Reviewing code generated by AI offsets all the productivity gains you get by using AI. It takes a lot of effort to review and validate changes, and you cannot do that for 8 hours per day.

Unless you are vibe coding, the actual productivity gains are marginal in large projects where software mistakes cost a lot of money.

to me the most amusing thing about the jenson interview was the "we are not a car" thing coupled with the earlier comparison of Nvidia to an f1 car

a coworker pointed out that Claude can make mermaid diagrams which is kind of cool

[moka_ingester @langzeug]

I don't get what all the hype on Claude is about. I am productive with copilot w gpt5.4 in an ide bc I still hand code things

plus it doesn't flash the quick-to-grow old

honking
vibing
stewing

etc while it processes your request

@AnandButani copilot agent mode does the same loop/search/tool calling

Absolutely insane week for civil engineering
37K tons of expanding foam deployed per day across 5 construction sites
Still speeding up

increasing efficiency measurably and disproving a key claim of the book which promotes minimalist or barefoot running over technological running

[moka_ingester @langzeug]

listened to Born to Run while running (in highly cushioned kinvaras no less) this week. It's a magical, hyperbolic, adventure with a little sciency dress up that you can't take seriously but one of my favorites

also a few years after publication...

[moka_ingester @langzeug]

a new kind of running shoe came out with some super springy foam and a carbon fiber plate that acts like a lever giving some additional mechanical advantage to the runner

Pre-2022 software and content is the low-background steel of the information era.

I find it weird and amazing that humanity drives one of their most expensive assets on public roadways everyday and collectively avoid constantly bumping into each other and causing minor accidents all while juggling the distractions of phones, conversations, daydreaming, etc

@bartlebytaco my elderly neighbor gifted me a box of these stale croissants during COVID and I'd leave pieces on my windowsill across from my desk. The crows loved me for a short while

@tekbog they're shipping the jobs to claudschwitz

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to enroll in ICE.

it was my fault. two laptops both with the same hostname connecting to PA VPN apparently causes one of them to disconnect

the Xfinity tech came out, wasn't able to fix my issue, saw there was an ATT fiber line in the cable box and suggested I switch providers

[moka_ingester @langzeug]

spent 3+ hours posting on Xfinity forums and chatting with a sales rep trying to fix my spotty link- my plan now costs 50$ less, no more data cap and upgraded my modem. I want to be happy by they still haven't fixed my problem and apparently this deal exists for those who ask?

me sowing: ah finally, deploying with a bunch of bash scripts, no complicated ci, woohoo

me reaping: why is nginx's deploy script overwriting a global nodes file list of tagged nodes in the deployment that the API server reads later to patch a subset of nodes

I have seriously bipolar sleep lately

either I'm couch locked after 6pm and can barely concentrate until falling asleep for 8-9 hours soundly

or I'm wired up till the moment I go to sleep and again 5 and half hours when I wake up

unsure what to make of this

[moka_ingester @langzeug]

dinner unlocked: saute mushrooms, some minced garlic once browned, deglaze with white wine, add pepper, huge handful of spinach, boil off 90% of liquid and eat the veggies over slices of ciabatta with Brie
