A good general rule for optimizing your coding loop right now is if something *feels* tedious and annoying, you should take a step back and ask yourself how an agent or simple tool an agent can build can make it less tedious. For example, if line-by-line code review is tedious, what artifacts or proofs could you generate that would give you both understanding and confidence in a given change so that reviewing it isn't a slog?

GPT-6.1 Sol is horribly slow and breaks everything. Fails regularly at understanding its environment and rampages around in a haze, triggering review denials and ruining everything it touches. This model is a disease. Do not use.

Going to be honest... I have almost entirely stopped using GPT since Opus 5.5. Partially because the performance is of Anthropic's new model has been so great, and partially because I never had any quota left on my Codex sub after a couple of days of usage.

I took on some tech debt yesterday for the sake of launching a customer feature asap, and then rearchitected it away 15 mins later. No more tech debt accruing interest - the only debt is comprehension debt.
The cost of introducing and paying off tech debt has changed very, very much and I don't even know most of us have the time and space to think about what it means Tech debt has been so central to the software craft for decades, and now... how much does it matter?

Österreich führt mit Oktober eine Paketsteuer von € 2,00 pro Bestellung ein. Steuerschuldner ist der Versandhändler. Nun schlagen die Versandhändler die Paketsteuer einfach auf den Preis auf, aber das beste daran, nein nicht € 2,00 sondern € 2,40 weil Ust. 😂😂 Eine Steuer auf die Steuer, abgewälzt auf die Konsumenten. 😂😂 Sorry, aber das ist echt witzig 😂😂🥲

Mega 💯 Somit wird die nächste Urlaubsfahrt nach Kroatien durch Slowenien schon zu gut 70% autonom werden 😎 Im Entwicklungsland Österreich 🇦🇹 🍌 fahr ich halt noch selber …

Oh my god, Firebase’s SDK started to crash ALL iOS apps that were using it, for ALL sessions, just like that, no way for any of these apps to do anything… How amateur is all of this from any SDK, but especially one from a company with as high of an engineering bar like Google…

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Astra is really, really cool but I cannot current trust it for my present day engineering. At least until I have adjusted. Some random thoughts including code samples of what I recovered from my traces. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/9/7/as…

Replying to @thenanyu
That explains why the search in linear is still useless. Maybe ask a real person instead next time 🙈

One lesson from implementing @stripe -- A significant weakness is the inability to version products/prices. Juggling metadata, lookup keys, and active vs. archived prices adds complexity.

Remember back when we all read Clean Code and then to do one thing we wrote 25 small functions across several files instead of one 20-line function that you could look at and say "I know exactly what this function is doing"

Absolutely zero offense to the author, but how can anyone open this test and even begin to understand what's going on here? It succeeds – what exactly does it verify? It fails – what exactly is broken? That's the kind of code that mocking frameworks inevitably bring you toward.

10x engineers blah blah blah who cares. The engineers that impress me the most are the ones that fearlessly dive into code, domains they know absolutely nothing about and end up producing amazing work in a short amount of time anyways. Truly awe-inspiring every time I see it.

Recursive sum/union types with exhaustive pattern matching is by far and away the highest leverage programming language feature post lambdas, I wish every language would adopt

A common mistake: "Let's abstract this in case we want to replace it later." Examples: 🚫 "Let's abstract React in case we switch JS frameworks." 🚫 "Let's abstract Tailwind in case we switch CSS approaches." 🚫 "Let's abstract Mongo in case we switch Databases". This is typically a waste of time, and often hinders current use too. Why? Because to effectively abstract something, we need to know the API we're abstracting. But we have no idea what a new technology's API will be. Thus, we have no idea whether our abstraction will work with the new technology. In summary, abstraction can be useful. But avoid abstracting merely to support changing to some unknown future technology.
