AI Engineering is saving my mental health

@getpy I’m confused by some of the comments on what this is a strong signal to…

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@getpy "product manager adds new requirement" LOL Yeah, yeah!

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

I think after this talk, I wanna take a step back and explain better on "why DSPy" beyond optimization on a blog post.

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@getpy Absolutely. I do want to see how to illustrate that better for people from other communities, although now I think about it, it might become pure comparison rabbit hole as well. Hmmmm!

@TelepathicPug @DSPyOSS Also: https://t.co/dHj7LPx64q

this is the blog post I referenced

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

Tomorrow I'll focus on my actual and personal experiences as I build many applications with @DSPyOSS, also going to be my first presentation on a TUI :)

@TelepathicPug @DSPyOSS Thank you! I would definitely prepare more 101 introduction in the future, but it's really a great framework :D

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@MaximeRivest Yup. Human level context engineering is missing out. It’s why I stopped having MCPs by default, and barely have rules/skills if any. I also have never ran out of usage for CC. And I love it that it’s a loose cannon because I already control where it can go wild.

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

I'm vibecoding (true to its definition) because of client needs. And I hate it. Absolutely hate the feeling.

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@theo I code with neovim, so it’s perfect for me :) but I also realize it’s a smaller crowd…

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

I just realized, how much better have models gotten. Certain tricks that I used to do, probably are not as important anymore.

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@tech_optimist Ohhh I gotta really take a look then

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@isaacbmiller1 My writing is so unpolished that it’s hard to get mistaken 🥲

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@jamesacowling I’m always confused by this. If there r too many lines changed, ask for split. Just better standards, better checks, already filter a lot. Comm on issues, PRs. Good software takes time to review and build. Why keep on trying to make it “fast”? Just communicate on trade-offs.

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@tech_optimist I see!

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@lateinteraction I find that, because conversation/chat is many people’s first major interaction with NLP, it’s hard to imagine beyond its application when that’s just one of the many possible ways to frame tasks.

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@tech_optimist is my inspiration to write more, and after reading this piece on writing, it's making me think more about how to formulate my ideas into more concrete outlines better. I know my content will be scattered, but hopefully I can have another piece after NYE :D

[Prashanth Rao @tech_optimist]

This year, I've gotten a ton positive feedback on my writing from people in all walks of life: engineers, academics, CEOs, VCs and even non-technical folks. So I put some thought into why that is, and externalized my thinking into this blog post 👇🏽

@CodeByNZ Grpc endpoints. Autocorrect 😓

[Ian Yu @ianyu93]

@CodeByNZ If you use nvim, actually you probably don’t even need to be a regular user, just a bit setup, I reco https://t.co/oR0XqW64zV

It’s light weight (just a file), I can run some rest and grow endpoints before Postman even starts up :D
