My hottest take is that you shouldn't watch people die violently. Even objectively bad people. It robs something in your soul and you can't get it back.

"Cringe" has become a slur for sincerity, designed to kill joy and talent starting when we're children.

we used to estimate tasks by t shirt size that didn't correlate to anything really and then write the code by hand. sometimes we would get stuck and have to pair program things

I am a music historian, and with @AdrianRMG I have researched the best-selling single of every decade all the way back to 14,000BC. Here's a thread: 2010s - Ed Sheeran, The Shape of You

If I had a nickel for every charismatic rock-band frontman raised Mormon in Las Vegas named Brandon or Brendon I’d have… two nickels, but it’s still weird it happened twice
You know when you come across a new song and realize it'll be there the rest of your life?

Lasagna is a monoid. Stack two lasagnas, you get one tall lasagna. This is in contrast to e.g. a pizza. Stacking two pizzas does not make a new pizza, the top pizza merely becomes a topping of the bottom pizza Follow me for more categorical insights

I hate this. I hate that people, even when slopping, don't even think about how it works. This has to end poorly and I don't see how an increase in "intelligence" is going to save you from the results of blind feature lust
I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

“Advocates for absolute religious freedom should yield to the reality that in a nation with citizens of many different religious beliefs or disbeliefs, the government must sometimes limit the right of some to act upon some of their beliefs when it is necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all.” —President Dallin H. Oaks, “Faith, Freedom, and the Common Good,” National Cathedral, Washington, D.C.
