The build phase is cheap now. Building poorly at speed isn't. @joshvanallen.dev from our team on why "shift left" stopped working, and what actually shifting left looks like when agents are writing 1200 lines in 40 minutes. (link below)

Personal view, I think all engineers should have to work retail sales early in their career. Mainly because it helps you understand how hard it is to build products for the masses. It forces you to have to have broad tailored views on what makes a product work.

Been a stressful and emotionally draining day. A lot of processing. Feeling a bit better now but hopefully the morning doesn't bring the dread. Positive note, learning a ton about myself and the way I think! It's the greatest gift but also the greatest weakness

Aaaand another one for @egghead.io. Code generation is kinda what LLMs are good at, but there's this one thing they lack: predictability. And that can be quite important if you're not just hacking alone on a project. What's better: predictability + AI egghead.io/enable-curs...

After struggling to get Java working (blame me and blame java), I got it imported into a Nx workspace and running! The Nx bit was actually the easy bit.
