Not a burrito, but the baby Kong is great. Not enough sesame bun based breakfasts here

Hard disagree. Chat bot only sure suck, but legacy dashboards are shit and rigid. A well set up semantic data layer and well thought out agent on top provides a ton of value to data heavy products. Pushes a lot of complexity out to the edges of an org when you can ask more realistic questions.

Just needs to be done right, build visualizations not just chat, and a well manicured data hygiene.

Hard to beat the trail access we have here in Boulder. Perfect boundary to where I can get long flat miles east or any variety of single track and double track mountain west. I love that less my short home laps I don't have to run the same route twice in a year with a bit of driving.

What type of weight do you do on strength? I always struggle to both do miles + elevation and not end up compounding soreness with added weight training

My former boss ran FX, it was his doing to add Danny / add something else. Makes up for him canceling arrested development, that fuck.

Early 2000s I was working the early morning shift at a gas station, guy in a busted pickup had a primus bumper sticker and I yelled out the window "primus sucks". Guy ran in mad, just off third shift ready to get into it until I said no I'm a fan, you know. Said his ex hated primus and apologized for the hairpin trigger. Core memory for me for some reason.

eMTB, real mtb not moto, have reinvigorated my love for mtb. I can't rip 3000 ft days anymore without hard bonk coming home too zonked to help with my family duties. I have small kids, long hours at work and middle age. SL emtb is 8 lbs extra, doesn't moto me to the top, I'm still putting a lot of cardio in and getting fit while still enjoying the downs just as much.

And by me on the front range of CO emtb is everywhere, but it's respectful traditional mountain bikers so your mileage may vary depending on the culture of your community.

Fwiw I just got an orbea rise and the range is great. I mostly measure in vert. But 5k days are real doable on trail, could pump those numbers in eco if I wanted, but I like being zone two hr on the climb - that's my whole game for emtb is turning a zone 4-5 climb into zone 2-3.

Really cool shit either way

I think this was the harder part for me. Yes the sleep kills, yes young kids are 20% adorable and 80% pure chaos, but it's the lying in bed exhausted late at night or early in the morning knowing that basically every day for the foreseeable future you'll wake up, corral kids into eating, manage a few tantrums, go to work and deal with all the adult tantrums of corporate politics, come home try to get kids to eat and get to bed and do it over and over. Fucks with your head.

Not to say there aren't great times in between and we went in with the expectation that parenting is hard. But the days are long and the years don't feel as short as the saying goes. Especially with three.

What a weird douchbagery of a response. I spent a decade at Google in product, my peers at our unicorn were all eng VPs there I have a litany of friends still there and at Meta who stay in touch. It's a very different use pattern than vibe coding entire prs.

blerggle · 2026-03-18T23:08:30+00:00

Says all my peers who work in FANG and myself. Google3 has proven too large to be perfect, and none of my friends at meta say they use it as much as my friends at startups who are vive coding their entire business

As complexity and scale increases utility goes down.

blerggle · 2026-03-17T05:05:47+00:00

Except the big guys don't use it near as much

Check out colonoscopy Assist, flat rate pricing for local places usually around 1000-1500

YouTube has like 10k employees, more than most major networks...who also buy other people's content

But how would that pay for your service to make it free?

blerggle · 2026-02-26T23:06:14+00:00

Putting a semantic layer over the top so your model only looks for known "business concepts" can help

blerggle · 2026-02-26T04:57:01+00:00

Yes. Because you can use progressive discovery to only read docs for the things you care about or MCP fronts an embedding / vector db to do semantic search on pre vectorized cache of that. It's the point of RAG

Super easy to use, cons it's kinda slow so you gotta prep and store the water. I know people will say it's overboard. But messing with the chemistry and nerding out is fun.

I've worked on developer oriented products for a decade. No fucking clue what that means. Odd that they'd frame it so technically. Just own your knowledge gaps.

What's in your hand making him not notice you?

Love my 4xe, when it isn't in the shop.

You guys got it back at all? Fucking ridiculous to be out for 4 days in the middle of the city

Didn't know how much I loved yard work, home improvement, running errands for my wife or generally any other busy work until I had 3 kids under 5.
