I guess that’s one way to reduce the deficit! 😭

Today is spring in the Northern hemisphere and autumn in the Southern one, which means it is the day of the March equinox.
The equinox is an exact moment as it is define as an exact astronomical configuration.

And this time is computed and available from Astronoby!
Let’s see how it goes 🧡

If someone tells you that coding with LLMs is easy they are (probably unintentionally) misleading you. They may well have stumbled on to patterns that work, but those patterns do not come naturally to everyone.

I’ve been getting great results out of LLMs for code for over two years now. Here’s my attempt at transferring some of that experience and intution to you.

Set reasonable expectations
Account for training cut-off dates
Context is king
Ask them for options
Tell them exactly what to do
You have to test what it writes!
Remember it’s a conversation
Use tools that can run the code for you
Vibe-coding is a great way to learn
A detailed example
Be ready for the human to take over
The biggest advantage is speed of development
LLMs amplify existing expertise
Bonus: answering questions about codebases

I'm so excited to share the tool I've been working on for the past month!

Do you know how much it would cost to host YOUR app across Heroku, Render, Fly, and Railway? Now you can compare costs side-by-side.

All great topics but maybe most interested to hear about db protocols and open source!

I’m still unemployed and looking for a new full time position doing Ruby, Rails, TypeScript, CSS.

If you know people who are hiring, I’d really appreciate an introduction. πŸ™

That’s how I’m using chatbots as I get started in iOS development, for example. Normally I’d have to get a job at an iOS shop, but I can make do with a bit of actual senior human help here and there, but generally get a long way with chatbots helping kickstart things.

I dunno, but I have a possibly more optimistic outlook where I think newcomers/juniors will use chatbots as pseudo-seniors who can help them think through tasks/projects and propose possible solutions with code examples etc. So, the chatbots will do the training seniors aren’t, in effect
