All models, no matter how smart, will eventually build systems that they can no longer understand or maintain, if you let them. Fable 5 finally outbuilt itself, and flailed on me for a week. Fable 5.1 looks like it will fix it. For now. But you have to keep an iron grip on system size, or it'll run away from you.

I guess, in the age of CoPilot and ChatGPT, proper TDD (red/green/refactor), becomes even more important than it was in the age of copy/paste from StackOverflow. 👨‍🏫

@tferriss Mullvad, IVPN, ProtonVPN or AirVPN are very good, no logs, many ways to connect, good reputation -- all are good choices (used all of them, stayed with Proton but liked Mullvad at least as much).

The secret to becoming a better developer?

Get more sleep.

[Sam Altman @sama]

Generally the highest ROI comes from getting even better in areas where you're already strong, not improving in areas where you're weak.

There are important exceptions, but most people focus on their weaknesses too much.

At both Viaweb and YC, every minute I spent thinking about competitors was, in retrospect, a minute wasted.

Sometimes when I’m programming in JavaScript I just want to yell “Fuck this” but I can’t remember what “this” refers to.
