I left high frequency trading to join @fuseenergy and had to sit out SIX MONTHS of gardening leave (doing no work).

I believed in Fuse and was desperate to witness its early days (+ I’m not built for prolonged holidays 😅).

I now lead engineering here. I believe in the right to EXIT. If this isn’t the best place in the world for my engineers, they should be free to leave.

I'm at OpenAI's DevDay event in San Francisco today - as I have for the past three DevDay events, I'm running a live blog where I'll be posting updates during the keynote, which starts in five minutes https://t.co/X9DLSS0xbR

@dhh @antirez GLM Flash is decent value

2/ Britain is unusually permissive in its treatment of non-competes, notice periods, and garden leave. These clauses reduce competition, undermine innovation, and lower wages.

They are particularly damaging in the AI sector, where a month locked out of the labour market leaves you far behind.

I have got an old Toshiba Satellite running with @OmarchyLinux but I closed the lid during an upgrade and now I have to re-install 😅

@njordsier @tritlo A for loop is a monad?

@t4t5 @mikker Omarchix soon?

[thomasoncoding @thomasoncoding]

@AndrewOrlowski It actually pretty good at routine analysis now. Needs steering, but it removes a lot of work.

Exactly what a lot of Civil Servants should abuse more of.

@BenBowden72 @chapello 23C in Sept atm :)

Who needs California? :)

@svntsvn77 @RFERL Yeah, but surely base station triangulation would work out that it’s travelling at 400km/h+ and several hundred meters above ground?

How would you compile 30 million lines of PHP? In fact, how do you compile 30m lines of anything without it becoming unusably slow? Julien Verlaguet joins me this week to unpack the secrets to building high performance compilers.

@maxkarpis But AML avoidant behaviour is getting quite normal now. The stricter the checks get, the more normal-ish people trip them, and the more common it is to work around them.

Revolut’s early success is was driven by them having looser checks, and therefore being more reliable.

The more time I spend working with coding agents, the more convinced I am that they make software engineering even harder

We can do amazing things with them, but unlocking their full potential requires extraordinary discipline and knowledge

@AndrewOrlowski You're a bit mean to my AI Safety friends, but well deserved all the same! :)
