I applaud Kimi and the open weight models - for the simple reason that they provide a price ceiling for AI.

I've found minimax to be quite good

I'm an experienced individual contributor who's done a lot of work building and scaling distributed backend systems in a bunch of different industries. I've worked for both startups and large enterprises.

I was screwing around with gemini-cli and vibe-coded (or vibe-engineered?) a git extension to turn commit history into a pandas dataframe.

Curious if anyone would find this useful: https://github.com/rbagchi/git-dataframe-tools

Sharpe ratio is just the start: it gives you a metric on your portfolio. If it gave an interpretation of what that means, or give guidance on how certain actions would adjust the Sharpe, that might add a lot more value.

If AI is roughly where IT is in the 60's, we might see actually decreased productivity for a while until people (yes people) figure out how to use it effectively.

I love SICP, but in industrial software I'd point to "The Mythical Man Month".

There's a couple uses cases (beyond the obvious) that I like with the chatbots

1. Brainstorming building something. Tell it what you're working on, add a paragraph or two of how you might build it, and ask it to give you pros and cons and ways to improve. Especially if it's mostly a well-trod design it can be helpful.

2. Treating it like a coach - tell it what you've done and need to get done, include any feedback you've had, and ask it for suggestions. This particularly helps when you're some kind of neurospicy and "regular human" responses sort of escape you.

Fundamentally a dev owns the code they write - it doesn't matter if it's copy/pasted from search results or filled in via an LLM.

I'm on a 6 year old XS. When I upgrade, I get 5G and USB-C, and a chip that's now ahead of the OS.

I had a GSD who remembered everyone who threw a tennis ball for her. To the point that I had to warn people that if they tossed it once, she'd be dropping a tennis ball in their laps for the foreseeable future.

I miss that girl.

There needs to be a pattern for including AI-generated code, recording all the context which led to the generation.

EVs are the clear choice if you've got an ICE car as a backup.

I mostly do commuting, grocery runs, etc. EVs are great for that. But then I do road trips about once a year, and an EV just adds to the complexity of planning currently.

I'm sort of dreading the next year or so at big corps, in which engineers will hear from their management: "We've made a big investment in AI, and need you to make this work".

I had an A1000 - even worked in high school at a Commodore/Amiga dealer.

What they really didn't understand is that software sells hardware: The OS was so far ahead, but in terms of basic productivity software? Even the Mac was ahead.

And [IMO] markets can maintain a leader and one strong competitor. But just one. So it became PC/Mac throughout the 90's on the desktop.

I played with SGI machines in college and they felt like.. the future. I really hoped they would hire me when I graduated.

Incredible, though, how the relatively cheaper Windows NT machines and 3dfx cards and graphics software just killed them. I was a little sad when I wandered around the campus of an employer in Mountain View and noticed the fading sign that had what was left of the SGI logo.

Mostly a backend developer, but I've done full stack before and I'm open to doing more of that. I also have a strong interest in AI and LLM (like everyone else here)
