I mean, sure, sometimes I'm not eating chips and guacamole, and I feel pretty happy. But if I really think about it, if I just had some chips and guacamole to eat, I'd be even happier.

@zeeg @mitsuhiko oh this is one of my biggest pet peeves 😣 I guess a simple redirect_to querystring parameter is too low rent 🫠 keep fighting the good fight ✊🏻

Do people understand how much friction auth has when you click a link, login, and get sent to some completely unrelated link? I had the good fortune of using Notion today just to hit this same bug which I've been complaining about for years. This is the most frustrating part of every product, and while its not that trivial to fix these days (auth flows get really complicated), it plagues _so many products_.

Been insane working on this with the team every day. This team is made up with the smartest people i have ever been around We've built a git storage infrastructure layer from scratch, available via an sdk Are standing up single tenant clusters for codegen platforms that want to store large amounts of code And already doing it at insane scale DM me f you have a codegen tool and want the best place to store all the code your users generate

Code[dot]Storage A new Git provider for machines by @pierrecomputer. In Oct, Github shared they were averaging ~230 new repos per minute. Last week we hit a sustained peak of > 15,000 repos per minute for 3 hours. And in the last 30 days customers have created > 9m repos🧵

@oleg008 yep. I like that idea too. I've implemented a variation (the review happens on a draft PR and the reviewer is a different agent using a different model). at the end a summary is posted. really nice way to know what needs most of my attention when I review.

I keep asking opus to make code review, it keeps finding serious issues, I tell it to fix them, then repeat again, 4 cycles in, new discoveries made. Crazy world. I could probably ask it to do this cycle 5 items by itself.

@danmactough I don't like LLMs for writing prose. They flatten it and suck the life out of it. Possibly a hangup I'll have to get over?

I have a disorganized collection of thoughts on LLMs for software engineering on existing codebases. Trying to organize them in to something legible but I feel like I’m racing against the clock as patterns emerge. By the time I’m happy with it it may all just be obvious.

@GergelyOrosz I'd love to know if it's at all stressful to be responsible for that level. Or are they just like: "meh. the math checks out. nbd."

AWS's S3 object storage is at a different level of scale. It serves ~150M RPS (!!) and offers 11 nines of durability (!!!) [if you store 100M objects, you can statistically expect to lose one every 1,000 years] I'll talk with the team building it. What would you like to know?

TIL (thanks to my husband) that there’s a second Slack app you can download. (Slack for EMM) Now I have my work Slack separated from my community Slack workspaces and can use Slack without stressing about unread work notifications during off-hours.

When a request comes in, I create a new object and attach stuff to AsyncLocalStorage for that request so I don't have to worry about repeat calls to expensive things that shouldn't change during the life of the request and I also don't need to worry about cache invalidation.

@localburnergirl @krisowe exactly. even a small age difference matters more when you're younger (especially when the guy is the younger one tbh). the older you get, the less it matters...

@krisowe we truly don’t have a big age gap, but more of a lifestyle gap. i graduated college in 2023 when he was graduating highschool. i work full time and he’s a jr in college.

@Poppy_yyyyyyyy This was devastating to watch. Thank you so much for sharing and for drawing the parallel to Rhythm 0.

In 1974 Marina Abromavic performed her piece Rhythm 0, which involved her standing in front of a table with various items on and permission for the audience to interact with her and the items on the table however they chose. Six hours later her clothes had been entirely cut off, she’d been carried around half naked, sexually assaulted multiple times, had a gun pointed at her head, a knife had been used to cut her neck, she still has scars from cuts made to her body and a fight had broken out in the audience. This woman has the same look on her face as Abromavic did after her appearance.

@mattpocockuk yeah, I'm not a zealot. 😀 we'll put advanced stuff in separate ts files. my whole point is to make things easier on the dev.

@danmactough Yep, more keystrokes, much worse documentation, and much harder to do advanced stuff (still mostly possible).

@mattpocockuk well yeah, everything is a trade-off. you're trading off running valid code for saving keystrokes (or reading less? not sure what you mean by verbosity)

People have to implement those inventions. Your company wants implementers to be efficient so they can move on to the next invention. This is not a hard concept. Besides, everyone innovating all the time is chaos, not to mention delusional to expect.
Dave Anderson@scarletinked

But if tech workers are adding huge value - invention their company (or the world) hasn't seen, then their work is hard/impossible to measure. They can guess, but not predict their work. For more on why, read on in one of my more popular articles. buff.ly/4hZSH7R
