Tariffs, forcing capital into 7 very large companies instead of small startups, wage suppression through weird offshoring and immigration schemes so on and so forth. There are seemingly unending number of issues that all contribute to the same outcome we're seeing today.

Workflow is this: - I have emacs open for code editing/reviews/git. - Separate terminal emulator with 1-3 claudes - I work on a story by splitting it into small steps ("Let's move this email logic to the email.service.ts", "here's the fields I'd need to add to the request, create a schema validation in a separate file, and update the router and controller") - I mostly watch claude, and occasionally walk through the code in emacs whenever I feel like I want to review code. - I handle external tools like git or db migrations myself not letting LLMs near them.

In essence, this is pretty much how you'd run a group of juniors - you'd sit on slack and jira diving up work and doing code reviews.

Questioning immigration policy is not racism. Anti-Indian sentiment in Canada is relatively recent and happened after a decade of mass immigration that is now widely agreed has contributed to a noticeable decline in the quality of life for all.

India as a whole is diverse. Canada is NOT getting immigrants from all of India but rather from 2 states (mostly one). Please learn about the issue first.

I keep thinking about perhaps LLMs would make writing code in these lower-level-but-far-better-performing languages in vogue. Why have claude generate a python service when you could write a rust or C3 service with compiler doing a lot of heavy lifting around memory bugs?

What are the chances that Google leadership even seen GCP interface outside of a demo once a never?

This is generally true of all of these frameworks: Django, Laravel, rails, phoenix

Problem with "it will hurt" is that it will actually hurt middle class by completely wiping it out, and maybe slightly inconvenience the rich. More like annoy the rich, really.

Congratulations to the bun team!

Reminds me of Blindsight by Peter Watts. Aliens viewed our radio signals as a type of malware aimed to consume the resources of a recipient for zero payoff and reduced fitness. This is the same.

Yeah, that’s well articulated and well reasoned. Unfortunately, so long as in some way these agents are able to make money for the owner the argument is totally moot. You cannot expect capitalists to think of anything other than profit in the next quarter or quarter after that

I couldn't get it to work on M1 mac. it spins forever on login screen.

Using tabs requires so much discipline imo. I just end up having 2000 tabs open, and so I chose to not have tabs at all.

Let's be brutally honest. Big part of choosing tech has to do with the fact that I want to be able to be paid. If react is popular and has some potential for earning me money, then react it is.

Vibing. It's a state of zen and connection to the technology that you use.

Mint is great! I've been using it for years, everything just works out of the box

I've spent 2 month trying out emacs and I feel like I sort of scratched the surface. It's like the deeper you look the more you realize how much more there is

It's the emacs way - emacs eats the world

More Java than C++ in my opinion. And, get this, JS! We shall see how far OpenFin will actually go in that space because they will potentially drive a ton of JS across orgs in finance

They are just different. I mean, setting up monorepo is far easier with maven over npm. Besides, maven offers basically cookie cutter project organization where every maven project looks like every other maven project. As for other tooling JVM is just better than JS ecosystem. Definitely more complex, but also more powerful

You still have to test everything.

Can't wait to have a job migrating an application from 17 to java 25 in 10 years!

Yes. Common LC patterns such as 1D and 2D dynamic programming. I'm not defending leetcode style interviews, in fact I think they are actually bad, I'm simply stating their intent as observed by me.

In my notes I have roughly 30 patterns to leetcode questions btw.

The point is to test whether or not you put in the time to sharpen common patterns and also to test your communication ability

You're using an editor that is built to be configurable for people who enjoy endless configuration. This will not be the last config manager. You might as well ask JS community if Nextjs is the last JS framework

Best explanation of spring I have ever read.

And while Spring has it's rough edges and quirks it is still an incredibly stable framework. Next, on the other hand, is a box of surprises that keeps on giving even when you think you saw it all.

Not heavy on jargon? Compared to what? It’s all jargon

In this economy the calculus will be “hold on to your job at all costs and hope that next round of quarterly layoffs hiring doesn’t touch you”

I don't think you understand humans. Spicy social gossip is far more attractive to people rather than anything informative.

There are no Steve Jobs left in the American tech.
