Writing code was never the bottleneck in software engineering. LLMs made it cheaper to write, not easier to understand, review, or maintain. That’s still the bottleneck. Let’s not pretend it isn’t.

I’m so glad I’ve been vacationmaxxing around Eastern Europe these past few months and getting a break from all this bullshit.

They both think this is some kind of flex.

Customers want useful features, great UX, superb reliability, and fair pricing; they don't give a fuck if you're tokenmaxxing, they don't even care whether it's a human or a robot writing your code.

What a time to be a software engineer; I can finally justify the time I spend exploring edge cases and introducing new ways of testing codebases.

Rules for engaging code reviews:

Unless I'm actually trying to find something, what's even the point of looking at the git log?

In corporate lingo, "I took responsibility and delivered fixes" means you're acting as the ultimate safety net, making you a single point of failure.

Hard disagree. Good taste is a lot more than just experience. There are a ton of experienced engineers with bad taste, and adding more experience won't simply change that.

Database internals are such a cool thing to talk about. I gave a talk about Merkle trees in 2019, and I thought I was talking about something so old that no one cared about it. Fast-forward to 2016, and they're still rocking!

Merkle trees are everywhere:
- ZFS uses them to detect data corruption
- Git uses them to verify repo integrity
- Cursor uses them for codebase sync
- Bitcoin uses them for transaction verification
Talked through how they work on the latest database stream.

Chat, does he know?
Imagina ter todos os riscos de startup e não ter stock options.
Imagina o founder resolve vender do nada a empresa.

Oh, damn, someone gave Claude Code access to VPs and C-levels, we're doomed. We don't need latecomers to a party to preach to you about this again.

A shot of espresso, a square of dark chocolate, a date, and a teaspoon of peanut butter make me happy.
