I really try to make functions pure, one at a time. Avid reader and @pwlporto organizer.

Writing code was never the bottleneck in software engineering. LLMs made it cheaper to write, not easier to understand, review, or maintain. That’s still the bottleneck. Let’s not pretend it isn’t.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

@ptr_to_joel He’s a global joke.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

ahah, mf deleted the post.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

They both think this is some kind of flex.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

@sudo_goreng What about companies with real customers that, instead of improving the things customers complain about, are more interested in playing the AI game?

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

Customers want useful features, great UX, superb reliability, and fair pricing; they don't give a fuck if you're tokenmaxxing, they don't even care whether it's a human or a robot writing your code.

@andrefreitaspt REQUEST CHANGES!

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

What a time to be a software engineer; I can finally justify the time I spend exploring edge cases and introducing new ways of testing codebases.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

I'm tokenmaxxing with the ensemble workflow.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

@thoughtlesslabs Yeah, let's just shut down the internet already, it's over.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

Unless I'm actually trying to find something, what's even the point of looking at the git log?

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

Be real, you jump straight to reading the actual code.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

@ecommerceshares The world is healing.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

In corporate lingo, "I took responsibility and delivered fixes" means you're acting as the ultimate safety net, making you a single point of failure.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

@sudo_goreng You need to see a lot of awful stuff, agree that it's simply awful, and do better. People who don't develop that still have bad taste, even with a lot of experience.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

Hard disagree. Good taste is a lot more than just experience. There are a ton of experienced engineers with bad taste, and adding more experience won't simply change that.

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

2016, LOL!

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

Database internals are such a cool thing to talk about. I gave a talk about Merkle trees in 2019, and I thought I was talking about something so old that no one cared about it. Fast-forward to 2016, and they're still rocking!

[Ben Dicken @BenjDicken]

Merkle trees are everywhere:

- ZFS uses them to detect data corruption
- Git uses them to verify repo integrity
- Cursor uses them for codebase sync
- Bitcoin uses them for transaction verification

Talked through how they work on the latest database stream.

I miss Krakow and Lambda Days 💔

[Pedro Tavareλ @ordepdev]

Shameless plug.
