winter in nyc exists for two reasons:

- social/hibernation break
- remind us to practice gratitude for how amazing the other three seasons are here

i feel the same way about e-trade

I will personally invest in the first company who can end VFS Global’s monopoly on international visa processing. Truly there is not a worse service full of the most condescending and disparaging employees quite like this dogshit company.

a mockup: doing PR reviews by seeing a programmers chain of prompts!

it also encourages devs to be deliberate with how they instruct llms as they become more capable, and poor human instructions + context ends up being the reason why code doesn't work

Agency > Intelligence

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

Grok explanation is ~close:

“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.

People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.

It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

Stacked diffs would be absolutely epic. If you have experienced using them, then you’ll understand their importance and impact when working in teams/monorepos
