Would Altman shine within Microsoft? Seems like raising capital is his main skill set, and theres no need for that now. But from Microsofts point of view this prevents a new competitor from popping up.

It might have been a ”continue where you left off” player that always showed on the main page or something like that.

Continuing is never desirable so I always had to waste a click closing that so it wouldnt obscure part of the screen.

I tried that once, but paying changed the ui in some way that I found to be a huge degradation. Dont remember what exactly it was, but now Im using the adblocker again. Just ublock works fine btw, as long as you keep it and its filters up to date.

Your family is not the intended audience for the code. If the reviewer isn’t either, then they have no business reviewing your code.

Sure, but in those industries the users leave, the company suffers and the executives get fired. VC are attracted to moaty business models where users cant leave.

This only happens when the users are the product or its a marketplace. Most business models dont suffer from shittification. But VCs love investing in the ones that do.

This architecture completely ruins your write performance. Theres a reason double databases, one OLTP and one OLAP, is the norm.

Its also that the longer journey increases the variation in arrival time thus increasing the risk of not making the transfer.

Ive gotten some use out of ChatGPT for system design. I describe my problem, it recommends solutions, I ask follow up questions and add more context etc… Just like I would work with an actual collegue. Then in the end I still have to go to the source docs but the option space is often so large that I find this initial back and forth very helpful.

Coding tools, like Copilot, are completely useless on the other hand. I think they would need to be integrated with the compiler and the IDEs indexes to be of real value. Perhaps you would also need another network architecture than transformers to really understand the tree shaped nature of code as well.

Theyre already noticably plataeuing when it comes to coding, which similarly requires you to navigate tree structures and plan how to connect existing things together using shortest paths rather than inventing things out of thin air.

If you don't want to publish events from uncommitted transactions you'll have to first store them in a local table and then move them to the queue after the commit. But if all consumers have direct access to the database anyway...

The problem is that it should be the caller that decides which category the error falls within, but most languages forces the callee to choose.

> Theoretically, there could be a harmless person on the list that was put by an opponent to destroy them.

Thats exactly why you dont leak the list. Furthermore, making the list public increases the incitaments for adding innocents to it.

Ive been curious about that book ever since Rich Hickey recommended it but couldnt easily get my hands on a copy and kinda forgot about it. This was a great review; Im going to give it another try.

VS Code is actually pretty good at Typescript though, so I could be wrong about JS.
