But who takes the photo of the stolen car?

Hm, use CC daily, never seen this.

About 5x on general tasks.

About infinite on boring tasks I might not do and keep putting off.

I manage monorepos using Projen and CC is quite good with that with just a small skill.

I was in a similar situation a few years back. I wasn’t only focusing on CRUD, but it was a large part of my work too. Mostly working on web-based SaaS projects.

I started learning infra via AWS CDK (TypeScript). And by osmosis learned a lot about cloud native application architecture. Which changed my way of creating web apps entirely and rejuvenated my love for software. Still going strong 5 years later. Now with much stronger focus on platform engineering and not working on features much.

No, I was using top tier models (paid) and even had an extensive eval test suite against multiple models.

And for those who may not know the founder of Dagger is the same guy who founded Docker - Solomon Hykes.

I loved the original promise of Dagger and it’s still 90% great.

But one flaw (IMO) that it can’t export artifacts and import into other steps without breaking the cache.

Eg if you provide monorepo as input, and then on some step narrow your build to one specific dir, then even when files change outside of that dir then caching still is invalidated.

Which makes it extremely verbose and maintenance nightmare to keep multiple narrow inputs and keep all those paths up to date.

Because I tried using LLMs to write a compelling copy for a landing page and it’s just not that great. I tried a lot. A real copywriter will do a lot of research about your ICP and write targeted copy.

I think the article is about “copywriters” who aren’t true copywriters but those who were writing junk articles for SEO.

Once AI can write proper compelling converting copy then I’ll change my mind.

For npm ecosystem I use changesets.

Do you have any recommended reading on the topic of refinements in architectures? Thank you.

I wonder if the author had some more profound message?

Is it about pulverizing software artifacts into token statistics?

What remains is not "code", but code-shaped matter?

It’s not an alternative at all. Terraform CDK is basically TypeScript transpired to HCL. You can codegen TypeScript bindings for any provider. And then write normal TypeScript.

This is so sad. It’s a great project. Needs to be forked and maintained. If anyone forks please email me I’ll contribute.

> The technology is essentially a failure

Really? I derive a ton of value from it. For me it’s a phenomenal advancement and not a failure at all.

I don’t want or need microservices.

I want just services.

Thank you. Seminal work! I’m already thinking how I will change my day and my teams approach to work.

That’s the term used to describe the “new approach” to data. It’s quite loaded so just google it.

The report especially highlights data as being most hit.

Indeed, during pandemic data field sort of matured. Modern data stack emerged. No one knew what they were doing and it was extremely over hired for.

In addition, I highly doubt LLMs have a significant effect on data teams as their main jobs aren’t writing code.

LLMs are still very unreliable at converting language to SQL. I believe the best benchmark was merely at around 70%. Who in their right mind can trust this level of accuracy?

When the Soviet Union fell apart BBC opened a number of journalism schools in Russia. The schools were sponsored by George Soros. My dad attended one of those and then was called into FSB office (former KGB) to be questioned.

My suspicion to this day is that these schools were both a spy front and long-game propaganda, where they were teaching how to make news more western-aligned.

Why would BBC want to teach their methods in Russia? How do they benefit from that? How does Soros benefit from that?

Take a look at promptfoo

So basically rewrite MCP tools with your own scripts.

MCP is just an API with docs.

The problem isn’t MCP itself. It’s that each MCP “server” has to expose every tool and docs which consumes context.

I think the tools should use progressive reveal and only give a short summary like the skill does. Then agent can get full API of the tool on request.

Right now loading GitHub MCP takes something like 50k tokens.

I do really like this step function pattern especially with the new JSONata flavour it’s much more approachable than the original DSL that was so painful to write and debug.

The photos are heavily photoshopped. But the island is still very beautiful.

Is anyone else using conventional comments

The funniest one I’ve seen was in Lisbon. There’s a roundabout that has a light on the inside. Not to enter the roundabout! But once you are inside one, you must stop at some point.

They also acquired Census recently - reverse ETL.

I have a 92 civic it certainly can’t be remotely shut off.

I also have 2008 mazda3. Great reliable car. Also no connectivity whatsoever.

So much that in post Soviet countries it’s common to bring a Geiger counter to buy real estate. Usually the contamination is from natural sources like stone quarry that hasn’t been properly inspected.
