My favorite part of Ruby is the testability. You can test anything, easily, without having to make interfaces and other design decisions specifically around tests. Testing anything in Ruby is dead simple, and agents are…
no, these meetings are still hot garbage. half the time you’re going to discover the right decision / path while you’re coding. focus time went from hammering code to figuring out how to solve the problem. PRs are now…
The author effectively argues deep thinking is dead, that people are no longer going to take the time to understand the problem and solution space before they solve it. I think that’s untrue, I think it’s /more/…
I think good code is even more important now. People talk about writing the code itself and being intimate with it and knowing how every nook and cranny works. This is gone. It’s more akin to on call where you’re…

I keep seeing “Claude image understanding is poor” being repeated, but I’ve experienced the opposite. I was running some sentiment analysis experiments; describe the subject and the subjects emotional state kind of…
This will get written off as victim blaming, but there’s some truth here. I don’t use Claude code for everything. I’ve fallen off the bike enough times to know when I’ll be better off writing the changes myself. Even in…
I agree with that being fastest, but not cheapest. In my experience these one off reports are very brittle. The app ends up making schema changes that are breaking to these one off reports, and you usually don’t find…
> As the recent US election has shown, it's not what you say - but how you say it, that counts. Are you implying that Biden spoke with more confidence than Trump, but Harris did not?
load_async is still concurrency, but not parallelism. The queries themselves can run parallel, but when materializing AR objects e.g., only one thread can run at a time. A greedy thread in process will still subject you…
I spent 10 years doing C#, and the last 3 doing Ruby. I never thought of N+1 as that big of an issue. These queries are typically fast (1ms * 100 is still only 100ms…) and multithreaded web servers are non blocking on…
Writing is really beneficial for exploring the problem space. Many times I’ve confidently thought I understood a problem, started writing about it, and come away with new critical questions. These things are typically…
I agree that LLMs capabilities with a language are going to be extremely relevant. Community, API consistency, and whatever other factors that are going to increase LLM usefulness will decide the popularity of languages…
> both our BMI's hover just over 30. > We're active, we eat well Respectfully, you are both obese. If you’re ok with that that’s ok; but to say your diets are appropriate is telling yourself a lie.
Agree the DB side is overstated. These particularly suck though in ruby on multithreaded servers (eg puma), where N+1s are constantly giving control of the GVL to another potentially greedy thread. I’m sure python…
imo a properly configured Postgres server should have enough RAM to keep any hot data in cache. The cached path is the accurate measurement.
I manage at a lower level, a team of developers. I’m a big fan of stating a clear goal and letting the developer/team decide how to tackle. I may have suggestions, I may veto proposed solutions if I have legitimate…
Spot on with cost, as with everything you have to be pragmatic. Tests are great for: * High risk items (large consequence when it goes wrong) * Documentation * Weird unintuitive things We had a C# project recently that…
For portable non-concentrate, Mighty by Storz and Bickel is hands down the best device I've used. The engineering is flawless: amazing battery life, extremely durable, easily replaceable wear/tear parts, use while…
Chargebacks are a costly process. The processor will charge a fee ($15-$25 is a fair guess) and you lose the money from the transaction.
>I often have this weird fear that I wont accomplish anything in my life like it is some sort of personal failure. Completing a big project, setting a new weight lifting or running PR only leaves me feeling empty. I've…
I wonder if this will have Visual Studio's Go To Implementation feature. If so, I really hope this gets fully integrated in Azure DevOps repos. It's a great experience right now, but I pretty often end up pulling the…
Cash comes with a fee; armored trucks, safes, money-handling mistakes, etc.
It isn't just the card brand taking a slice. At best it's a 3 party system between the Gateway (Auth), Acquirer (person actually paying the merchant), and the card brand. I don't think it's uncommon for their to be…
