If there are any #Substack users on here, I've made a website that can help you look at your writing progress for any chosen year - It shows you a visualization of when you've written "a la" Github and also the number of posts for that year :) Check it 👇 https://t.co/cTw9hONZri

Left ahead of time to go somewhere and I'm going to be there with plenty of time to spare. Feeling super calm 😳 Is this the high of punctuality 😳 it's strange... it's a new feeling.. I like it...

logic cracking myself c - e) Same as earlier Never Jesus-take-the-wheel off to agents if you care about the internals. And even if you don't, you Should be in control of what's going on and in.

make sure best practices/formatting etc is adhered to along with linters etc. If it's a brand new problem, a) Explore the breadth of the problem by thinking about it to the extent I can and Brainstorm with the llm with websearch tool turned on for verification b) Attempt initial

If it's a problem I've solved before, a) write down all my understanding first. This is my initial universe of truths. b) Use LLMs to create a Skeleton first. c) Write pseudocode for the logic myself. d) Make LLM write code that I EXPECT it to write. e) Review it with LLM to

and frankly, not only was that Faster, it actually made me realise I was getting pigeon holed into believing that the only answers to the problem were the ones the LLMs were giving me. Realized that I'm never using them as a substitute for my brain again. So now this is my SOP -

Yesterday I was Claude-coding and Gemini-cli-ing my way into solving a problem for work and I Know my prompting skills are good, okay. But after $10 (approx) worth of negotiating and wrangling, I finally decided to just break it down myself and solve it "the old fashioned way"

been the reason for your exit. But as long as the rest of the n-1 ppl remember you as a decent/helpful person, you'll only gain more favors over time than not. I've had the fortune of being very cordial with all my ex-colleagues and it's helped me time and time again 😊

Very much this. Corporate circles are very small and intersecting just as much as your circle is expanding. The number of times I've run into ex-colleagues is so high that it's always worth having had a decent bye than a hostile one. It's very possible that 1 person might have

If you're a software engineer (any designation), In the last 45 days of your job, how much of your code is AI generated? Vote and RT , I want to know

Meanwhile companies treating hardworking job seekers I meet - "We'll offer you market-level salaries (as we see the market)" "We don't care that you're a hard worker, we'll still make you jump through crazy hoops" "We will reject you & lament the state of job candidates" 🤷

It's always easy to romanticize the rain when you're not the one getting drenched to the bone.

"The end result".

There used to competence in those fingers. Now I'm not so sure. Now all there is, is hope. Hope that the non-living entity knows what to do because the other party involved is slowly losing track of what they want to see. The only thing "that matters", they say, is -

And now.. you wait. Blankly staring at your screen with a blinking cursor. Waiting for the code to complete itself. I do not know if you know what you want to see with the auto completed content or you've already down so far in the rabbit hole that you don't even know..

I've seen your code. I've seen your github repositories. You've written mountains of lines of code. On your own. With sheer grit and skill and lookups from books and blogs and Stack overflow answers....
