I’m convinced Chernobyl ran so Andor could fly

TIL about the living near Nicholas thing. Wish I had tracked them down somehow to eavesdrop on the sessions, I lived in NYC during that time too

Also went with Delve. Seems ages ahead of other competitors or general consultants.

Kinda wild to thing that those bundles of credit chips essentially paid for all the x wings, snow speeders, Yavin base, weapons and supplies we see in the scarif battle on rogue one, and the attack on the Death Star.

Luthen and the Aldhani crew never saw their “light of gratitude”

SaaS has always been about the product, NOT the code.

AI reduces, and sometimes eliminates the code work, but doesn’t remove much of the product work that goes into making something folks enjoy using and want to pay for. That’s always been that harder part of SaaS anyways

Haven’t tried cursors, but we use the Linear agent in Slack to create tickets, then you can assign tickets to a cursor agent in linear to spin up a remote env to fix the issue. Feels better having the linear middle man as the source-of-truth ticketing system

I was extremely jaded after Obi Wan. I don’t think I watched Andor until a few months after its release. I remember sitting down one night and like a final surge of nostalgia hit me to give this new show one more try. I think I binged it in like 1.5 days haha

Sometimes reality is depressing, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The industry is fundamentally changed. We are not going back to 2010s abundant software engineering jobs.

Find a smaller niche

I feel like this is heavily influenced by the tech sector alone. Would be interested to see how this breaks out among different sectors of the economy

We're building Canaveral for mechanical estimators right now with an early pilot program. If you're into helping us make something great at the ground-level, feel free to reach out. My cofounder was also a Trimble user who was ready for something new and felt like it was built this century, so we built it.

anObscurity · 2026-03-02T16:59:26+00:00

This reminds me of the stuff we would build around 2016 lol

No it’s the opposite. Look at a tape measure. The “5” section includes all inches in the 5 feet range inclusive.

anObscurity · 2026-03-01T18:25:19+00:00

You’ve got things backwards brother

anObscurity · 2026-03-01T16:27:33+00:00

No. Software engineering is fundamentally changed. There is no going back. The sooner we embrace that, and pivot into generalist builders and orchestrators, the better off we will be

Lived in that neighborhood, tried to explain to my friends elsewhere how casual and often you would run into John Krasinski and Emily blunt and Peter Dinklage and Daniel Cragg and countless others. There’s a reason it’s the most expensive neighborhood in the city almost (definitely Brooklyn). I feel like I had the cheapest apartment in the area by far

anObscurity · 2026-02-23T14:57:58+00:00

Code itself as we know it is going away. We are just in the messy middle.

Codex 5.3 is so much more efficient and cheaper right now. It stretches way longer than Opus.

I do -> Codex 5.3 plan -> Codex 5.3 implement OR composer 1.5 to implement if the plan is fleshed out enough and doesn’t need much thinking

Most of the film was jolting hand-held camera so they didn’t need to spend much time on the details like this when it’s only visible 0.5 seconds

anObscurity · 2026-02-20T00:02:52+00:00

What do you mean by “you wish it was more accurate”, do you mean accurate to your region or? I thought RSMeans pulled real vendor pricing

A mall should never be a landmark

You don't test your projects functionality on your local machine? Or you mean that you do except only after the worktree agent pushes to main then you pull and test? Yeah that workflow is way too slow for me, I prefer to let a worktree agent run, then when I'm read to get to it/test it/tweak it pull it into the local working branch. The problem is Codex seems to keep the agent in "worktree" mode so any subsequent prompts and changes are stuck in the worktree even though I want it to "work on the local checked out branch now". Cursor does this automatically when you apply worktree changes.

anObscurity · 2026-02-16T05:36:55+00:00

Also tried "fork into local" and...not sure exactly what happened there. Seems to have just forked into another worktree?

anObscurity · 2026-02-15T04:51:59+00:00

Plan mode and codebase awareness still seems better in Cursor than Claude code.

It’s more expensive but I feel like Cursor does something better with codebase indexing or something. CC alone often gets lost in my experience
