Somewhere out there is a guy who uses Notion, Superhuman, OpenClaw on a Mac Mini, Raycast, a mechanical keyboard ($400), Wispr Flow, and gets nothing done every day

I think it must be a very interesting time to be in programming languages and formal methods because LLMs change the whole constraints landscape of software completely. Hints of this can already be seen, e.g. in the rising momentum behind porting C to Rust or the growing interest

honestly the fact coding is over didn't bother me until I relaized my kids are going to think of me like a blacksmith or candlemaker. damn that sucks

One bigass screen will always be superior to multiple monitors

This is good capital allocation, but it requires permanent capital. People don't actually want best returns. They want to feel clever and do some like weird little thing that makes them feel interesting or different or something. But sometimes you just got to do the obvious thing

Waiting for Opus 5 to clean up the mess I’ve made with Opus 4.5

idea guys are in shambles: for years they treated engineers like the tax you pay to manifest “the vision.” hand them a magic build machine and suddenly you find out the vision was mostly vibes and powerpoint. programmer guys are in shambles: for years they watched suits take

programming always sucked. it was a requisite pain for ~everyone who wanted to manipulate computers into doing useful things and im glad it’s over. it’s amazing how quickly I’ve moved on and don’t miss even slightly. im resentful that computers didn’t always work this way

everyone in tech going through the same existential crisis

jumping on the trend - “create an image on how i treated you”

The other side of this: “llms reverts to median” isn’t the critique he thinks it is. Median is a massive upgrade for 99% of people. Curse of brilliance.

I’m surprised people are surprised Ben Affleck is smart. He won a screenwriting Oscar at 25. Great writers are almost always great generalists.
