One of the approaches I'm taking is to try hard to simplify the code generated by LLMs. If you can reduce its complexity, it usually means you have a fairly good idea of what's going on in the code change. I consider which edge cases are getting unnecessarily handled, which new vocabulary was introduced where existing or simpler vocabulary would be fine, etc. etc.

I also have a /simplification-check skill I run after pretty much every large change, and that already helps surface the murky areas of the code and sometimes remove complexity before I even start reviewing, thus accelerating the review.

Will give it a try! How is LiveKit working for you in terms of achieving low input2video latency? Did it lend itself to getting tuned for this application?

However, not paying does not mean that you necessarily become "the product".

Offering loss-leading products is a common business strategy and I'm perfectly okay taking advantage of this for hosting needs that fit a vendor's free tier.

Static hosting is very cheap to offer and gathering free tier users will gain developer mind-share, which helps the vendor can sell their truly money-making products. To pick a clear-cut example: AWS Lambda does not collect any additional data on free tier usage compared to paid usage.

Email: [firstname] [at] nathanvogel [dot] com

Hands-on engineering leader with 14 years building products, infrastructure, and teams, from indie apps with 10M+ users to a production real-time GenAI platform.

Most recently Director of Engineering at Journee, where I scaled the team to 25 and ran a multi-cloud, multi-geo GPU platform (3,000+ concurrent nodes behind a custom cost-aware autoscaler), a low-level WebRTC backend for interactive 1080p/60fps streaming that beat Unreal's PixelStreaming on latency and bandwidth, and the web apps and APIs on top. I also owned cloud FinOps (six-figure annual savings), enterprise security and GRC for automotive and public-sector clients, and represented the tech org in investor relations.

I'm useful when product goals, infrastructure, and team structure are out of sync: getting a real-time or AI system to hold up in production, cutting cloud spend, tightening developer experience, and helping a team ship without piling on process. I trained as a designer (ECAL) before going deep on engineering, so I care as much about the UI/UX as the GPU autoscaler, and I bridge product, design, and infra without overengineering.

Looking for: fractional or full-time CTO / Head of Engineering, or technical advisory work.

Best fit: startups and scale-ups building AI-powered or real-time products that need one senior person to set technical direction and stay hands-on in the code.

I would love to try it, can I sign up for a Linux desktop app notify-list?

It's most likely two or more separate attackers operating. The first malware, Shai Hulud 2, exfiltrates credentials from the infected dev machine to new public GitHub repositories. As the repositories are public and searchable via GitHub's interfaces, any malicious attacker aware of the attack can easily grab the credentials and launch any attack, whether it's a noisy destructive script or some sophisticated ransomware.

That's my bad, apologies. This job post will be published next week and I somehow removed this mention from my comment while editing it. I've put it back now. In the meantime, feel free to apply through the Platform Engineer role while stating your targeted role and I will re-categorize your application later. Thank you!

This is (in part) what "world models" are about. While some companies like Tesla bring together a fleet of small specialised models, others like CommaAI and Wayve train generalist models.

What issues did you encounter with WorkOS? I'm currently evaluating it and would love to avoid repeating knowable mistakes.

It does, shockingly well in my experience. Check out this blog post outlining such an approach, called Literate Development by the author: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43524673

Whenever an LLM struggles with a particular library version, I use Cursor Rules to auto-include migration information and that generally worked well enough in my cases.

This reminds me of this quote I love:

> "[They] placed too much weight on the introspections that they generated at that moment in time, and thus lost sight of their more enduring attitudes.” [1]

The quote refers to this study [2] in which subjects had to chose a poster to take home. The group who was instructed to think about their reasons for their initial choice, and had the option to change it, were less satisfied with it three weeks later. As the abstract says:

> When people think about reasons, they appear to focus on attributes of the stimulus that are easy to verbalize and seem like plausible reasons but may not be important causes of their initial evaluations.

This suggests that satisfaction is more correlated with initial gut feeling than reasoning, at least for aesthetic choices, but I think in many other cases as well.

I'm not sure how relevant that threat model is (OS level security would probably be enabled for people susceptible to be targeted in such a way. Support could advise to do it before toggling the flag, etc.), but anyway the hypothetical flag would only be about making sure the automation doesn't happen and the ticket goes to support. Support can then manually handle the rare edge case and place more burden on the person attempting to deactivate the account.
