Can't comment on FP, haven't touched it since SMLNJ in the late 90s. I fear my mind is now congealed in OOP paradigms and the threshold to FP is too high. Anyway I can say this - the free web interface to ChatGPT in…

Burke Holland has a few good videos that helped me. For example this on agents[1]. He uses Copilot but the principles are similar for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other harnesses: So far in the LLM coding revolution…

>How does one get to "half ten" in German? Is it simply starting from "half to ten"? Never thought about it much but I think you're spot on. English uses "half past" and therefore "half 10" means 10:30, whereas most…
Oh come on! I'll take a few years of expensive RAM in order for humanity to get wide access to something near as makes no difference to the Star Trek Ship computer. Which is 100% what this has felt like to work with,…
>DTOs are one of the big code smells of a code base I actually agree but think serialization overrides are even worse, and the code smell that causes both of them is the ORM. ;-)
In the time it takes me to make a single-node webservice with a CLI POC client I can now have a fully scalable SAAS with clients for iOS, Android, mac, linux, windows and web-based, user documentation in several…

This might be the last year where we have to write code by hand unless we enjoy it though. ;-)
>ORMs being a forcing function for domain modeling is enough benefit for me that it outweighs all of their obvious limitations. That was a surprising take! I know only a few ORM's but it seems they end up just adding…
It's a combination of small things really. The mentioned ability to easily call on various models in the same prompt, having agent definitions be able to orchestrate other agents just by mentioning it in the…
I am a huge fan of Copilot CLI. It just feels so logical and low-friction to use compared to Claude Code. Having the ability to juggle various models at will is really nice too. ("Plan this using Opus 4.6, let GPT 5.4…
The article claims: "After the Windscale fire released radioactive fallout onto grazing land in 1957, Britain discarded contaminated milk for 44 days, thereby avoiding any harm." This is also not true, the actual…
Perhaps I didn't make my point clearly enough? The claim that lack of nuclear power is to blame for global warming doesn't hold up because even in a best case scenario, nuclear power can only replace a small part of the…

To be clear - most of Volvo's BEVs are their own designs, including all currently for sale in the US.
I don't think Polestar should be banned, nor any other Chinese car maker for that matter, but I can understand why Volvo gets a different treatment. Volvo probably employs several 1000s of people throughout the US from…
