This is how I feel about vibe coding. Any project I try that has any kind of complication has this immediate burst of progress. Things are amazing and it feels like a superpower. Then... as I add more complexity, things crash to a halt. The only projects that I think I can…

The older you get, the more you value "boring" things: · Eating similar meals · Taking walks outside · Going to bed on time · Getting a bit of exercise daily You realize you don't need to be constantly entertained to live a good life.

One thing my healed self will never understand is why people insist “pathological obsession w winning/money/doing” == good founder. Startups are businesses, but we treat them like zodiac signs. Guy’s probably not gonna die wishing he raised more seed rounds.

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

So many brilliant people get lost communicating their ideas, because they don't know how to tell a story. Each story follows a map. Show your listener the map first. Get them excited about the trip! Then, on the journey, point out the landmarks. Battles fought! Wins! Losses!…

Workaccount2 on Hacker News just coined the term "context rot" to describe the thing where the quality of an LLM conversation drops as the context fills up with accumulated distractions and dead ends news.ycombinator.com/item?id=443087…

@acrossthemersey This is the thing - actuarial data has no masters. Their accuracy is what they build business on, so it has to be right - and that no one reports on this is pretty unreal.
