Fun fact: many of the most common terms, both formal and informal, for genitalia in Spanish, have the "opposite" grammatical gender vis-a-vis the sexual gender they signify.
In this thesis I will
at lunch I had pasta puttanesca and I thought, surely that doesn't mean "whore pasta." it must be a funny Italian/Spanish cognate. but actually it turns out it really does mean whore pasta
tbh I miss the part of my previous life where I got to walk out of the courtroom with the judge and see the mask come off as soon as we were in chambers
Funny enough, my most positive professional experiences as a class are with General Counsel.
Seems like the kinda job you just smoke a cigarette and rub your eyes saying "oh my God not this shit again" and "please repeat what you said they did," all day – forever.
And the LLMs can't "just write it for you". The LLM needs to know what it is that's being shipped. And if it's new, well, by definition the LLM might not... Know about it? Or be able to explain it very well.
@dabit3 I feel you, bro.
There are best practices, that technical writers have employed for a long time. But when the engineers are supercharged to ship even faster, insisting on having the time to document and explain what they're shipping gets even harder.
Wow, after 14 years of being a software developer I would have never guessed in a million years that writing, specs, and ideas would be the bottleneck for my expressivity and output.
But here I am, 5 agent loops running in perpetuity, spending 100% of my time finding the fastest and most optimal ways to generate specs for my next dozen agent loops.
And I'm realizing that the process of getting thoughts out of my head and into proper specs is an art in and of itself. And finding new and better workflows for this process is completely new and uncharted territory, there are no "best practices" because the tooling, techniques, and design space improves and expands every hour.
I am so excited to see an Ethereum Magicians post with a) an acronym I have no idea what it means yet and B) An exciting new word to add to the dictionaries spellcheck file
Ganache's ETH JSON-RPC docs were hands-down the most interactive, clear, and complete I've ever seen.
I couldn't figure out how it worked, so I asked the guy who built it:
"That site is Ganache; the interactive sandboxes are Ganache instances running in your browser." 👑 ❤️🔥🐐
