We are almost close to 200 people signed up for this, which kind of blows my mind. Anyway, if you enjoy rides that choose the path of *most* resistance, then this is for you.

LLMs can make you produce more code faster, but is that actually a good thing? Maybe your product is good because of the features that you choose not to build. jola.dev/posts/limite...

Limited output is a feature

Great startups don't win because they write more code, they win because they think differently.

Generating more code is never and has never been signs of success in engineering. Generating the least amount of clear and maintainable code is always the answer. I know this context is a little different but I’m triggered.

Beautiful day for treats outside. Got donuts and pastry’s this morning and then read in the park.

A box of pastry’s on a sunny picnic table. 4 treats are inside: a gochujang sticky bun, sweet+ savory garlic roll, a 5 spice cinnamon sugar donut and a brown butter donut.

The gleeful doxing of someone cheating in public is bad even if they are a CEO and even if they are a Coldplay fan. It's bad because this kind of thing is happening to random people on TikTok for such crimes as "sitting silently on a plane" or "being attractive" www.404media.co/the-astronom...

I really like this article's perspective on software development as theory building; it succinctly conveys a lot of what I've felt is lost when too much of your code is generated by AI: cekrem.github.io/posts/progra...

Five years ago, coding was the easy part, and knowing what to code and promoting it (talking to customers, positioning, sales, etc.) was the hard part. Right now, coding is still the easy part, and knowing what to code and promoting it is the hard part.

Programmers are usually fed a steady diet of features and bug fixes. But occasionally they get to work on performance problems. This development methodology is known as intermittent fasting.

The conversation needs to be about how data centers are causing coal plants to be kept online longer, not about water usage.

How long before all these “coding is going away because of AI” people have giant balls of mud no one understands that just get thrown out? To me the work isn’t in the generating code, it’s writing the correct code to systematically build the product. #AI #software

there was a 1936 proposal to build a concrete ramp structure up to the midpoint of the eiffel tower so you could drive up it. and i, for one, think it’s a shame that there was never a trend of making world monuments more car-accessible.

Solarpunk gets a bad rap, but I'm hard pressed to think of another contemporary genre that's actually imagining hopeful futures. Everything else just seems to assume that Things Will Continue to Get Worse (and frankly, I don't know if I can blame them)
