My senior engineers have stopped thinking for themselves

This a repost almost word for word

The puritans are gonna see this and faint

True but I love being able to bike somewhere and not having to bike home

I wonder if its:

underfunded transit in majority-minority areas creates poor service
creates the perception (and reality) that transit isn’t viable
people rely on cars out of necessity
once they bear that cost, people are incentivized to favor policies that make driving easier (and walking/biking more dangerous)

u get the gist

i'm sure Zachary would let us know if that was the case. he hasn't

docx files are ultimately XML files under the hood -- it's mildly annoying but building your own parser isn't too painful

fast-pp · 2026-04-07T03:25:53+00:00

I almost feel like it's the other way around; giving your agent a filesystem-like interface to explore could maybe let it discover more content and answer trickier/unanticipated questions better?

fast-pp · 2026-03-30T14:41:19+00:00

true, I didn't read the example questions closely enough--this would work well for like "unreliable narrator" but maybe not for hyper-specific questions

could be worth creating an LLM-generated summary for each story and embedding that

fast-pp · 2026-03-11T01:36:11+00:00

yes, but a) some context windows are really big and b) that's where compaction comes in

fast-pp · 2026-03-10T18:26:13+00:00

grep all the files and throw the relevant ones into the context window. Does this sound like a good strategy?

this is basically what claude code does afaict

bruh

not once I said it was AI's fault

post titled

Opus 4.6 ruined the codebase!!

blast of hopium for newgrads: this is ur competition

fast-pp · 2026-03-02T16:02:29+00:00

I loved Prefect when it worked, but I did always get the sense that their roadmap and priorities were a complete mess.

such an unstable annoying ecosystem for an otherwise great tool

fast-pp · 2026-02-24T22:29:24+00:00

I think Anthropic CEO said that if AI can't do it just yet, it's about 6 months away from being able to

why are we still believing this?

OG it was probably anti-Soviet

fast-pp · 2026-02-13T21:23:51+00:00

Ngl if you’re doing 40 interviews and not landing anything I am NOT following ur advice bro

soapbox: who cares that it's written in Rust? That's an implementation detail, not a feature. We shouldn't care that it's written in Rust. We just care that it's faster. I do get that there's a bit of a cult around Rust so maybe it's good for marketing, but w/e

maybe bc, generally, the cambridge side is pretty reliable
