Not OP, but I assume he means the Boris Cherny, the guy who made Claude code and is a micro-celebrity in certain developer circles now because of it.

I’m sorry, but so few of these urban environments are affordable with good schools. I lived in Philadelphia and we chose to leave when our son was young because the schools general…

This is so interesting to me, I frequently experience compaction on long running features and still find Claude is better than starting with fully fresh prompts. Every dev seems to…

They’re being tested in Philly right now too

I just want to say, thank you for writing these every year, particularly with so much transparency into your life, finances, and feelings. I can’t believe I’ve been reading these n…

That was a really nice read, thank you.

Not OP but Nassim Taleb was written a lot about basically this

I’ve been following you on X since your account was randomly shown to me. Your story is really cool, but also is your product. I’m working on my own LLM context problem as a side p…

Any rough guess the min income to raise a kid in manhattan nowadays?

I lived in Raleigh and then Charlotte about a decade ago and can’t picture living in those places without a car. That said, I may be out of date on what it’s like there now. Would …

I appreciate the suggestions, thank you. I actually grew up in Ohio and know the cities there well. They’re just too small and public transit leaves a lot to be desired. To me, the…

Is it possible to get a 3 bedroom place that isn’t terrible on one FAANG salary?

Has anyone raised kids in a big, walkable city in the US? London? Elsewhere? My wife and I lived in downtown Philadelphia for >10 years, but moved to the suburbs after having kids.…

I have a recruiter screening today with Meta. Any tips?

I currently work at a company who is primarily writing in Scala. I really like Scala but assume my next role won’t be in that. Are my two best options Rust and Java if I want to ke…

Not OP, but that’s really neat. What’s your process for that? What IDE for the coding? Is C# required? What software for the art?

Sorry to hijack this thread a bit, but I currently work at a Scala shop and have grown to like writing it. I worked at Clojure heavy place previously. This tool looks neat. Has any…

Without more context, it kind of just feels like signaling that the founders can tout to peers and investors. So the the benefit is accreted in a prestige and respect way, now actu…

I’ve lived in OH, PA, and NC outside of major cities and none were like that

Has any non-lawyer here had success if either sending a large corporation a demand letter or actually taking them to small claims court? Do I need a lawyer for this? This is in the…

I find the “it’s not fair to service workers” incredibly unconvincing. There’s lots of things that tech workers get that service workers don’t. Better pay, better flexibility with …

Honestly, I moved to the suburbs and hate it with a passion. I miss density, I miss city noise, and I miss the unquantifiable energy I get from a city. This thread has been an inte…

I’ve done this too as someone diagnosed with a lot of daytime sleepiness. Any worry about longterm effects of nicotine? I’ve tried to find good studies online but most center aroun…

*young kids lol Hell of a typo

I’ve had two sleep studies. I have once been diagnosed with type 2 narcolepsy and then later as my sleep hygiene improved that was changed to idiopathic hypersomnia. I don’t have s…
