NEW POST Conversations with AI are ephemeral, decisions made early lose attention as the conversation continues, and disappear entirely with a new session. @techygarg explains how to externalize the decision context into a living document. martinfowler.com/articles/reduc…

Interviewer: There is exactly ONE concert ticket left. 10,000 fans click 'Buy' at the exact same millisecond. How do you guarantee only one person gets it without crashing the database?

Don't listen to people saying learning to code isn't worth it. Demand for software developers is only going up. And even if AI automated 100% of coding, which it won't, knowing how things work under the hood will only make you better.

One annoying thing about thinking hard to solve technical problems is that a successful solution almost always involves reformulating the question in a way that makes the answer simple Then, I feel bad that it took me 3 days to come up with an "obviously simple" answer

I've just released a new version of typeagent, a Python library I've been working on since mid last year --more and more using Claude-- that implements memory for agents. Not originally my idea, I mostly ported the TypeScript version by Steve Lucco and Umesh Madan. This release was improved a lot by Bernhard Merkle. To install, use "pip install typeagent". Changelog: github.com/microsoft/type…

⏰ New PEP alarm! ⏰ Limitations in software engineering are meant to be broken. For years I was bothered with the gap between Python and TypeScript: one has incredibly dynamic and powerful runtime, the other has incredibly dynamic and powerful type system. So why not both? 🔥

More frustration in a post AI world... Dev misunderstands an APIs behavior. Asks AI "why is this library doing this thing wrong"? AI emphatically confirms bug in library. Dev writes confident issue explaining bug to the maintainer. Wall of text with supporting "evidence". AI is susceptible to leading questions. It will give you the answer you are looking for virtually every time. If you ask AI "why is this library producing the wrong output" or variation thereof, if will often hallucinate a bug for you rather than correct you.

#Python design tip: Only use @property for O(1) operations. People rightly expect that anything that looks like attribute access is fast. Don't want to Cntl-C out of an attribute lookup that Deep Thought takes 7.5 million years to compute: >>> life.meaning 42
