We’ve launched a new show! It’s called Continue. It’ll be focused on specific topics per episode; we call each topic an edition. For now we have just one edition: Go Proposals. Each week we’ll publish an episode covering Go Proposals. The first episode shipped today! Check it out: continue.show/1

Where are you going today? Well, we're going to go over down route 53, then head down bedrock ave, and in no time we'll be going down the highway. But where are you going? We expect to hit 85 within the first 20 seconds of hitting the highway! But where are you going? I just told you!

From the outside, complicated problems seem simple to solve. Have a gun violence problem? Simple! Get rid of the guns. What's hidden is the path dependence. For example, how exactly do you suggest we get rid of half a billion guns? @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #commonsense #problemsolving

At some point, we can't place the blame on frontier AI lab CEOs for saying insane things. We keep giving them a platform. And more importantly, rarely do we take the history of claims they've made to weigh new ones. That's the first change we need to make. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com

Wealth management is a weird trap that makes the entire system worse while making sense at each step of the way. It's a weird twist of Simpson's Paradox. We won't fix problems like this without fixing the whole system. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #business #wealthmanagement #tech

Some believe that large companies are well run, @skriptble.me questions whether they've actually peered at the insides. There is mess everywhere, seemingly unlimited chaos, and a bunch of people barely holding the entire thing together. Elegant this is not. @matthewsanabria.com #tech #business

We love to focus on metrics as a proxy for accomplishing real things. "Look how fast we're shipping!" "Look at how many lines of code I wrote!" "Look at how many tokens I used!" But did you actually do anything useful with that stuff? No? Oh, okay then. @matthewsanabria.com @skriptble.me #tech

Just install OpenClaw! Wait, no, I mean just install Hermes Agent. Wait, never mind, scratch that, just install Pi! The whiplash of these recommendations is giving @matthewsanabria.com a headache. There must be a better way. #tech #llms #codingagents

For many, not having to write the code means they can move faster. But domain knowledge is tricky, because it means that not knowing how to implement one small component of a larger project can stall the entire thing. Coding agents fix that. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #tech #codingagents

Cryptocurrencies were poised to change the world, and then they didn't. Many believe it was because they were overhyped, @skriptble.me has a different theory: they matched people's mental model of money even though that mental model is incompatible with actual finance. @matthewsanabria.com #crypto

@adamhjk.me thinks that we should just let the LLMs go wild, but @matthewsanabria.com sees the value in continuing to do tasks ourselves that LLMs might automate. While those with decades of experience benefit from the speed, those with less experience benefit from the friction and the struggle.

Holding informed opinions today is foolish. We had web search before, but they had friction to learning something. With LLMs the barrier to deeper knowledge has been removed. It'll get things wrong, but a nuanced wrong opinion is better than an uninformed one. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com

@skriptble.me wanted to optimize a ZFS dataset for the data it'd be storing, so he set the recordsize to 4MB. When he started actually using the dataset he was greeted with minute long stalls. The problem? An SQLite database causing 1,000x write amplification 😬 #softwareengineering #zfs #filesystem

Move Fast and Break Things wasn't the first phrase but it was the most blunt and honest. Tech as an industry loves to prioritize speed over all else, including any sense of direction. With AI tools, we've doubled down on this and it's made things much worse. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #tech

Epistemic markers are phrases like "I think", "I guess", "maybe", and "certainly". They tell us how confident the speaker is in what they are saying. Their usage has been declining for decades, but AI leaders have taken it to an entirely new level. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #language #tech

Collective action often requires collective suffering to achieve collective gains. But if we allow people to leave the collective without consequence, or worse, allow those who would participate in the gains to undermine the work of the collective, we will not achieve progress. @skriptble.me #unions

Coding agents are great. We can build projects we never thought possible. But it also reduces the hands on keyboard time we all have writing code. This can lead to atrophy of those programming skills. We need to find a balance between prompting and programming. @matthewsanabria.com #tech #llms

In some ways, the way people are acting around AI makes sense: the business is incentivized by shareholder pressure to invest heavily in it and employees are incentivized by the business to invest their energy into it. If want this to change, we need systemic fixes. @matthewsanabria.com #tech

We often treat load-bearing infrastructure in software ecosystems an unserious way. When catastrophic things happen in software ecosystems we rarely make the systemic changes requires to ensure it won't happen again. @matthewsanabria.com #infrastructure #software #softwareengineering

We've been told the world is run by incredibly strategic multi-billion and multi-trillion dollar companies, but for those who work inside them, it feels like nothing could be further from the truth. Would these companies function if all the EAs stopped working? @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com

The open source world was designed for a world where there was more friction for doing things. With LLMs a lot of that friction has been removed. Sometimes that means we have to ask a potential contributor "are you a human?". @www.jvt.me.web.brid.gy #opensource #tech #llms

It's far too easy for open source maintainers to step out of the joy economy and into the capitalist economy without noticing it's happened. All of the sudden that fun side project is now filled with issues, sometimes from big companies who would like you to fix their problem for free. @skriptble.me

Do LLMs hold all of the world's knowledge? Absolutely not, and relatively they hold about as much knowledge as you do. But our brains are bad at understanding relative scales as non-linear. @skriptble.me #tech #llms #softwareengineering

It usually only takes 1 project for an open source maintainer to learn they need to set boundaries. Unfortunately, that 1 project often becomes load bearing infrastructure before we've even realized what's happened, putting everyone in quite a predicament. @www.jvt.me.web.brid.gy #opensource

Software folks are not the main characters of their employers. And yet, for almost our entire existence as a discipline, we have acted like we are. The consequences? We've become inscrutable the rest of the company. That's made open source difficult for a business to understand. @skriptble.me

"You've built a concept in the tone of Git, but it's off key" @skriptble.me Pull Requests created a faulty foundation. It made sense when GitHub was created, but at scale it doesn't work as well as alternatives. GitHub Actions compounded this problem. Also, YAML is *awful*. #git #pullrequests
