticed any degradation of qu…

Yep, I timed the top of the market perfectly and cashed out 5 BTC at ~$80/BTC.

Parent didn't say Claude Code is best at anything?

If you are working with AI to define the purpose and goal of the change -- which is to say planning how the changes to the code should result in some sort of feature/bugfix/whateve…

And yet you are citing some concrete report you aren't sharing. The problem with your original comment is you scoped it to subscribers (which I assume is how this unshared report w…

Stripe uses Sorbet which, in my experience, increases LOC.

Sorry I wasn't very clear about that part. I think success conditions are described by stakeholders, whoever that is, and then the implementation of monitoring them is probably cre…

> 2. AI doesn't need to be perfect, just "good enough", whatever that means for a specific project. More failures while saving hundreds of thousands dollars each year might be acce…

> Just as "use code for contracts" failed for crypto currencies, "use AI output as prod" will fail for AI. Both is based on "just don't make catastrophic mistakes anymore". What I …

> more disciplined and enforce rigour Eventually this will be automated as well. Discipline, rigor and correctness are not strictly human tasks.

I certainly think that is true of the current moment, but where I think this is going is towards a model where the cost of human labor collapses, feature delivery slows (relative t…

FAs have very interesting schedules. As they work up seniority they have a ton of flexibility in how they space apart their required minimum number of shifts/overnights. Trading sh…

IMO, by the time todays juniors would have 5-10 years of expected experience, the entire field will be something different altogether. Language choice distribution will collapse (i…
