Andrew Brown

An author—of literature and code—combining both making video games. See also @IndentLabs and @ChromaGolem. I also publish short stories, poems, and books.

> Codex: You're totally right, I went ahead and built that new script instead, I left the old script that I built 30 seconds ago as a legacy/compatibility layer in case any users might be using it

(the game, not the video 😅)

@ubuto23 @benspringwater What part of it is false?

@antoniosarosi As long as context windows are a constraint, IMO higher-level languages have a token advantage when it comes to understanding more of the project/context.

@_arohan_ The part I’m still figuring out: the compression is real but our nervous systems aren’t built for it. The exhaustion isn’t from the work - it’s from making decisions at a pace we never evolved for.
Curious how you think about that adjustment on the research side?

while my friends played starcraft, i studied the compiler. and now you come to me ...

wait hold on your saying niche computer knowledge is commoditized now and what matters is coordinating a bunch of agents with lots of quick task switching and high APM

90% of the time you don’t need a DevOps guy.

You need a C++ guy, a SQL guy, and one fat server with a lot of ram.

StackOverflow used to run on *one* SQL Server with a hot spare.

@jjanezhang treat your code like bonsai, ai makes it grow faster, you have to prune it from time to time to keep its structure and establish the overall design

@atensnut What makes you think these aren't DC residents?

@allisx86 That's Brave for you lol, it's probably secretly mining crypto in the background

@veggie_eric That said,

1) I probably would have learned more/faster with other methods, but Duolingo is a nice gamified "bare minimum" compared to doing nothing at all.

2) I'll probably quit after I actually hit 1000 days since they removed free practice, pushing people to pay.

[Andrew Brown @drusepth]

@veggie_eric My best attempt...

Jag kan talar lite svenska eftersom jag studerade det på Duolingo i nästan 1000 dagar. Jag studerade också i en skola för en månad. Jag kan läsa och skriva men jag vet inte hur bra jag kan tala det.

unpopular opinion: if you spend enough time vibe coding, you'll eventually learn to code

@realjohnlinton @TheAppleDesign Is it really more for less if you're generally still paying for more, though?

@DarthThraken @notch Yep, been working remotely since 2016 here. Relocating for a job is a joke unless it's somewhere you already wanted to move to and the job just foots the bill.
