Matt @matt-winfield.com · 24/03/2026I really enjoyed it, it did the book justice. Although I felt the pacing at the start & end was too fast (trying to avoid spoilers, but esp. the part where he discovered taumaeba can get through xenonite), but I guess the movie would be 5 hours long if they fixed that... 110
Matt @matt-winfield.com · 06/03/2026I'm looking forward to this season, so far it's looking like it could be interesting. I don't want to jinx it, but I don't agree with the doom predictions some people have been making. It has potential to be great. 000
Reposted by MattJason Cohen @asmartbear.com · 23/02/2026Writing helps you organize and clarify your own thoughts. When others read, it helps them do the same, whether they agree with you or not. Both of us probably need the reminder a year from now. This is why it’s valuable to write, even if your ideas aren’t unique. 481261205
Matt @matt-winfield.com · 22/01/2026"own your code" and "don't read all the code" are conflicting statements. If you're carefully reviewing code output, understanding it, and identifying weaknesses and improvements, you will (probably) be OK. But if you're not reviewing the code, then you don't understand how it works. 040
Matt @matt-winfield.com · 09/01/2026This is the thing I hate about web development - "Here's this fantastic new feature that solves all of your problems - But you'll have to wait several years to use it because loads of iPhone users are still on old Safari versions" 110
Matt @matt-winfield.com · 09/01/2026Ultimately I enjoy being a software engineer, not a project manager. If you're 100% vibe coding, then you're just being a project manager. The coding is the fun part! 020
Matt @matt-winfield.com · 09/01/2026But AI still regularly makes very severe mistakes so needs careful reviewing. And I usually only use it for the more boring "side tasks" like tooling setup, unit tests etc, while doing the coding of the main features myself, helping keep my skills up. 100
Matt @matt-winfield.com · 09/01/2026Ah yeah I see. My view is that AI is great if you're using it to augment your development, but unsustainable if it's 100% vibe coded. As long as I'm reviewing it's output, fully understand it, and find the silly mistakes it's made, then it's a great productivity boost 110
Matt @matt-winfield.com · 09/01/2026I think you've misinterpreted their argument - They were saying that things you'd do as a hobby project to practice your skills people are now outsourcing to AI - So you're losing some practice of skills, which I think is valid. 110

Matt @matt-winfield.com · 03/12/2024What would you put in a style guide that isn't enforced by the formatter+linter? Writing a style guide for your repo seems unnecessary to me now we have automation tools for it 100
