Most of the time I like that ChatGPT has context from my previous conversations when I start a new chat, but I would love an option to disable it for just a single conversation at the time of starting that thread.

If "it doesn't matter how it's coded as long as it works" was really true, we'd still be coding all of our frontend apps in jQuery

Over the last year I’ve gone through the 5 stages of grief. 1. Denial - “AI writes slop.” 2. Anger - “AI is trained on stolen data. I worked 20 years for these skills.” 3. Bargaining - “If I ignore it, maybe it will pass.” 4. Depression - “I don’t feel like working.” 5. Acceptance - “AI makes me quicker, more creative, and more capable. It automates the drudgery so I can focus on key decisions instead of syntax.” Relieved to be at step 5.

I don't know why this week became the tipping point, but nearly every software engineer I've talked to is experiencing some degree of mental health crisis.

It's crazy that we live in a time where AI can help build any app you want... ... but to deploy it live there's still only like 3 choices Heroku, DO, or roll your own infra.

@asmartbear With AI isn't this the whole job? 1. Write detailed PRD 2. Verify the AI got it right

What do engineers hate the most? 1. Writing detailed PRDs. 2. Managing/fixing other people’s code. AI might be more efficient. It also steals the joy and leaves behind the work we never liked. Cross-apply to designers, writers, and more.

the thing i keep in mind is how crazy the crypto era was and how coinbase was the biggest winner and they did so by being normal while everyone else had blockchain psychosis or obtuse skepticism it's the same thing again

Is there an app that gives Claude Code a better UI? I am using it in terminal in Cursor's sidebar but it's kind of hard to read and interact with.

@orcdev oh not venting :) Just an observation how quickly the right project at the right time can take off. Things are moving insanely fast right now. OpenClaw is an incredible project.

@GergelyOrosz And that's why timezones suck! And we have been better to only use UTC. One person's 6pm is morning and another's is night

Dates remain an amusing challenge in software. Got a complaint from a customer that they bought a subscription at 6pm their time on the 31st Jan… but got a receipt with the date as 1 Feb. This is wrong - and they are right! But from the server’s POV, the date is right!

i keep trying 5.2 codex for planning and i don't understand how y'all do it. for me opus does way more thinking and explaining and planning on it's own in a very helpful and needed way.

@jamesacowling Convex is inspirational The architecture, api design, philosophy There's so much to learn from it

LLMs are good junior engineers but bad at architecture, dist. systems, non-local reasoning, and correctness guarantees. If you hire a Principal Eng to simplify your stack and help junior engineers move faster they often build a database abstraction that looks a lot like Convex.
noah@NoahMoscovici

@jamesacowling Do you have thoughts as to why the Convex abstractions work so well with LLMs? Apart from the configurations being present as files in the codebase, and fullstack type safety?
