Engineering leader, functional programmer, student of leadership, devotee of skills acquisition who slacklines and rock climbs. It's all about balance!
In the coming age of agentic engineering, I think the same things that the industry has considered "good software practices" will ultimately translate into more efficient token utilization.
@cryptopunk7213 > openai acquired peter steinberger and openclaw committing to keep the project 100% open source and make it a core part of openaiβs ecosystem. zuck is fckin fuming.
Anthropic are the ones who really messed that one up with their overzealous lawyers.
We now have a real live multiverse of all the universes created with every different prompt injected into an agent. They exist for the duration of the chat session and end when the context window is reached.
@Visa@crossmint@solana@circle@stytchauth I really hope the solution we get is built on secure public/private key cryptography rather than our current inherently insecure system of credit card numbers that have to be kept secret.
Life advice from Peter Steinberger...
"I think, isn't life all about experiences? If you tailor your life towards, 'I want to have experiences', it reduces the need for 'It needs to be good or bad'. If people only want good experiences, that's not gonna work."
In the world we're moving into of AI-enabled software development, using Haskell and other similarly strongly-typed languages is going to be a massive advantage. They haven't gained mainstream use yet due to the steep learning curve. Well, that's gone now.
@Jonathan_Blow "The way you make code last a long time is you minimize dependencies that are likely to change and, to the extent you must take such dependencies, you minimize the contact surface between your program and those dependencies."
Good advice indeed.
I have seen a shocking amount of bad comments in my software career⦠comments that provide zero additional information. A good rule of thumb is names should communicate the what, the code itself should communicate how, and the comments should communicate the why.
