I used to do this until February of this year. Never looked back.
She'd kill it at the hotdog cart
I became an engineering manager when my daughter was 2. Way back in the old days before LLMs so I had to both code and manage. Completely burnt me out. I never fully got back into traditional tech career after I was…
Gosh, I always assumed they were factual. Now I'm wondering the factualness of the old "15 people have this in their shopping cart" and "This is a popular item - limited stock left".
Click through rate is what drives the headline.
I've been fired (super early in my career I was a waiter) and laid off twice (Great recession and the covid overspend). If you think for even a second that an organization will put you before profits you have wasted…
Yes, let us not forget The Trail of Tears which happened two hundred years ago. > China increasingly says to autocrats, Would you like to stay in power? I can help you with that. > This is one of the safest places in…
The exact opposite has happened for me. I used to review every pr, give read only access to db. Now with codex 5.6 sol high I let it rip. I do sometimes quickly scan the pr but mostly I've been regulated to a manual…
Right. I misspoke. Should have said not in our lifetime.
Yes agreed that is how the world turns but given the state of world I don't see it happening in any of our lifetimes.

Come on. You can say all that nonsense about almost any other country. Most everyone wants to come to America for the opportunity. Think an immigrant in China has the same economic opportunity as in America? Any other…

In my experience a legacy codebase is where LLM shines. What would take days to grok is understood and explained almost immediately. There was a bit of job security with being the one whose worked with IIFEs to manage…
When I was younger (50ish now) I could juggle full time work with side projects but I just can't now, especially with family demands. Full time work is pretty much burning me out. I'm close to leaving and starting a…

I hear you. You're frustrated. Some people are having success with it. What have you tried to do with it? > Humans can be held accountable for their own slop If you're a human and AI writes code for you you are…
Who cares? I obviously didn't like the article. > Schemes were all wrong Why'd you let him run wild for two months? What software org would let anyone, even principle do that? Wouldn't the very first thing you'd do is…
Agreed. I never considered myself an "engineer". Honestly just a regular code monkey. Software Engineer was just my job title. Folks higher up the ladder did engineer software. You know what? It sucked. Was always…
I know of a publicly traded company which in its early years was built on beer. Literally. 3 guys in a co-working space in Cambridge, MA. Beer fueled their progress. 15 years later the software is still the backbone of…
I worked for a company that sold b2b contact data and they had (maybe still have) a linkedIn extension. It basically enriched the linkedIn profile. I wonder if linkedIn is trying to block these, or heavily target, in…
