You just need good compaction and a memory system with decent project layout and documentation. If you don't have that 1M tokens won't really save you either.

Very eager to read through your code! I read the first version and incorporated several of its ideas into our own internal elixir agent framework. (We make use of your ReqLLM packa…

in mice

Most of the team uses: - Claude Code + worktrees (manual via small shell script) - A root guardrails directory with a README to direct the agent where to look for applicable rule f…

Yet another developer who is too full of themselves to admit that they have no idea how to use LLMs for development. There's an arrogance that can set in when you get to be more se…

Another way to look at this is that using LLMs and agents in your business function takes a while to master. It's a skill and it's a good move to push teams to incorporate AI into …

I live in Manhattan with a kid and I love not needing a car. I walk my daughter to school and I walk to work from there. It's great.

Funny. I lived in Seattle for 5 years before I moved to Sydney, where I lived for 5 years. That was a different era though, tech wasn't the industry it is now and the internet stil…

The Kiwis too have their own "invented the airplane" guy (Pearse?) Seems a lot was happening at that point in history.

This is beautiful.

It's more expensive because the tax treatment is better. You really have no idea what you're talking about.

If a city could grow economically by simply building more housing that would be quite the discovery. A perpetual motion machine!

What a weird argument. There are many, many apartments in New York that people want to live in so badly that they'll pay millions upon millions of dollars to do so.

If you've not read Absurdistan or Lake Success or any of Shteyngart's other novels, then you really should. He's one of our best living authors.

Check out Robert Anton Wilson (The Illuminatus Trilogy), you're in for a treat -- the references above were to Discordianism * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illuminatus!_Trilog…

1. You certainly need to know SQL 2. Composition is very different than concatenation and the differences become apparent as a project increases in complexity 3. I'd recommend chec…

I've been at it for a bit over 25 years as well and have worked on everything from telco billing projects to complex consumer applications. Query builders and ORMs are not the same…

Slonik does _not_ make it possible (let alone trivial) to write composable queries. You're just doing string concatenation and string concatenation will bite you when things get co…

I'm using kysely with a database that has quite a few complex functions, etc. Lots of queries that require CTEs and so on. It's fantastic. Type safety with the codegen is amazing a…

By the time they break them up search will be less relevant than ever. Barn door/horse, etc.

Had a flashback to twenty odd years ago in Sydney when there weren't enough Rubyists to get a reservation at the pub for a meetup so we had to team up with the Smalltalk guys. Ahhh…

I am not convinced by the utility in this case. I'm well aware of low code and no code problems, but I am less convinced that the same principles apply to LLM code generation. By a…

Software specification documents will, as they say, rise in status. The kind of specification outlined in this article misses the mark–why would we use anything but actual natural …

I have issues with that as well, started taking magnesium (both normal, elemental magnesium and magnesium l-threonate) and it's made a world of difference for me.

The sales pitch the manufacturers give is that L-Threonate is better at getting through the blood/brain barrier so it is more effective for stuff like sleep. I do notice a differen…
