you cannot compete with someone who is having fun

You would *hope* that software developer job interviews and software development wouldn't require two distinctly different sets of skills.

I clicked a link and ended up on sourceforge.net - AMA

Why don't we include this on every website? So true.

Need a dev advocate? Look no further, Mark is a rock star

Same even works with curl commands pasted into http files

Martin with a big smile wears a backward red cap, a red hoodie, and a gray T-shirt that says “MUSIC BAND.” He holds a skateboard over his shoulder and stands in a school hallway. The text on the image reads, “HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS?”

branch names often make it obvious how stupid a bug was: bmuskalla/stopAtEnd

how you know you're still a startup? someone just mentioned "long term" and "2 weeks" in the same sentence

Learn Wasm by building a simple compiler in JavaScript. No compiler expertise necessary. All the code is in the book; we'll take you through it step by step. Get your hands dirty and see for yourself what WebAssembly is all about.

Excited to announce the official launch of our online book, WebAssembly from the Ground Up! 🎉

It's the book we wish we'd had 3 years ago.

No messing with tools and frameworks. It's a hands-on guide to the core of Wasm: the instruction set and module format.

Reminder: if you haven’t yet read “The Mythical Man Month,” buy two copies so you can read it faster.

my personal AGI benchmark is implementing atproto oauth from scratch. ultimate evidence of beyond-human-level intelligence

Saving papers or articles to read? Just mark them as stale every morning; last 3 things I pulled from my "to read list" were outdated already. Sigh
Anything interesting you got that I can mark as stale by tomorrow?

New prompt technique: stop being smarty pants. nobody wants code comments for indecipherable code. write readable code instead. thank you.

OH: a Jupyter notebook is just a dressed up REPL

It's funny how people think that AI tools out there can just implement a "model switcher" and be independent of the underlying model behaviour...brace yourselves. SOTA doesn't mean equal

this s1 paper is so refreshing! Love seeing ML breakthroughs that don't need massive compute or complex tricks 🙌
Clean, simple, and it actually works? More of this please!

I don’t care how hacky it feels but I really dig `uv run —with=“dep>1,<2” myscript.py docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/sc...

While I've moved on a while ago, I still regularly rave about JDTs incremental compiler and how nothing ever came close :)

I do miss Java tooling :)

True but that's less of a model problem and more a function of providing the right context

Across various programming languages I work with, LLMs became more reliable in fixing imports properly than language tooling itself 🤔

Mufasa: Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our beautiful, well-maintained code base. Simba: But what's that shadowy place over there? Mufasa: API V1, which still handles 95% of requests.

Tiny TIL: I just figured out how to run pytest with a different Python version against my pyproject.toml/setup.py projects using uv run

uv run --python 3.12 --with '.[test]' pytest

Programming languages: "We are just a way to operate computers in a way that makes sense to humans."

Programming languages [takes a big joint hit]: "What if there were 5 kinds of nothingness?"
