@devahaz Where does one buy these gourmet frozen pizzas? Birite? Safeway??

Fancy restaurant frozen pizza is getting really good. I think del popolo is even better.

@dieworkwear @KristyT All the really smart moderates were explaining this type of thing that beff is so surprised by was exactly the type of policy this admin supported, but they were just clueless sheep following whatever their tech idols said

i am quite close to going back to an autocomplete-only AI coding style. dead serious. i'm not sure the ostensible speed of agent-first coding is worth the brainrot, the laziness and the loss of code and architecture comprehension

@rough__sea GOAT

deno 2.8 ships tomorrow. bun is definitely faster in many benchmarks - credit where due - but node compat isn't close

javascript ecosystem is too dangerous

Why would we consider any AI or for profit company morally higher?

@Yuchenj_UW This depends on how you define human intelligence. For example, the CIA has used and published on remote viewing. Is remote viewing a form of human intelligence? If so, then any synthetic AI may never meet such a definition.

This one won't age well.

Reviewing code generated by AI offsets all the productivity gains you get by using AI. It takes a lot of effort to review and validate changes, and you cannot do that for 8 hours per day. Unless you are vibe coding, the actual productivity gains are marginal in large projects where software mistakes cost a lot of money.

@ThePrimeagen here is a screenshot of some of the bun v1.3.14 release notes. many more bugfixes like this can’t rule out skill issue, but manual memory management combined with GC-managed memory is hard. could keep fixing one-off, or we could make it harder for these bugs to happen

@jarredsumner Please write a blog post on this.

@Waffl3x tmux akin to GNU screen are really meant to be run on a long running server where you can ssh from a dummy client like a laptop.

So many replies stating "tmux doesn't stop the laptop from sleeping". I probably have the worst workflows of any professional engineer, and even I understand how tmux solves this.

Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10+ years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored). If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update! I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it. Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.

If alien hybrids are moving you to tears, I'm sorry but you're probably not gonna make it. The CIA is teleporting planes with fusion orbs using space energy. Wrap your mind around what that means.

As you write code by hand, you intrinsically review it. As you gain experience by writing (and thus reviewing), your code gets better. Your reviewing skill gets better. You spot your own mistakes faster, and address them as you write and rewrite the code. AI written code is a code dump. Reviewing AI code dumps is as hard as reviewing a very long PR someone sent your way. Expecting humane understanding of AI written code is unfathomable in many cases. Only using AI to review AI generated code seems plausible.

Be Honest!

If legislators always vote with the President, we have a king. If legislators always vote with the prevailing wind, we have mob rule. If legislators always vote with the Constitution, we have a Republic.

@devahaz Mehfil is still open and it survived COVID? I need to head over there for lunch. I haven’t eaten there since South Park days in 2014.

Delicious $9 veg or $10 meat rice bowl to go at Indian spot mehfil right in downtown SF!

Look, regular day to day work lunch simply does not cost $28, that’s just stupid
