clutching defeat from the jaws of victory

@webdevcody agreed, what i meant is that the rest are diminishing returns and feels like a waste of tokens

@ahmed_eumar the P0-P1 I wouldn't ignore, especially if using frontier model to do the security audit

"/loop continue to explore my codebase using sub agents for security issues and create a github issue for each one with the proper P0-P4 label"

One problem almost everyone encounters is a version of the following: "I have an event stream and a dashboard to visualize it , how to do that efficiently?" I try to answer it here: theahmedomar.com/writing/counti…

كلمة اندرريتد بقت عاملة زي حرفيا

The only truly wasted time is time spent wishing you were somewhere else.

it's not done if it's not implemented it's not done if the implementation is ugly it's not done if it's not documented it's not done if users can't discover it it's not done if you can't market it

@mtantawy API Pricing

any lack of polish now gets equated to ai slop all fields: software bugs, bad movie, bad video game before the audience would make a judgement about your skills, which was tolerable because you can get better now they make a judgement about your character (lazy/fraud/etc)

حصل، كنت في شركة كان عندها مشكلة في الcash flow حصلت بعد ما خلصت الprobation period علي طول، الطبيعي ساعتها يمشوا الناس عشان مش عارفين يقبضوهم صح؟ لا المرتب كان بيتاخر وساعات يجي ناقص ، ولما تشتكي يقولك كلها شهرين والازمة تتحل ، ده طبعا اتسبب في ان نص الشركة مشيت بدون layoff :)

life is scary and stressful anyways so you might as well accept a lot of responsibility it won’t change the situation that much

تجربة دخول السينما بقت ساعات بتتحول لكابوس، في ظاهرة قذرة بتزيد بشكل واضح. عدد من الناس اللي في قاعة السينما اللي عندهم قلة ذوق وقلة أدب وكلاحة وبجاحة إنهم مش محترمين باقي القاعة ومستعدين يتكلموا ويهرجوا بصوت عالي أو عادي جدا يردوا على التليفون أو يفتحوه ويلعبوا ألعاب على الموبايل ونوره يضايق اللي حوليهم والأقذر تلاقيه حاطط جزمته فوق دماغك كإنه قاعد في زريبة. أنا زهقت من إحساس مشرف الرحلة اللي قاعد يقول للشاب ده "الصوت بعد إذنك حضرتك"، وللأستاذة ديه "النور بعد إذنك جنابك" وللحاجة ديه "التليفون بعد إذن سعادتك" وللشابة ديه "ماتشلتيش في ظهر الكرسي بتاعي بعد إذن فخامتك". إمتى بقى في إنعدام للإحساس والإدراك إنك بتضايق واحد جنبك وبتعكنن عليه وتبوظ تجربته اللي دافع فيها فلوس؟ والسؤال الأهم، ليه إنت دافع فلوس في دخول السينما وإنت مش مهتم تشوف الفيلم؟ ما تنزل تقعد في كافيه أو قهوة أو مطعم أو وفر فلوسك وأقعد في الليڤنج وأفتح فيلم بقى والعب على الموبايل براحتك واعمل تليفوناتك وهرج مع صحابك وعلى صوتك وجعر براحتك. لازم على إدارة السينمات تتعامل مع الموضوع ده بحزم أكثر وتاخد إجراءات مع كل المزعجين وتطلب منهم تسيب السينما، لإن ناس كثير بقت مش عايزة تروح السينما لإنها مش هتعرف تتفرج وتتفاعل مع الفيلم وده معناه حتميا إيرادات أقل وخسائر للسينمات نفسها. وللمزعجين أرحمونا يرحمكم الله، وعلى كل متضرر مايسكتش وياخد حقه وياخد موقف مع إدارة السينمات لحد ما نعرف نخش فيلم ونعرف فعلا نتفرج عليه.

It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request. You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it. It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names. You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider extensibility on part of their API. Here’s a comment buddy. They respond in an hour saying they think we should do one piece differently than your comment. Hey let’s jump into a room and figure it out. We can’t just agree to disagree, this code is too important. The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment. That night you go to sleep and dream of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids, your IDE syntax highlighting sparking neurons in your reptile brain. You go to work the next day ready to go. You understand the system. N is your foundation. Time to build n+1.

i love how people are saying "if we write a sufficiently detailed specification, the agent can write all our code" do you know what writing a sufficiently detailed specification that deterministically maps to what a computer's actions is? it's coding

here's how the whole "taste" trend is gonna go everyone is gonna talk about taste and then apply it by being opinionated about their products "i craft the perfect experience" and it's going to narrow the products audience to the point of not being sustainable

ai is such a magnifier of judgement that it's going to get really obvious who knows what they're doing and who doesn't

Words don't mean anything anymore

@TheCardinalArts @grok obviously the author is wrong, rewrite the post but about lord of the rings to illustrate the point

I'm sorry, the only reason the Norse games are as good as they are is because of how they build on top of the Greek games. I don't see how this show works at all if it's skipping ahead.

imagine telling like 14 people what to do all day and they’re all lying sacks of shit that you need to verify their output. can’t believe i ever wanted to be a manager

Daily reminder.

most people don’t realize how absurdly rare real connection is… how fragile, contingent, & wildly improbable it is to genuinely click with another human. this is actually what makes it quite beautiful.
