I view LLMs similarly to Tony Stark’s J.A.R.V.I.S. Tony Stark’s expertise was irreplaceable. J.A.R.V.I.S. couldn’t replace Tony, but it certainly made him a hell of a lot more productive.
That said, if someone with an advanced degree is unwilling to use an LLM in a situation where it’d be beneficial I’d certainly encourage them to reconsider.
I can’t speak for other professions, but in software engineering expertise is key for effective use of LLMs. LLMs have certainly increased my productivity, but they’ve also produced some very bad responses to relatively straightforward topics that required my expertise to guild it back on track.

Taking a break from your social apps seems like a really healthy thing to do.
Hacker News even has a setting ("noprocrast") that lets you block yourself from using the site too much.
The legacy apps don't have this functionality because of their incentives (ads) but Bluesky apps could do it.
It’s an open, decentralized social media platform that focuses photo-sharing. Similar to Bluesky in some ways, but it uses a different protocol—the same protocol that Mastodon uses. It embraces user privacy and user data ownership. And I believe it avoids the use of closed, obtuse algorithms.

Naaah. 😂 (I didn’t realize there was so much hate for Kit Kat. 😂)
This one’s easy. By Reese’s 👋🏼

My favorite superhero. 🔥🔥
(And they actually managed to make the John Williams theme work.)
Detroit style is really good. (Although many people argue that Detroit and Chicago styles aren’t pizza but casserole. 😂) You can’t go wrong with any of them.
Based on these pictures, give me that Detroit style.
I prefer Chicago style first and Detroit second. But if I had to base my decision solely on these pictures, I’m picking Detroit style.
In general:
1. Chicago
2. Detroit
3. New York
I can eat thin crust, but definitely not my preferred style.
There are a lot of software engineers who want to be paid like a senior software engineer without the responsibility of a senior software engineer.
Senior software engineers are not paid to simply do what they are directed to do. They're paid to take it a step further—to assess and provide feedback on what they're directed to do. They're paid to be proactive in identifying challenges and helping to conceive solutions to those challenges.
Happy Friday Bluesky.
I had no idea that Common dropped a new album this year, produced by Pete Rock. Yeah, Pete Rock still got it. 🔥🔥🔥
(I know what music I’ll be listening to while coding today. 🧑🏽💻)

Today, I was reminded once again that the biggest challenges organizations face are people problems, not technical problems.

I’m sooooo behind on this series. Time to pick it back up.

I stopped drinking sodas several days ago, and these daily headaches are annoying . . .
Happy Monday Bluesky. It’s a rainy morning here in the DMV.
