This bothered me at first but I think it's about ease of implementation. If you've built a good harness with access to lots of tools, it's very easy to plug in a request like "if the linked PR is approved, please react…
> We still start all workflows using the LLM, which works for many cases. When we do rewrite, Claude Code can almost always rewrite the prompt into the code workflow in one-shot. Why always start with an LLM to solve…
No, they've been doing "managing stacks of dependent pull requests" for a lot longer than AI code review. I've mostly been a happy user, they simplify a lot of the git pain of continually rebasing and the UI makes…
Bandwidth is the limiting factor in a lot of circumstances, and networks are very challenging to manage. Especially with an increasing number of users on mobile connections, reducing network usage can be the right call.…
Video encoding and decoding is expensive! Especially as cameras improve and users' expectations of quality increase.
On the other hand, tls/443 is pretty undesirable for media delivery in videoconferencing because a) it's tcp-based and the required ACKs mean a big reduction in throughput and increase in latency, especially in the…
I read the article as saying you can't solve everything yourself. That's different than saying you should ignore problems. Instead you need to communicate when you see a problem that you're not positioned to solve,…
That's way more computationally expensive and only available if the camera is on (and the user's mouth is visible).
Very much this, it takes time to recapture the microphone and it's really annoying to lose the first part of what you say every time you unmute. I lead the video team at a videoconferencing app (gather.town) and we keep…
As an alternative to a daily chat message, a teammate and I have been meeting for ~15 minutes at the end of the day to talk about what we did and how productive we were. It's been pretty helpful a few different ways.…
Or: Focus on finding impactful early customers that increase your visibility (and then make them happy). Finding such a great customer may require luck, but that doesn't mean the odds are fixed.
A friend and former boss of mine founded CleanRobotics which makes the TrashBot, a trash can that sorts trash from recyclables: https://cleanrobotics.com/trashbot/ I haven't seen the output so I can't comment on how…
Can you cite some sources for your responses to 1 and 4? Re: 5, there's clearly a distinction between typical mutations, which have no particular effect on the virus' behavior but do allow us to trace infections, and…
Can you point to a source here? I work on Google Cloud and I don't think I've heard anything like that.
To me that actually sounds more condescending. The statement form suggests not only that I thought of the right way to solve your long-term problem in 5 minutes, but also that I'm confident you didn't know about it. The…

Yes, but they do it because they can. Local talent in those places accepts lower salaries, so they're still getting good people. There are significant barriers to moving (for the employee) and hiring remotely (for…
Netflix pays exceptionally well and is very selective, and I understand they are quicker to fire underperformers than most. So it is fairly prestigious and ranks at the top in compensation.

Really? I didn't see that in the slides. I saw "trade classes or grades for other stuff (but still work to or past your limit)" specifically with the references to not sleeping. As a CMU alum that both hit home and…
Agreed, it seems like a lot of people think about devops as a way to make dev's lives better without actively harming ops. The article does have a section on getting Ops on board with devops, but it's much weaker than…
The mic drop feature did exist; I had the pleasure of actively not clicking it on an email I sent last night.
Absolutely, if you have the budget to build, maintain, and support a custom ERP, it may be the way to go. But I think it's a tiny fraction of businesses where the benefits of that outweigh the extra costs involved. You…
Excellent point. A fear we see a lot in clients is that if the system's not built from scratch with them in mind, it can't do what they need. But the TCO of a system you build yourself is usually way higher than…
