koinedad··on Interview Coder Just Leaked Full Names and Companies of All SWEs Who Cheated [video]
Classic
koinedad··on Stop Doom Scrolling, Start Doom Coding: Build via the terminal from your phone
I’ve thought about this many times, maybe with a custom telegram bot!
koinedad··on Show HN: Gaming Couch – a local multiplayer party game platform for 8 players
I love the idea. And would be interested in making a game for it as well.
koinedad··on Your job is to deliver code you have proven to work
This is very helpful for a team and even though it takes a little time it actually speeds things up in the long run. Using PR templates can help. A general description of the problem including a screenshot or video go a long way.

I remember when I was working at a startup and a new engineer merged his code and it totally broke the service. I asked him if he ran his code locally first and he stared at me speechless.

Running the code locally is the easiest way to eliminate a whole series of silly bugs.

Like mentioned in the article adding a test and then reverting your change to make sure the test fails is really important, especially with LLMs writing tests. They are great at making things look like they work but completely don’t.

koinedad··on Tesla reports another Robotaxi crash
The title makes it sound way worse than the 7 reported crashes listed in the article. I’d be interested to see a comparison with Waymo and other self driving technologies in the same area (assuming the exist).
koinedad··on Kids Rarely Read Whole Books Anymore. Even in English Class
My kids read tons of books. But we homeschool and actual books are the main course of our education.
koinedad··on iPhone Typos? It's Not Just You – The iOS Keyboard Is Broken [video]
This is a big issue and I’ve noticed I significant decline in my accuracy. Would love to hear a response to this from Apple with proper fix.
koinedad··on Getting a Gemini API key is an exercise in frustration
I have always found Google products incredibly confusing and difficult to use. I have had a very similar experience to this a number of times.
koinedad··on Pebble Index 01 – External memory for your brain
I imagine a partial rebate for the returned device to lessen the burden but this does feel like a $5 subscription just for the device.

I generally like the idea. I use my Apple Watch for Siri and needing the other hand to hold Siri is not ideal. I do use “hey siri” a lot but it doesn’t always work, though pretty reliable.

koinedad··on Pebble Index 01 – External memory for your brain
Raise to speak is the most unreliable feature for me, I’ve tried it several times and it’s like 30% success rate
koinedad··on Pebble Index 01 – External memory for your brain
Two is definitely on the low end for “years”… really the lowest.

But I did have a similar thought when I read it was only “two”

koinedad··on Netflix kills casting from its mobile app to most modern TVs
No, I’d say the App Store,

I consider it a device perk. I bought the iPhone and Apple TV largely because of airplay so if they remove that functionality it will move me to use other streaming services that support it or I’ll just buy movies again and stop paying streaming altogether.

koinedad··on Netflix kills casting from its mobile app to most modern TVs
Not sure the full motivation behind this but this is very annoying for a parent with kids. Especially if you've lost your remote, or want to quickly find something and cast it to your Chromecast/Apple TV.

I'd prefer video streaming apps be required to support Casting/AirPlay.

koinedad··on All it takes is for one to work out
I basically repeated the same thing to my wife when I was transitioning into software engineering. It’s so true!
koinedad··on Git 3.0 Defaults to "main" Branch Instead of "master
The end of an era
koinedad··on Steam Machine
Been waiting for this
koinedad··on I'm a Senior Developer and I Still Google Everything (Perfectly Normal)
I think this is normal especially if you’re changing languages, frameworks, codebases. Some people are gifted in memorization of these things and others of us just forget if it’s not needed. I do the same thing with people’s names.

If you’re working on the same type of thing everyday you’ll likely remember how to reverse an array in JavaScript. The other day I was trying to remember how to reverse a string in JavaScript… that was fun.

koinedad··on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps Workers with AI Days Before Crash
Does Amazon even have DevOps?
koinedad··on I'm spoiled by Apple Silicon but still love Framework
It’s hard when you’ve had such amazing hardware. I’m still intrigued by framework myself and hope to get one in the near future!
koinedad··on Migrating to React Native's new architecture
I’m realizing from first hand experience that there’s a lot of complexity in RN, it offers a lot of benefits but not without significant cost. Reading source code, debugging dependencies, and even working with dependency maintainers can be necessary.
koinedad··on Show HN: Haystack – Review pull requests like you wrote them yourself
I love the AI of adding context and logical ordering to PRs! Really cool concept
koinedad··on How we built an interpreter for Swift
This is really cool, will definitely try it out. Does it allow you to move this to your computer later and actually publish the apps? What’s the end goal here?
koinedad··on Multimodal WFH setup: flight SIM, EE lab, and music studio in 60sqft/5.5M²
I was looking for the multimodal LLM homelab…got really confused for a second
koinedad··on Ask HN: Would you get a CS degree today?
If he enjoys programming for the sake of it I think it’s valuable but it’s not necessary. He could also get a full CS degree for a fraction of the cost if you’re factoring that in.

The job market is bad but lots of hiring for AI positions, both research and application of AI are still in demand. But this could very well be cyclical.

No matter what someone has to train the AI, control the AI, etc.

koinedad··on Worktrees: Git's best kept secret (and why you should use them)
I like the idea of them…was just reading about them yesterday but the folder to a repo concept was a little and I didn’t realize exactly what was going on so this blog is perfect timing. I regularly need to switch branches and don’t really like the stash checkout flow that I have —- too much cognitive lift for me. Maybe work trees is the answer
koinedad··on Telo MT1
I like the mini idea. I want a small car thing and this might be just the type of thing that is practical for me
koinedad··on The append-and-review note
I just use it to store anything in small tiny notes and then use the excellent indexing and search to find what I’m looking for on my phone or laptop.
koinedad··on Exposing a web service with Cloudflare Tunnel (2022)
This is great, will definitely have to try this out
koinedad··on Bitchat – A decentralized messaging app that works over Bluetooth mesh networks
For days I’ve been reading this bit chat…today I finally noticed the pun
koinedad··on Building a Mac app with Claude code
I’ve found that building a custom tool for yourself is now much more accessible using things like Windsurf and CLI tools - pretty interesting times!
