It is impossible to call yourself an experienced infrastructure/distributed systems engineer if you have consistently switched jobs every two years. You become a rockstar engineer by building complex infrastructure, operating them at scale, migrating users, fixing issues and…


The same logic applies to Excel. You pay not always because you can't do it, but also because you don't want to.

OpenAI's AgentKit launch shows the industry is still thinking in old paradigms. Visual builders and drag and drop canvases feel like we're recreating no-code tools from a decade ago. The real breakthrough will be a conversational agent that lets you describe what you want in…

Spot on. Also never jump ahead and fix something without understanding why it exists in first place.

I keep observing how a bunch of large companies have *really* smart engineers doing *really* complex+challenging+interesting work and... no one knows about it outside. I only get to know about it by chance. Sometimes it's the PR policies stopping talk about this, but more often:

This is going to be ironic coming from me but the best software engineers I've ever worked with and that you can ever hire are the ones with no online presence, no GitHub activity, and spent the last 10 years of their life working at the most boring company you can ever imagine.

Amazon AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'


How long before people intentionally put in typos to make sure people believe an LLM didn’t write a thing?



The more useful things you build, the more new things you’ll find yourself needing to build on top of them. With AI speeding things up, you’re not finishing faster, you’re just unlocking the next layer faster.


Best way to plan a release? Write the release notes first for the end customer. It helps you focus on what really matters. Once you know what's worth announcing, the roadmap writes itself. Build backwards from impact not features.


ChatGPT google docs integration is terrible.

With so many proprietary tools in this space, its probably a good idea to standardize on aider.chat

Claude Code, OpenAI Codex (CLI) and now Gemini CLI - we need a name for this category of AI-assisted terminal tools, maybe "terminal agents"?
