Ed and his class of people are entertainers that get confused at experts for journalists. None of them toil at the prompt sorting things out directly. The media entertainment class frustrates me. They often spread sound bites that are off by big margin and shift markets. I find podcasters that are curious about a subject are better at finding the truth about a tech subject then finance wonks that chatter about sounds bites.

Creepy robots doing warehouse work. No prerecording. No safety net. No celebration. Just robots with name tags and people watching their job market die in real time.

very cool idea

Right On! I use Zed and appreciate what the team is building.

I have just started to enjoy Claude Code CLI. I thinking about my next steps.

I have not finished reading the entire post bacuase it is packed. Good stuff.

must have at least once

I started hacking web projects and messing with Slackware in the mid90s as a self taught dev. Before that I was always building things on my computer it felt more like creative exploration or entreatment than academic discipline which is why I never pursued a CS degree.

Whats fascinating is how differently CS trained and self taught developers approach problems CS grads often bring systematic thinking and solid theoretical foundations they'll architect elegant solutions and consider edge cases upfront Self taught folks myself included tend to be more experimental willing to hack together quick prototypes and iterate rapidly Ive found the magic happens in small teams that blend both approaches The CS trained developers provide structure while the self taught crowd brings creative problem-solving and isn't afraid to break conventional rules... sometimes there are no rules. Has anyone else noticed this dynamic Im curious if others see different complementary strengths between these backgrounds or if this varies by company culture domain

I agree with your point. After working with LLMs and building apps with them for the past four years, I consider myself a veteran and perhaps an authority (to some) on the subject. I find developing programs that use LLMs both fascinating and frustrating. Nevertheless, I'm going to continue with my work and curiosities, and let the industry change the names of what I'm doing—whether it's called agent development, context engineering, or whatever comes next.

Haunted is good word for it. I have a pile of these too. I made happen over COVID with long time hacker friend. It is called Viddd.co. We were able to help many musicians make a lot of money. We still do it but we have not updated it while. Great threads here

I absolutely love this project. Bravo.

I live in Altadena and I see those homes. They don't seem all that bad. By the way, Altadena has nice mountain cold air at night, accompanied by the sound of owls hooting. The night time views of Downtown LA are awesome. So, Altadena gives you country living, and within a 20-minute drive, you can be in Silver Lake, DTLA, or Los Feliz to check out a band or a dinner.

I was a CPO of the largest Jira marketplace company for Atlassian. It amazing how much ARR you can drive and it is equally scary how it is to run a SaaS business within the walled garden. Atlassian's DNA is not cloud based software and it will take them time to get there. In the meantime there are so many better solutions for dev groups.

The "lean in" people and incentives have made society suffer for profit. Perhaps we can define a better set of incentives that reward companies of people building products.
