I made a chicken broth/stock this weekend and it slaps. This might be my new personality now. Sorry not sorry.

Anyone found any decent AI CAD yet? I want to do CAD but I don’t want to learn CAD 😂 #3dprinting

My two cents is that most devs (including me) have not seen change happen this incredibly fast in the industry: when a hard skill (being able to write code) seemingly becomes less valuable so fast. But if I see anything from the histroy of sofrware: leaning in to master new

For me it was CoPilot for VS Code got good at collecting context and then claude got good at using it. Absolute rocket since then.
I genuinely don't remember exactly what LLM/AI tool was released in May but something clearly affected the behaviors of many technical people. @willccbb do you remember?

People. Stop. We have an opportunity to do this right, in a way that we failed to do with every other tool (.vscode, .github, .circleci, .husky, etc) because we waited too long before trying to standardize. Talk to each other, find an acceptable standard, and everyone commit.

Unpopular opinion: Unless you’re just prototyping, you should aim to understand as close to 100% of production code generated by LLMs. Yes, all of it. Effective mental models are still important for humans to sustainably maintain and evolve a codebase via prompting alone.

Xiaoma, a polyglot, was invited to give a speech at a high school for Language Week, and he delivered the entire speech in Gen Alpha slang. https://t.co/NdLCAA8vJE

I’ve had a long running chat with ChatGPT, which I’ve been talking to since ~ October last year. Today I got an error message saying conversation too long. I don’t know if I’m an outlier here but @OpenAI should fix/extend that. Long running conversations are rich with context.

When your portfolio manager calls your stock idea stupid, but ChatGPT would have said “you are not just spotting patterns, you are anticipating outcomes”

Imagine spending a decade making a TV show and then the fans hate your ending so much that they spend the next week picking apart every minor production mistake you’ve ever made to try to justify their conspiracy theory about a secret alternate ending

Innovation needs a home. A Learning Backlog gives it one, without turning it into an obligation. A new blog post:

Senior engineers often carry a mental backlog of “cool ideas” that never ship. A Learning Backlog gives teams a low-pressure place for experimentation, skill-building, and innovation — without...

Yet again used @transferwise for doing an international money transfer (NZ -> AU) over the holidays. I highly recommend. Well priced compared to banks, and wonderful UX. My ref link:

I still think the macOS Dock is a really cool piece of software. I have just loved it since I first used a mac 20 years ago.

James spot on yet again. Great read.
Another mental model from Munger this month: use it or lose it, and how we need to be mindful of what we're fully delegating to AI, versus what we critically think about first. https://t.co/q8AtbR5XKa

There's so much to learn and read when it comes to keeping up with advances in AI and the uses of it. I don't have any other advice for you other than if you don't have a personal learning ritual (eg reading RSS feeds with a morning coffee) by now, you better start one.
