So you rediscovered "build one to throw away", popularized in The mythical man-month, afaik?
I sympathize completely with you, but.. they robbed you of these moments of enjoying the art of programming itself at your day job. You are still free to enjoy it in your free time, just like I enjoy drawing or guitar…
Yes precisely. In my eyes the lack of objective answers in much of philosophy makes it an easy target for humans getting lost in their own "rationality". People vastly overestimate their ability to reason and draw…
I hope you can find joy again. People like you, who value the human side, are needed in this world. I agree that in recent years it has been going the wrong way, but to change it we have to work together.
The old man is absolutely pointing out a very real problem. It is too easy with LLMs to create crap PR:s. I learned Flask from Grinberg, god bless the man.

Your book was my path to Go. Thank you! Having a physical book means much to me.
The kids are smarter than many of us think. We owe to them a world where they can feel hope and see a future. But much of the AI hype is built around declaring how dangerous and futile everything is. The students…
But it also means we solve the same problems as before but faster, meaning less time is given to planning and thinking about what to actually build. This is a real problem where I work. Everyones grasp of what we are…
People choose between staying physically fit or have kids? I find that hard to believe.
The knees need exercise to be well. Nutrients are passed into meniscus etc by pressure cycling.
> We don't necessarily need hard separation of planning and coding, but we need a deliberate separation of experimental/explorative coding and the code that is supposed to make it into prod. AI coding does all that in…
Pointless nit, but replace "essential" with "invaluable" for a play with words.
What, no, maybe I am missing something but as these steps to get good results? I don't need them all, and some/many seem just like common sense or too specific. Like "72 steps to mow your lawn". Like said so many times…
Please tell more. I have the same impression. But that is where it is going - roles merging and being able to do the full spectrum will be valuable.
I imagine it as slingshotting my way up a tree.
Is this seriously so? Have you never seen anything helpful from an LLM? That seems such a black and white statement that I get confused. I am conservative regarding AI driven coding but I still see tremendous value. It…
I think one side of the issues folks are having is that combined with the mandate to use these tools, there is also an expectation or assumption that the developers will instantly get X% more productive. Like, "you must…
It will simply create it?
Ah of course, thank you. Defining the moves to get to the scramble makes sure it is solvable.
I am stealing that quote.
Many say but I don't agree. It is clearly better now but I had basically the same view on code gen-AI a year ago as I have now. It was obvious even then that LLMs were a big deal. They were really cool then and are…
I used Claude Code before August 2025 and it was definitely usable, although clearly more capable now. The difference is noticeable but not a completely different world, all in all, in my eyes. I notice on a daily basis…
Was it Bill Gates who likened LoC to measuring airplane construction progress by weight?
Ok cool! I have not done any cubing related coding so I don't know how complicated it gets but making sure suggested scrambles are solvable etc seems like it could be non-trivial?
