I do get the distinct feeling that none of the guys discussing AI on podcast have ever worked at a normal company for any extended period of time.

this is hilarious.

Interest in em-dash over time.

@signulll they are directing the managers of product management. as a species, we're yet to definitely answer what they're exactly managing.

i always wonder what exactly the directors of product management are directing?

@thdxr this doesn't really matter, because software engineering is over by next year.

anthropic api be like

all these ai companies with billions of dollars tell you that you don't get it they're getting unimaginable amounts of stuff done with ai there's tons of OSS projects - many of which they use - that have long standing bugs and gaps how come they aren't sweeping through these

wtf are these people smoking

On chinese pre-revolution elite > But when the authors did the comparison in the next generation, which grew up after the return of meritocracy, they found that the pre-revolution elite had more education, better occupations and higher incomes.

Road to hell is paved with custom DSLs

@leerob @cursor_ai Honestly, I feel like this is a great implementation that's hidden within docs. Yes, I'm accusing an AI startup for their lack of product marketing.

@leerob @cursor_ai Exactly like that. Thanks! Didn't realise it was there.

Cursor 2.1 is now available! Plans now have an interactive UI for answering clarifying questions. Also new: in-editor code reviews, instant grep, and improved browser use.

I just put in "crispr brings back uricase" into google and yes, they're trying to bring this back.

So basically, uricase (oxidase) allows mammals (except humans and great apes) to break uric acid down to more soluble compounds that get cleared away harmlessly. Because we don't have it - Fuctose -> Uric Acid -> Elevated fat storage.

Stalin wasn't Russian (Georgian) Napolean wasn't French (Corsican) Hitler wasn't German (Austrian) ...same applies to Catherine the Great, Alexander Hamilton and King George the first. Make your own inferences.

Highly recommend @robkhenderson's "secret reading list". Troubled - is a great book.

The often underrated aspect of using coding agents is treating them as "co-devs who are slightly ahead of you". For example, cleaning the testcache was something I knew was possible, but didn't have the intuition for.

@jmduke Isn't it just "prompt and iterate"?

Whenever someone says something like "writing software should feel like making art" I get a little worried about what they think making art feels like

@thdxr curious to see if you rate fly.io at all? imo its is pretty much there. they've managed postgres and i'm a "use postgres for everything" guy. so apart from email, almost everthing else is there.

here's my dream cloud that doesn't exist 1. vercel level of dx but also IaC is first class 2. complete - don't make me go somewhere else to send emails, queues, db, async work, etc 3. focus on making peoples apps just work instead of inventing new paradigms
