  1. I have healthcare apps. The review process for me consists of some reviewer deciding what set of healthcare features I should have picked from their list and rejecting on that basis. But subsequent reviewers have different opinions. In one app version release I got rejected 5 times for picking the wrong set of healthcare features as either the reviewer changed their mind or I got different reviewers. The app has been on Google play for 13 years.
  2. I poorly worded it. Rafales allegedly shot down. After that happened, perhaps the pilots wanting them over F35s might have a different opinion. F35s might be harder to get a lock on at that distance and might have better situational awareness capabilities.
  3. The pilots might have reassessed after Pakistan seemed to have shot three of them down from over 200km range. Intel failure blamed but likely many factors of which some presumably may be attributed to the planes.
  4. For the same quality and quantity output, if the cost of using LLMs + the cost of careful oversight is less than the cost of not using LLMs then the rational choice is to use them.

    Naturally this doesn’t factor in things like human obsolescence, motivation and self-worth.

  5. I just whack-a-mole these things in AGENTS.md for a while until it codes more like me.
  6. When I lived in SF I walked past this street art a couple of times a week and got a smile.

  7. Slowed the rate of hiring devs.

    Normally as we add enterprise customers we have to dedicate more dev resource keeping them happy. But since Claude code and now codex we have not felt that feeling of not being on top of the work. Thus not feeling the need to hire more devs.

  8. We’ve been in business 15 years. These aren’t POCs. Even at say 20% productivity boost I feel way ahead to give devs 9 day fortnights and soon hopefully 4 day weeks.
  9. As a co-founder and dev at a bootstrapped company I’d say AI has and will slow developer hiring rate. We’re just more productive and on top of things more.

    We’ve also reduced the hours we work per week. We care about getting things done not time behind a screen.

  10. The number of people we are talking about as a percentage of CS like graduates is tiny. They aren’t kids either. It seems like a low risk experiment on both sides.
  11. Paying tax isn’t a big company vs small company thing. A single company not paying tax isn’t that bad directly but it can be infectious. “They don’t pay neither should I” attitude is a problem.
  12. https://youtu.be/Wv5F5N6mFf0?si=uE9fqMC_LdViYJWu. Nice review of how they work and what they feel like.
  13. From my experience, the high performance developers can’t be identified from how they learnt to build software. But I do feel there is some correlation with how much they enjoy solving problems.
  14. Likely. But also could have been some thugs with a wrench in a basement and the sys admin giving up the ssh keys and 2fa etc.
  15. Or the music. It was originally made as a one off for a film festival. Movie industry defended the lawsuit over the music.
  16. The person who leaked it and the person/team that can rotate it might be in different silos or timezones etc. Rewriting the history is prudent but not sufficient.
  17. Arm

    Diamond Aircraft

    Volvo

    Cirrus

    All retained their culture and brand and the products keep improving incrementally. Parent companies keep a low profile wrt product.

  18. Two car family with one plug in hybrid and one EV is a low stress setup. Only uses gas/petrol on road trips.
  19. Undocumented in this context typically means they lack the necessary visas or documents to legally be present or work in the U.S
