They tell me the brightest and best work at Amazon, and it makes disgusting amounts of money because they deserve to. Is this the best they can do?

Software has always been buggy shit, but when you see stuff like this, you cant help but think this is the result of some mandated vibe coding shite

(cant wait to use my pens on NYE 2199, when I am the ripe age of 216)

Out right now but I’ll check your PR later - thanks!

"Perhaps the real unlock of AI isn't this "10x" thing, it's that engineers finally have time to deeply understand what they're building, and why."

An abstraction having a property of being indeterministic cannot be an abstraction.

If an abstraction is flaky (different from leaky) it pulls you back into the details to understand if it abstracted the thing in the way it should've abstracted.

The first two hours this morning

Watch software developers. I mean *really* watch them.

When they say they spent an hour "writing code", they've actually spent most of that hour *reading* code and *thinking* about it.

Wanna boost your dev productivity?

* Write code that's easier to understand
* Get better at understanding code

obviously not the major driver of his health concerns but it is very funny to read A Christmas Carol as an adult and realize that when tiny tim first says "God bless us, every one!" he's a severely malnourished child and they've given him a cup of hot gin

One of my best work achievements this year was convincing book club to read a book about a struggling manufacturing plant in the 80s

We discovered how the lessons they learned translate to software development.

Everyone in tech should read The Goal

It's Mental Math Monday! What goes on in your head when you're mentally calculating 45% of 40?

Only started just under 2 years ago. Mostly just target archery AGB. Bowmen of Darenteford! Probably a bit far away to have a little competition :)

Congratulations on meeting the weird niche of software developer and archer on Bluesky. I don’t think our community is very big 😂

I’ve tried field but prefer target

Another test

Target archery!

Cutting Middle Management Is Costing Your Capacity for Change Over the last year, the tech industry has seen a wave of layoffs targeting middle management. Executives at companies like Meta, Shopify, and Amazon have framed this as a push toward efficiency.

Katie Leonard (one of our eng managers) recently wrote a 🔥killer🔥 piece on the current obsession with cutting middle management in the name of "efficiency".

"Efficiency is not the same as effectiveness. An org running at 100% capacity is brittle, not agile."
