Story points are useless. The real measure of productivity is shipping software.

so cool @AnthropicAI figured out a way to trick paying customers into beta testing their guardrails
had an idea for a big fable project, set it up, and let it cook came back an hour later and it had triggered the safeguards and fell back to 4.8 10 minutes in back to codex 😬

The Oldest House has fallen. Everything it contained is now loose in Manhattan. Dylan Faden is humanity's only hope. Dive into paranatural Manhattan in our newest trailer for CONTROL Resonant, featuring an original song by Vilma Jää. #CONTROLResonant

will be very interesting to see the post mortem on this one

Google Cloud has blocked our account, making some Railway services unavailable. We have escalated this directly with Google. The Railway Platform team has since confirmed access to Google Cloud and is working on restoring access to all workloads. We have access to some of our Google Cloud–hosted infrastructure and are working to restore the rest of the service. We apologize for the disruption.

I have developed a rule of thumb for when it's best to code by hand. If I don't understand the problem super well, I'll start digging in with an agent and gaining familiarity. However, if after 10-15 minutes of prompting, the solution isn't something that I feel I could implement myself, it's time to go do it by hand. I do it the way I did pre-AI. Finding the relevant code, reading and understanding it, and trying out various ideas. Usually when I'm about 30-50% done, the system is mapped out really well in my mind, and all that remains is execution. Then I'll write up a detailed spec and ask the agent for feedback. It almost always finds edge cases I didn't consider and "gets" where I'm going with it. I let the agent take it forward and also have it do the things I usually don't have patience for, like TDD and running all the tests and whatnot. The grunt work. What's nice is that I am fully qualified to review the code afterward and, not only that, any future agentic work on that system is easier. I understand it better because I did the manual work. It's still really fast and it makes future work faster. It's this kind of hybrid human agent workflow that makes me feel superhuman.

At some point, and it's difficult to figure out this point ahead of time, it pays off more to just do it manually. Having a good sense in your mind what are the edges of your system that can suffer a little slop, and what are the central avenues is more important than ever.

Security through obscurity is just admitting your threat model is 'please don't look.' Open source means anyone can find the bug. Closed source means only attackers bother to.

De toekomst van mobiliteit is aangebroken FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 & will begin rolling out in the country shortly!  Trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, it can drive you almost anywhere under your supervision – from residential roads to city streets & highways No other vehicle can do this.  We're excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimed…

For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound. At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. go.nasa.gov/4tlRfRS

`Cannot infer type argument(s) for <R> map(Function<? super T,? extends R>)` this has to be the most fucking useless compile error in the world - how is anyone supposed to figure out what's wrong when half of the screen has red squiggles???

your biggest enemy is still complexity. it's also your agent's biggest enemy. but it has no holistic view of your code base, so it keeps adding complexity. and you think that's how it's supposed to be, because the clanker shat it out, and you don't know the stack. glhf!
