I am super bullish on claude code / codex cli + LSP and other deterministic codemod and code intelligence tools.
I was playing around with codex this weekend and honestly having a great time (my opinion of it has 180'd since gpt-5.2(-codex) came out) but I was getting annoyed at it because it kept missing references when I asked it to rename or move symbols. So I built a skill that teaches it to use rope for mechanical python codebase refactors: https://github.com/brian-yu/python-rope-refactor
Brian on the OpenAI API team here. I would love to help you get to the bottom of the structured outputs issues you're seeing. Mind sending me some more details about your schema / prompt or any request IDs you might have to by[at]openai.com?
If you liked this blog post, I can’t recommend PyMOTW[0] highly enough. It’s my goto for a concise introduction whenever I need to pick up a new Python stdlib module.
What an amazing achievement. I was curious, so I looked up the open software roles at LLNL[0]. I'm very curious how the salary compares to your average bay area tech salary.
> the 20-pound heart seems to be in good shape for its age. Still, there’s something about it—its pale color and gigantic proportions—that make it seem unreal. According to Da Silva, this dilation was probably caused by tuberculosis, which can cause the swelling of some organs.
Apparently a normal human heart weights 10 ounces[0]. That means Dom Pedro's heart is 32x the weight of a normal heart! Can all that extra weight truly be caused by tuberculosis alone?
It's true that upvote count and comment counts are the best way we have to quantify the quality of a submission. That's why I still browse the top posts page and will still upvote a post that I think is high quality.
But for me, upvote and comment counts bias my perception of a post. I'm choosing to hide these counts so I can read articles uninfluenced by the number of points they have relative to other posts on the front page.
For me, the problem was more that the highly upvoted posts were obviously good, so my time and attention were spent scrolling through HN looking for posts with more than ~50 upvotes or more than 10 comments.
After hiding upvote and comment counts, I've found myself reading more of those high-quality niche articles that I wouldn't have clicked on previously. I've also found myself reading post titles more thoroughly and reading articles first instead of immediately jumping into the comment section to get summary/judgement.
Perhaps this extension is unnecessary if you have more self control that I do ;).
lobste.rs is a site similar to HN where users must be invited by another user and the public tree of invites is kept as a sort of reputation map. Might be similar to what you’re envisioning.
Another data point: I was an intern at Google last year and they gave most of the interns Pixelbooks. It worked fine for development (granted, development consisted of SSHing into a dev box and using a web-based IDE).
This story is in the same vein as that of the CloudFlare cofounder[1] who suffers from a rare neurodegenerative disease and has had his life pretty much taken from him at far too young an age.
This quote in particular gnaws at me: "We had promised each other that in a few years, when the girls headed off to college, we’d work less and travel more. Amy didn’t deserve to lose those dreams, or her companion, just as we were on the brink." I, presumably like many others here, have spent a lot of time on my career, perhaps to the detriment of other aspects of my life. Is it worth it? That seems like an impossible question to answer.

Been pretty happy with it so far!
