- auslegung parentI would have loved to see their comparison between OpenCode and Claude Code, I'm just hearing about OpenCode and will be setting it up to use tomorrow
- Well written, anticipated my questions about pain points at the end except one: have you hit a point yet where deploying is a pain because it’s happening so frequently? I understand there’s good separation of concerns so a change in marketing/ won’t cause conflicts or anything to impact frontend/ but I have to imagine eventually you’ll hit that pain point. But fwiw I’m a big fan of monorepo containing multiple services, and only breaking up the monorepo when it starts to cause problems. Sounds like author is doing that
- We use Atlassian and they have helpful tools to query across all our knowledge sources: Slack, GitHub, Figma, Google Drive, of course Jira and Confluence, etc. It is VERY helpful. Doing even more, like you describe, sounds great however I would not want it acting independently. I would prefer “pause the underperforming ads” to result in a plan describing what the LLM would do, and require a human to approve. But this is going to change over time as we get more comfortable with these things taking potential destructive actions. Version controlling everything would be ideal so we can inspect what it did and roll it back if desired
- > OSS funding is a hard problem. OSS was best when it wasn't funded at all.
“Best” is subjective yet I don’t disagree. But what you don’t mention, which I think is important to mention here, is the proliferation of OSS that other vital, closed source software (often monetized) depends upon. OSS has always powered vital software, I’m just making the point that it’s increasingly, alarmingly common.
“Alarming” because the OSS developers often feel they should be compensated if their work is monetized and/or powers other vital software. There is a license for this, but it’s difficulty and complicated to enforce. And it’s not surprising for someone to license their work as “do whatever you want with it” at first, only to change their mind later when they see it used in FAANG products. But then it’s too late, and bitterness and anger creep in.
Take the anger and bitterness of a generation+ of OSS developers and you have our current predicament :(
- > These always ignore the fact that a large chunk (maybe the majority?) of OSS development happens during working hours at an existing employer.
Do you have any sources for this? It doesn’t seem right to make a vague statement (a large chunk) which sounds bad, nor a somewhat less vague conjecture (maybe the majority?) without sources.
In my very limited experience, any developer who is significantly supporting OSS with code contributions is a high contributor for their employer, and if they don’t always do the agreed-upon number of hours/week for their employer, I doubt it’s far off. So I disagree with you anecdotally, which doesn’t matter much, and I question your sources, which matters more.
- The first Apple Watch that came with a cellular chip (gen 4?) got me excited to basically do just this. Except 1) the battery life was 1 hour for phone calls 2) charging meant not wearing it 3) voice-to-text is still very spotty for me 4) still needed a smartphone with a cellular plan associated with the Watch.
I just want a wearable that allows me to communicate with people, and get basic info from the web like weather. And that has better battery life. Here’s hoping…
- I backed the Dygma defy https://dygma.com/products/dygma-defy earlier this year. Iirc it was just days or weeks before the kinesis360 announcement. But I don’t care, I’m just so excited for there to be 2 very high quality boards that are really pushing the envelope. Looking forward to comparisons between the two
- I’m of two minds. I work remotely but miss the benefits of the office.
On one hand, I am getting paid over 2x what local companies would pay me, the convenience and flexibility are wonderful WFH, I get to spend more time with my family, etc.
On the other hand, I miss all the things you listed. Plus I’m an advocate of eXtreme Programming, which means pair programming all the time. Pair programming with people who have very different schedules, time zones, etc is difficult.
So for now I’m working from home and trying to recreate some of the things you’ve listed. I work from a friend’s house regularly. I get lunch with former coworkers once a week. I’m active in our local tech community and we have meetups once a month, local conferences, etc. I work from a coffee shop sometimes just to have a change of scenery. It isn’t perfect, but it’s better for me
- > I think a rake is also fine
This! Unless you have a good reason to use a leaf blower (huge yard, physically incapable… that’s it?) use a rake. It’s good for your health to do some manual labor. We’ve spent the Industrial Revolution trying to do less physical labor and we’ve hit a tipping point where many of us are doing far too little.
- You are assuming and generalizing, two things that do not go well with good faith discussion. Part of the legal system being broken includes a prison system that is awful, and unbalanced penalties to the poor. So what I am proposing, "fix the legal system", would address these as well.
- I’m all for accountability, but I feel very uncomfortable with the idea that hundreds or maybe thousands of randos on the internet can ruin someone’s career, even if that person has done something wrong. The legal system should be the solution here but it is broken. Ideally we’d spend our energy fixing it but… easier said than done. So I guess there are no good solutions :( Please tell me I’m wrong
- I use Fastmail for what they call Masked Email, and Privacy.com for unique debit cards for shopping online. They both integrate with 1Password. So when I sign up for a new account, 1Password generates a Masked Email, a random password, and a unique debit card, and saves it all, and I LOVE IT!

- 1. It was relevant to each comment
2. I have no reason to believe that a single comment would reach all 3 posters
3. It was exceedingly, exceedingly ironic that roughly 50% of all top level comments (at the time I wrote my comments) didn’t read and/or pay enough attention to the article when said article _explicitly_ added images of girls in yoga pants to get people to read and/or pay attention to the entire article.
- > books themselves have forums which are moderated by authors and their teams
I have rarely found that to be the case with books I want to discuss with others. When it exists though, this would be a good solution.
> What are your expectations from it?
Today I just want to ask a few questions about An Elegant Puzzle. That could use a common forum website setup. I suppose it could get fancier but I think a forum organized by topic, subtopic, then book would suffice?
- In case anyone cares, I found that Google Calendar has the Time Insights feature which helps a lot with this https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/10738043?hl=en&vi.... Colored labels makes it very easy to see at a glance how much time you spend on things.
If you don't use Google Calendar I'm not sure what to suggest, except to create a different calendar for each label, and export the data into a csv and visualize it in Excel or something?
