@jonathan_emig @ThePrimeagen @tszzl I think you’re confusing two concepts.

Lines of code could be a useful metric for something like: have they probably contributed more or less.

But what’s being argued is using LOC as a referential metric. A stack ranking sort of metric. Not as you suggest, as a magnitude.

@jonathan_emig @ThePrimeagen @tszzl Out of curiosity, do you feel the same way about measuring the success of a company by the number of employees?

[Ben Rooke @bctrooke]

@ThePrimeagen Can you try Throne of Glass? It’s an 8 book series and I think you’ll love it.

@theo @ashleybchae tmux does solve this problem because if you invoke tmux from within the ssh terminal, that tmux session will not die when the ssh session dies.

@kenton_parton @theo Both AWS and GCS have such breadth and depth, it’s all anyone really needs.

@elkelk @theo I don’t think the company is feeling the pain

@imjcmartin @chribjel I mean… does it do more than just read and write to your database? Like schedule long running jobs? Integrated with 3rd party services? Or arguably, more obviously, define business logic?

@patrickDurusau @douzedouze12127 @gnoble79 What does this mean? Closer than most who have the same context and knowledge as the LLM? Closer than the numerous engineers who evidentially can and have built compilers? Or closer than engineers not in the field? Closer than students who have taken compiler theory classes?

@JerryJerrymac80 @smalls2672 @elonmusk @grok can you help answer these questions, with references to sources when relevant?

@dieserluis @theo I think a mat view would actually run against the complete table. The benefit of a background preprocessing job is you could both: a) jitter the run times, and b) re-run a job for a specific user

[Ben Rooke @bctrooke]

@dieserluis @theo It’s sounds like they were created on demand. And it also sounds like they’re using mat views as a way to preprocess. Not sure why they couldn’t have some cron job preprocess everything, since you’d run the same queries the mat views run.

@EtLogique @francisvgarcia @TheAhmadOsman I thought cgroup and chroot jail *were* the lightweight Linux solutions that containerization is built on top of

@jsuarez @willreil I would love for you to elaborate on how Makefile has any negative impact at all, per being “heavy” and “bloated”. Is it weighing something down? Is it forcing you to use too many features?

[Ben Rooke @bctrooke]

@quantumwtf @SayHelloMarcus @ThePrimeagen @60Minutes I fear it might be the case that you just don’t realize it’s hallucinating

@1Farakhan @Kingoftheabyss2 @curiosityonx One example of evolution on a small enough scale that you’d notice: C-sections may be influencing human evolution by potentially contributing to a trend toward narrower pelvises and larger babies, as C-sections remove the selective pressure that favored a smaller babies.

@philofsurprises @nizzyabi I always thought the feat in feature did mean that kind of feat. Like compose to composure. In your example, great strength is the feature.

@_mattwelter Sometimes it can be due to sleep debt + caffeine indulgence.

[Ben Rooke @bctrooke]

@rob_wasabi @ThePrimeagen I’m sorry to hear that.

@JuanCamiloPra16 @ffmpreggo16046 @valigo Alan Kay himself said the same, "I'm sorry that I long ago coined the term 'objects' for this topic because it gets many people to focus on the lesser idea. The big idea is messaging".
