Nobody tells you this: You can get pretty damn far in life by just being someone people can count on to show up and do the work. Reliability is the cheat code. Stop overcomplicating success. Show up, do the work, repeat. That’s it.

Software engineers don't get paid to write code; they get paid to solve problems. The faster you realize this, the sooner you'll stop being afraid that AI will replace you and the better your career will be.

Our willingness to read is the most powerful and limited counter to slop People don't want to read the manual and resort to havingAI code for them People don't want to read code and just approve it I bet you anyone who reads O'reilly books produce a TON less slop

Alex Jones has called for the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, per YF

I keep thinking about this fix. The code on the left was in production for at least half a year, and technically, it was doing the right thing. Until someone created a large enough volume, and the process started being OOM-killed in a loop, causing an incident. Software development is so much more than writing code.

“You’re absolutely right. I meant left”

You are looking for approval in a world that nailed a flawless man.

stop focusing on shipping fast ai means anybody can do this start focusing on quality we have a MASSIVE shortage of high quality/reliable software now it will become critical to have the skills needed to fix this

The amount of practice and discipline it takes to be great at something isn’t easy, if you see someone very good at what they do give them high respect.

Deleting code is the best kind of engineering. Period. Simplicity > Lines of code. While the whole world of vibe coders brags about pushing tens of thousands of LOC a day, I'm actually happier when my codebase shrinks every now and then, usually when I spot repeating patterns and extract reusable code into a better architecture. File Pilot is only a little above 100k LOC right now, which I already consider a lot. And I've been working on it for 4 years straight. So when I see people here talking about how they push thousands of LOC a day, I'm like... there is no way in the world you understand that code and all the implications of all the pieces that have to communicate with each other. You're gonna lock yourself so fast, into a place of such complexity that not even AI will be able to help. And for what? Speed? In generating mediocre junk code. You only value your time. I value my users time. We're not the same.

@icanvardar Copy it to your machine. Github can see "private" repos.

Stay in the fight long enough and life has no choice but to hand you what’s yours.

@vasuman Nothing is stopping you Open up vim and have at it

well that was fast! just met with a studio head for a really cool game said the team was super impressed with my work and would love to have me, talking with everybody more on monday. fully remote, great pay, hard problems to solve chat we are so back 🥹

What happens to your codebase when you stop reviewing your agents' output

killing slop with slop it's a bold strategy, let's see if it works out for them

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @AJC. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers.

Congratulations on your failure, most people don’t even try. The more you lose, the more you win.
