I think it's the subconscious telling the conscious parts of our brains what's coming. We're in the foothills now, and we're starting to feel the difference in how thin the air is. It's getting a bit colder and not as many trees grow here. Looking up, we see the snow capped summit of the mountain looming above us, and we know we can't survive up there.
Women show a robust increase in attraction to cues of ancestral genetic quality (body masculinity, behavioral dominance) on high-fertility days, but only when evaluating men as short-term/unspecified sexual partners, not long-term partners.
Not currently. Each IC's report is kept private unless they voluntarily share it, and IC's don't have visibility into other IC's Claude Code or Cursor logs. I think we're moving toward a model where it will be easier to correlate commits with chats, but timeline is not clear.
One of the most important things I ever learned from a colleague was YAGNI. He would review my code and mark sections as YAGNI. I didn't know what it meant at the time. He kindly explained and since then I have been the teacher of that very important guideline.
At my employer, if AI is not used, it shows up on your performance report and you’ll be told if you don’t start using it, you will be dismissed. I work at a medium sized successful YC-backed SaaS. So here, the attribution is meaningless - they look at your Bedrock and LLM API calls as well as Claude Code history.
I wanted to add gapless playback to an audio archive website I maintain. I tried myself before any of the popular LLMs were available. I failed. I then tried with the first LLMs that came out. They failed. Then, when the first Claude Opus was released, it succeeded. I now have gapless playback.
I vibe with the article but I think the disruption period is going to be closer to 15 years instead of 5. The idea of billionaires giving up 20% now or 100% later is powerful.
I love Ruby and have built my career on it, but is it the right language to be starting new projects with given agentic coding? My take is "no." Rust or TS are probably better choices right now.
> You could give me Jimi Hendrix’s exact guitar but it would sound very different if I tried to play it!
Guitars do not think. AI does. The analogies that try to paint AI as "just another inanimate tool" are way off base, and so is the conclusions of this article.
Most of the article deals with topic orthogonal to stack tech choices. It’s barely about the Rails Way at all. That said, I do think the Rails Guide could have a section on scaling philosophy and tradeoffs.
It seems to me that the author fails to extrapolate on the effects of recursive self improvement. The only things preventing 95% engineer obsolescence will be compute/energy constraints and the speed of adoption, which can take years for large infrastructure companies. But it's coming.
I wasn’t pulled toward the field of study, but came away with a great appreciation and wonder for nature. My parents recorded many of his documentaries on Betamax tapes in the 1980s and my brother and I watched all of them many times in our formative years. Happy birthday to a truly great human.
Thanks for the math. My mind was more on the transportation pollution (moving all the people and stuff into the desert and then back out again, every year). The amount of CO2 spent on flying people around for business and vacations blows my mind. Using jet engines should be something like 10x more expensive than they are to reflect the actual burden on future generations of humans and other species.
Ah, I misunderstood this, thanks for the link. You are correct. I was assuming this system worked like CLAUDE.md in that it was deterministically added to the context without the LLM choosing to add it. My mistake.
I like this but doesn't Burning Man itself constitute a hugely inefficient use of fossil fuels and unsustainable material use? The name has "burning" right in it. The climax is a bonfire. What about the air pollution? Perhaps it would be better for the planet if Burning Man didn't exist at all.
