if you're in tokyo and want to grab a coffee and talk tech, my dms are always open. always down to meet others doing interesting work out here

I'm grateful to have taught myself to code when debugging was the actual education. You'd sit there staring at a stack trace for 45 minutes, mass googling, and pouring over stackoverflow answers. It was painful, but at the end of it you knew your codebase intimately

Now that the fix is usually one or two prompts away people just plow right past it (myself included). I left corporate Nov 2024 but I'm positive the industry is being flooded with juniors who can ship like crazy but can't answer a single question on how anything works. They're getting answers without ever learning how to form the question and I don't think enough people are worried about that

every time i go to saizeriya i genuinely cannot comprehend how they make money

Every AI tool has a mass conversion event where the entire community decides overnight that it's trash. Cursor had it. Claude code had it before fable. Now I feel like gpt is a few weeks away if they don't drop something good.

The loyalty cycle is like 6 weeks long

fun fact typos in the middle of words basically don't matter at all but typos towards the beginning/end have a higher chance of being read wrong bc it can result in different tokens

the models will still understand if you mess up a few words ofc

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

@_ARahim_ @bcherny only boomers fix typos in prompts. llms perfectly understand you even if you mistype.

yesterday I spent $85 on a kapital jacket in tokyo that would cost $600+ on grailed. the arbitrage between japanese secondhand stores and western resale is genuinely stupid and I will never be able to pay retail again without feeling scammed

when I left my corporate job people kept asking what my plan was. my plan was to stop wanting to die on sunday nights. that was the whole plan. it's been a resounding success so far.

@pmarca minus the bugs this sounds p chill

[Cam @ceeebeeebeee]

is there any clearer evidence of blatant manipulation than this?

LMAO he did it again

every company with a developer relations team should be forced to make their own engineers use only their public docs for a month

[Cam @ceeebeeebeee]

@Byysid @athcanft surely reddit accounts are dirt cheap though

[Cam @ceeebeeebeee]

anthropic releasing fable 5 and clearing the usage window on the same day is hilarious

[Cam @ceeebeeebeee]

@quanghuynt14 have you tried giving it any complications? would be interesting

[Cam @ceeebeeebeee]

@athcanft no analytics? logging?

[Cam @ceeebeeebeee]

@LexnLin bro what was the /goal prompt structured like to get this? Extremely explicit or did you allow it to think for itself?
