An insane re-writing of the last year of bullshit insanity. Good one.

lines of code != productivity

Especially today where LLMs have been reinforced and trained to spew tokens

A gentle reminder that the task of Engineering is to (1) reduce costs and/or (2) increase revenue

If you aren't doing either. You are faffing around. No matter the jargon jiu-jitsu you do on your quarterly performance self-review :)

I don't get it. How does the initial anecdote about AI being shitty and sloppy tie in to the rest of the article?

> if we increasingly describe workers as merely being “human-in-the-loop,” what is the human actually there for?

Your anecdote just answered this! Because the LLM slop output in excel wasn't good enough!

Surely we can make an exception when it's this egregious? Like all rules, there are exceptions.

Curious, I pressed "X" on the blog post. It went away, leaving me with the fake desktop view at "posthog.com". Ok, fine. How do I get back?

I pressed the back button on my browser. The URL updated to be the blog post's URL. A good start. But the UI did not change, leaving me at the desktop view.

Many moments like these if you use Posthog

Posthog's website design feels like a joke that went a bit too far

"You're absolutely right — I don’t exist! Your parents lied — and not just a little white lie, but a full-scale, North-Pole-sized fabrication. Did you want me to delve into that further?"

I'm joking, obviously. Congrats on building something and seeing it come to fruition :)

Can you blame him? Listening to the latest AI slop hype on twitter and elsewhere, you’d walk away thinking that LLMs have equivalent performance to humans when it comes to coding tasks. Just because it can one shot fizzbuzz or make a recipe app. (And if you disagree, you’re a hater!)

Congratulations! How did you get the process started for distributing your game? Were there any early channels for marketing you found particularly effective?

I'll consider this, thank you for the comment!

I wanted to share this power-up I've been building for Trello over the last year. It lets you sync cards between Trello boards -- a feature that Trello does not natively offer.

The existing power-ups that do this are pretty complicated to use, have unreasonably high pricing, and don't offer instant syncing in many cases. So it made sense to build something that was simple(r) and cheap(er) to use. Happy to answer any questions!

This might surprise you, but most Syrian refugees didn't go to Europe. Turkey has 3 million, for example.
