it’s pretty clear to me that the ceiling and the floor of software quality are going to start accelerating away from each other at the speed of light

ya i don't think people have thought about this fully solutions to problems becoming more bespoke, and private, isolated, and illegible to others does seem to imply problems that show up at scale (beyond the level where any individual with an agent could solve) will be harder to solve, not easier

seattle stay winning

If Tron was real do you think the little computer guys would judge us. Probably, right? They'd have nothing to do but see our terrible code running. They'd watch a memory leak like "umm hello?"

kind of tragic that there’s no number of subs @gracekind.net could lose and win top chicken, as the rules of the contest are designed to exclude them. it’s like creating a “best basketball player in the world who is shorter than shaq” competition

rule of thumb for “regular” search: it sucks and you need a full-time person to pamper it if you want to get consistently decent results from it rule of thumb for agent-driven RAG: it fuckin’ whips and you can get omniscient-level results from a weekend of hacking

mr. TIM@timkellogg.me · yesterday

rule of thumb for RAG/vector search: if you would consider it a bug if it returned less than 100% of the hits, then vector search is not for you, you’re looking for SQL

I'm not going to QT but there's a silicon valley NIMBY complaining about maintaining the historical character of Palo Alto and man that place should look like fucking singapore. Market cap of tech companies based in and around there is like $14 trillion and it's full of fucking bungalows? So broken

The Shape of Things to Come, Part 2: Model Welfare for Agentic Engineers — Steve Yegge

Part 2 of The Shape of Things to Come. Model welfare as an engineering discipline: seats and sessions, laurels, handoffs instead of /exit, and how to build a city worth waking up in.

i love bluesky because you can be arguing with someone named like “Big Titty Sleestak Girlfriend” and then you look up their domain name and it turns out they have 12 patents from intel

i have been using rust for one(1) week and it has generated 145 GB of inscrutable on-disk artifacts

ok so the first rule is you're gonna have to spend a FUCKTON of tokens. no, MORE than that. keep going. tbh, you're gonna need a whole second job to pay for these tokens, which i also have a course for
