Making on weekends and when I feel like it

[Sergei @s_mage]

Haha I tried to prompt my way through making a swift app and it became a mess very quickly. Tauri was much better dev experience. So, can relate.

[Jamie Birch @birch_js]

Ask yourself why OpenAI, with all the resources in the world to develop a native app via LLMs, still ended up migrating their feature-complete native app to Electron.

taking last version of bun written in zig and trying to apply ZSF recommendations and upgrade to the latest zig would be a fun project (with a very specific definition of fun)

@GergelyOrosz But slack is already invented, go iterate there

@GergelyOrosz > onsite

why shooting themselves in their feet

[Jodi Beggs @jodiecongirl]

a great example here of how all the data science in the world cannot make up for a lack of domain knowledge, since many customers can explain the phenomenon pretty clearly

The goal is to make all interfaces look as cool as debug interfaces.

If you download the SVG file of the flag of the Electorate of Baden from Wikipedia, you will see that some psychopath decided to make it out of a circle for some reason

that was about my Boring Tomorrow nvim theme

Detached syntax highlighting from colors

(to an extent, some bits are still ugly on some themes)

but it's Monday already, so a blog coming later

[Sergei @s_mage]

@thenanyu Yeah, and the reviewers job here is to notice untested bits, be it video or unit tests.

Sure checking out to the branch and clicking around is good, but it saves time of reviewer to make author iron at least some of the things out to be able to record that video.

I woke up and chose to be a data point.

Tried to get through @KLM support robot for few days to understand if I should buy tickets through AMS without having a Schenghen visa, never did. Decided that the answer is no because if anything happens I will be on my own.

[Sergei @s_mage]

Tag yourself I guess. My favourite hats are Builder and Sweeper.

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:

1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales

Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.

A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:

- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2

Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

If you've spent half your life not knowing what the sunk-cost fallacy is, it's probably not worth learning it now.

[Sergei @s_mage]

I hate it when people have potentially good ideas and then promote them with lies.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

ISIS killed somewhere between 60,000 to 80,000 people in the last 10 years

Degrowth has killed at least 250,000 people in just the last 5 years by avoiding people installing ACs in Europe

So degrowth is literally a death cult and this week they proved that once again

@zydrach Ненастоящий сварщик, но возможно тебе не надо прям систему, а можно просто любой access point поставить на втором этаже. Особенно если в стенах кабель интернетный есть.

В таком случае удобно брать девайсы с power over ethernet, штоб кабель был один

You guys HOLY SHIT. This is like meeting a celebrity
