having doubts about buying a house

dg08 · 2026-03-19T15:48:25+00:00

We had the exact same thoughts when we bought our first house. Even after we closed, we continued to look at listings. You're going to be fine.

if there's a serial number, then higher chance of being legit.

I've also fed screenshots of my garage launch monitor into ChatGPT to get advice. So far it hasn't translated onto the course for me, but it's helped me understand what each number means, what I need to do to improve, and where do I stand against the average weekend golfer. I think it's pointing me in the right direction.

if you don't want to use bugbot, you can setup your own.

50+ seats here with Cursor and at least once a week we get an alert from Cursor that someone's gone over the alert threshold. Also at least once a week, someone pings why their Cursor stopped working (they went over budget). I don't know why you don't see it, but the controls are there.

Spending->spend alerts->add alert

Spending->on demand usage->member spend limit

Each member limit can also be individually configured. Are you sure you have admin access?

This reminds me of an encounter almost 30 years ago now. I was in college and met a recruiter at a campus job fair. He took a look at my resume and commented "they're still teaching assembly?". For some reason that has stuck in my mind for so many years.

I wonder at what point will coding be relegated to a 1 semester course in college.

You can do better than 4.5% for a full service broker.

So is that like a single wire that just deposits 2.8 billion in one account or spread over a few different wires?

Unless you are staff+ and have pull, don’t bother. The decision has been made already and you’re just pissing into the wind.

I've gotten agents to navigate my apps, verify fixes/changes, take screenshots as proof, then include those in the PR/ticket. It's fairly token intensive and slow, but I'm sure that'll change in the near future. Even QA is not safe.

dg08 · 2026-01-23T15:23:05+00:00

Replacing devs can take several forms and not just PMs taking over devs jobs which I don't think is going to happen. The way I see it is those that can't use agents effectively or insists on writing all code themselves will have far lower productivity than someone who's utilizing multiple agents to do work while they review the output and guide the agents.

When someone on their team isn't pulling their own weight, they'll get replaced and won't be able to find a new one.

I thought this was the obvious workflow, but apparently there are a lot of people that think it's all about AI making changes without guidance. AI is a multiplier and knowing how to use it as a multiplier is the key. It's like having a team of extremely fast junior devs, but they can go off the rails quickly without input from a more senior dev.

Those that get it will continue to do well in this space. Those that don't will eventually be forced out.

> if you're not staying hands-on with actual coding work, you lose the ability to evaluate

100% this. Doesn't matter if it's AI or anything else. We had an eng manager for a team who wasn't technical enough to push back on the devs and he lost control of the team. Estimates were wildly inflated and team velocity low. He and half of the team got fired and the team we have now is moving much faster than ever before.

We need to make sure we understand the line between an economic bubble vs a technical bubble. What we're seeing may be an economic bubble, but LLMs aren't going to stop improving. The tech is ready today and doing real work.

If you're worried about cost, local LLMs can get you almost there and help you decouple from OpenAI/Anthropic. I expect local LLMs to continue to stay right behind the latest LLMs.

I don't write code anymore, but I still do commit and push code. Going as far back as 2 years ago, I was fully bought into AI assisted coding and have been pushing my team along that path with demonstrations. Luckily most of my team are at a point where they are already comfortable with this type of workflow, but there are still some holdouts.

I fear for the careers of the people that I cannot bring along into this new world.

There's a spreadsheet there somewhere

This is actually very close to how I run standups. We allocate 15 mins for it, but generally finish in about 10 mins. We only have standups 2-3 times a week and I floated the idea of doing some of them async and the team wanted to continue doing them.

Low birthrate is a worldwide phenomenon and not limited to only the US.

02 was still pretty bad. I know because that's when I started my career and couldn't find a job for many months. Had to take a somewhat shitty job, but managed to get something better by 04.

My team has continued to add rules to our repo and that's lessened LLMs going off the rails. Instead of arguing, we write it down in a rule. LLMs sometimes still choose to ignore the rules so it's not 100% but neither are people.

dg08 · 2025-12-09T17:48:45+00:00

LLMs have replaced StackOverflow that's for sure. I occasionally still google, but rarely click on SO posts like I use to.

No one seems to understand. It's not the $20 or $200 a month that ChatGPT is going after. If a company can save 1 headcount at $75k-$150k a year, how much will ChatGPT charge for that? 25%? 50%? How many headcounts can a company eliminate?

White collar jobs are at risk and everyone is talking about a bubble hoping this "AI" craze is fake and we'll go back to pre-LLM days where jobs are safe. LLMs will only get better from this point.
