Isn’t a cosine similarity over the text embeddings a much more effective way to handle categorization? The whole reason why embeddings work so well is because they encode the under…

This is a very cool idea. If it wasn’t .net, I would love to re-use it for my own use cases.

> The comments can be even more interesting and thought provoking than the post I love this ending. I don't agree with author's views. But the article is very coherent, thought pro…

Couldn't agree more. The opportunity cost of executing something is maintaining it. And that's where the real cost lies. Big companies won't execute our ideas because they need mai…

Having managed developers for over five years, I have seen two categories of devs (to simplify the argument, let's focus just on the smart ones): - one group loves to work independ…

True, there are people who are good with people. And they should totally become managers. But there are also the third kind: who like to design the systems and let them be built by…

Same level of engineer here - I feel that the importance of expertise has only increased, just that the language has changed. Think about the engineer who was an expert in Cobol an…

Yes, you are right: amongst the four points, migration is the most contentious one. You need to be fairly prudent about migration and depending on the project complexity, it may or…

Very valid point. I will lay down the facts for you: At my previous employer, I was generating $2.5million per year (revenue per employee). I didn't ship a single line of code. All…

I was at a big tech for last 10 years, quit my job last month - I feel 50x more productive outside than inside. Here is my take on AI's impact on productivity: First let's review w…

Your discord link doesn't seem to work. One basic question: As a hardware noob, where do I start? Maybe having a minimal getting started guide could really help. Nevertheless, the …

This is fantastic. The app is simple, useful and feels de-cluttered. Two of my feature requests: 1. Allow cmd+f search on the whole app - I wanted to search your post on the app bu…

This feature is very useful :)

This seems like a common problem. I am experimenting with how to consume less news (but still not miss the important bits). Built an agent that sends me daily summaries. And that's…

I spent a lot of time trying to understand the hiring process and how to make it more data driven. Just writing about it brought so much clarity to me. Thank you for all the suppor…

This is an awesome. I had a similar one: Convert the dense non-fiction books into something more readable. eg. SAPIENS vs UNSTOPPABLE US. But this makes me wonder: What is the barr…

After working at the same (big tech) company for nine years, I feel like an outlier. My career has had phases of intense hard work and periods of rest. However, my happiness was in…
