shamano··on Claude Sonnet 4 now supports 1M tokens of context
1M tokens is impressive, but the real gains will come from how we curate context—compact summaries, per-repo indexes, and phase resets. Bigger windows help; guardrails keep models focused and costs predictable.
shamano··on Did GitHub Copilot increase my productivity?
I guess it does when you use it parsimoniously.

Copilot helps me a lot when I have to write repetitive code, or when I have to change code slightly the same way in a lot of lines.

I never add large amounts of code at one go though, I think it would certainly add subtle bugs then.

What should they code with? [HolyC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS)?
shamano··on How I learned to charge my customers

shamano··on Patio11's Law: The software economy is bigger than you think
Isn't really anything your team could do? Usually there are lot of fronts people could work on and bring more revenue to the company. Try to find those to redirect your team and implement your solution.
shamano··on Deep Work: A welcome kick in the butt
"From a practical standpoint, our research suggests that, when faced with long tasks (such as studying before a final exam or doing your taxes), it is best to impose brief breaks on yourself. Brief mental breaks will actually help you stay focused on your task!”

shamano··on _why's site is back up and this is the "About Me" [unclear if it is _why]
In the contact page there's the following: > I don’t know why you’d need to contact me through the web. After all, if you’re reading this blog, there’s a pretty good chance that we know each other already.

That seems very unusual for anyone to say. If the blog was not set up by _why, it is set up by someone trying to deceive everybody. Moreover all the mysterious domain and bizarre content and language could be _why trying to do exactly this.

shamano··on We hear you: Better commenting coming to YouTube
Depending on the video there are very good discussions in the comments. Youtube is not made of cats.
