Been trying the whole “2g of creatine for every 1 lb of body weight” thing for a month now and I’ve never felt worse. How do you guys do it. It’s also like $1000 a week of creatine.

@michael_timbs You should be spending $2k per week on creatine in order to see any results.

@michael_timbs It's because you reversed the proportions. It's 1 pound of creatine for every 2 grams of body weight.

DHHs take here is understandable because he writes RoR mostly. Classes are effectively types in that model. You can go to the class definition to understand the data structure. I’d also wager most of his method arguments are primitives. Types make a lot more sense when your building blocks are functions and structs and you otherwise have absolutely no way of knowing what a piece of data you’re given is.
DHH@dhh

Agents don't need types. They're perfectly capable of pulling off incredible refactorings without. Give them a linter and a test suite, and you have all you need. Token efficiency is where it's at.

@GergelyOrosz Watching senior principal engineers spend a quarter building internal AI benchmarking and harnesses and wondering at the enormous opportunity cost of diverting those resources. It’d want to pay dividends

I've yet to see, or hear of a company that is winning against its competition, because said company is spending more on AI tools, or using it better than the competition. Ways I see companies win: - better product - better marketing - cheaper prices - better unit economic - more funds raised etc

The enhanced athletes can’t beat world records for the same reason you can’t program even with a Claude Max plan.

If AI can build any SaaS product in a day/week/month then the opportunity cost of doing so is so high that you’d still be better off just paying for it.

REST is one of the greatest abstractions we’ve ever built and MFs still went and adopted GraphQL. Just shows how unserious this profession is

@michael_timbs @lior_eth Yeah this will be comparable to saying that, at the age of seventy you feel almost as good as 60

What the Enhanced Games have shown in real time: 1) everyone is already enhanced. Thor couldn’t even improve his deadlift by >1%. Either steroids are useless or he was already juiced to the gills. 2) enhancement without star athletes is kind of sad? “This 44 year old swimmer almost beat his personal best from 10 years ago!” is not a great look lol. 3) people are drawn to sports, particularly when the idea of performance & enhancement is not taboo. For the first event, I think it’s going well. Will be cool to see this thing grow.

Actually tempted to move to API billing for coding models. I want to see the exact dollar value of any work to know whether it was worth doing or not. If a feature isnt worth paying an AI to build then its not worth building. I also have some strange dynamic where I feel like i have to maximise usage because im paying for it so i'll get AI to do shit that doesnt really need to be done for the sake of fake productivity feelings. Maybe some weeks ill spend $100 but others i'll spend $0.

Beff is as American as he is strong (not at all, he just thinks he is because he’s fat).
