After using Tmux since 2015, I started using herdr for agents, and it's pretty great.

Adverse side effects of creatine are generally less severe than GLP-1s

Is there a reason you think 4chan would be auth right rather than lib right?

I’m in the tiny minority.

> devs just writing their own random queries.

I've spent a lot of time writing my own random queries. I don't know that I've ever written a stored function.

Small-language models also use GPT. And I agree it's not "LLM vs RL" and that they're orthogonal, however, RL has features that more clearly resemble intelligence.

I think it's a bit nuanced, and maybe poorly explained by the original author, but to me, "left-pathers" are always "move fast and break things" to the point that whatever they build really only works as a throw-away prototype, and the effort to architect sensibly is minimal.

"We don't really need to use REST, we can just create some endpoints that have undocumented side-effects. We don't need to abstract vendor calls into a separate class, we can just implement that functionality directly in our endpoint code."

These sorts of decisions aren't actually materially faster, they're just lazier. And maybe that's "a sprinkle of QC"? But it's a lot of unforced errors that don't really save time to implement, and also create a lot of problems later on.

On the other end, with the "right-pathers", you can have people that really try to over-engineer at any opportunity. This is sort of typical of people who have worked in much larger teams. This can mean building out a k8s cluster when you're still a team of 2-3 people, splitting into 10+ microservices, deciding to use Kafka when a simple queue system would work, building out in-house load balancing for dubious reasons, etc.

The middle path is really something that resembles the "Best Simple System for Now" — when I've done this, I think about how I can solve a problem and not have to rebuild it entirely within 12-18 months.

I’ll go on record and say that AGI will never happen (in the next 50 years). I think that’s also the timeline for white-collar job automation that requires critical thinking.

If this is true, who is the EU-equivalent of Palantir?

With integers/floats, he's saying it's not opinionated enough. Anything other than integers with minor-unit precision, unless you have a very good reason, is a bad idea. So "floating point is almost a bad idea" doesn't go far enough, and the other alternatives are presented somewhat equally.

The FX critique is saying that it's glossing over a lot of the complexity. I'd say the same is true for the treatment of DE ledgers, and it borders on bad advice (e.g. "Balance is never stored. It’s derived from the movements of money.")

Yeah, if blockers are coming out in 1-on-1 meetings, that’s a really bad sign

Without regulation, yes. Brokers (i.e. scalpers) will buy up tickets to events and take all of the risk off of TM’s plate, and reprice however they’d like. ~80% of tickets in the U.S. are sold this way. Stubhub has done a great job of lobbying for this since their existence depends on ticket brokers.

Something different that other folks might not have thought of: Robust multi-environment infra deploy scripts that leverage terraform + AWS SSO

I've found that converting stuff that's previously been very ops-cli heavy into very detailed skills has worked really really well.

I use Claude Opus 4.8 + Conductor as my daily driver
