I love love knuths unabashed enthusiasm for something really cool
"All in all, however, this was definitely an impressive success story. I think Claude Shannon’s spirit is probably proud to know that his name is now being associated with such advances. Hats off to Claude!"

I still believe code review is necessary for many reasons, but I don't think I'll be putting code in front of a human without running it through an LLM ever again.
It would be inconsiderate to the reviewer not too.
This is the first time I've wanted AR glasses

> issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding former executive teams. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"
There are former executive teams I would like to apologize to. In retrospect, your analogies were actually pretty decent.
I'm increasingly certain that unhinged analogies are just a side effect of being CEO.
Please don't make me buy jjub 😅
This is A+ naming skills.
yeah who's building this??!?!?!?
$ jj describe -m "Hello, world!"
On the bright side, Gateways are a nice improvement.
We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason
My fear has been them fucking up everyone's perception of stacked diffs
I showed Gas Town to my business partner Rich and he said “oh it's SOAP/WSDL for agents” and I am still processing that.
I still believe you shouldn't attack the creator of the list personally. But I no longer believe it is in good faith, given the large gap between stated goals and revealed behavior
These roles are in Rust and/or Typescript
The #tokioconf speakers and talks just got posted: www.tokioconf.com Ticket sales are open! Since it is our first conference, it is hard to estimate how many people will come. We're starting conservative, only 200 tickets right now.
More official job posts to follow soon
We're actively looking to grow our team at @ersc.io again! If you are interested or know someone who might be, I'd love to chat.
We are looking for distributed storage folk as well as frontend/UX.
The only global prompt I have is "be terse and challenge me when appropriate".
I'm speaking at TokioConf 2026 about "Futurelock and You"
For Rust people interested in async code at TokioConf, I'll see y'all in April!
Increasingly a fan of "electric bike" as a LLM analogy, it's a powerful force multiplier.
I'm also suspicious of people who only ride electric bikes.
Pluribus ending🤌
You pushed me over the edge, I've got a sample coming now 😅
This just sounds like xenophobia. What's changed recently to increase the risk of offshoring?
> in fact, volunteering that an LLM has been used to generate work product is to implicitly distance oneself from the responsibility for the content — and serves as to erode the trust that is essential for teamwork.
The whole RFD is great, but I particularly related with this line.
At the risk of starting the flame war to end all flame wars...
Modern LLMs (GPT-5.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) produce excellent code and can be a significant productivity boost to software engineers who take the time to learn how to effectively apply them - especially if used with coding agent tools
"poast-Communist". Tiny typo!
