That's silly. He can only go to one prison at a time.

I just spent about a month using Claude 3.7 to write a new feature for a big OSS product. The change ended up being about 6k loc with about 14k of tests added to an existing codebase with an existing test framework for reference.

For context I'm a principal-level dev with ~15 years experience.

The key to making it work for me was treating it like a junior dev. That includes priming it ("accuracy is key here; we can't swallow errors, we need to fail fast where anything could compromise it") as well as making it explain itself, show architecture diagrams, and reason based on the results.

After every change there's always a pass of "okay but you're violating the layered architecture here; let's refactor that; now tell me what the difference is between these two functions, and shouldn't we just make the one call the other instead of duplicating? This class is doing too much, we need to decompose this interface." I also started a new session, set its context with the code it just wrote, and had it tell me about assumptions the code base was making, and what failure modes existed. That turned out to be pretty helpful too.

In my own personal experience it was actually kinda fun. I'd say it made me about twice as productive.

I would not have said this a month ago. Up until this project, I only had stupid experiences with AI (Gemini, GPT).

Santa?

Maybe the hawk had a sweet tooth?

The current administration is advocating for a ceasefire while Trump is literally on the other line with Bibi trying to thwart the negotiation. These things are not the same.

Personally: Synergy (a formerly OSS software KVM). GlassWire.

Professionally: IntelliJ. Datadog.

If you have multiple pets that can be harder than it sounds. And if you don't have a ton of money the good solutions (e.g. locked feeders with RFID tags) can be pricy.

It was a male-targeted soap opera.

This still makes me mad.

In the US the ruling party fills lifetime judicial appointments, which means the 4 years of conservative rule can have decades of lasting impact that will thwart any progressive policies that the next leftish government tries to implement.

My wife and I drive almost the same model of Audi, separated by a couple of years. One still has physical buttons for infotainment and one has a touch screen, but both support Android Auto and CarPlay.

I prefer the physical controls for it, because I can glance at the screen and know "turn right two clicks and press down" to get where I want, and then look back at the road while I do it.

Teaching assistant. At my school they were enrolled grad students who helped professors with grading, tutoring, etc.

"Heulyn" pronounced Hay-lynn.

An old colleague used to say something like "pretty much all developers agree that it's harder to debug code than to write it. So if you write code that takes all of your brain power to write, by definition you'll be unable to debug it."

There is a gulf between people who are paid well for their valuable labor (even into the millions of dollars) and the capital class who primarily profit on the labor of others.

Rent seeking is a big driver of "eat the rich".

Watch him mop the floor with Tucker on Crossfire.

For large scale compute clusters with elastic load I absolutely care. The difference between one and five minutes of boot time when I ask for a hundred new instances to be provisioned is huge in terms of responsiveness to customer requests.

The data does not bear out the assertion that it's actually higher productivity. They just don't want to pay for empty real estate. It's a sunk cost fallacy.

I've always heard it as "only break one law at a time."
