mildweed commented on Where's the shovelware? Why AI coding claims don't add up   mikelovesrobots.substack.... · Posted by u/dbalatero

The answer is that we're making it right now. AI didn't speed me up at all until agents got good enough, which was April/May of this year.

Just today I built a shovelware CLI that exports iMessage archives into a standalone website export. Would have taken me weeks. I'll probably have it out as a homebrew formula in a day or two.

I'm working on an iOS app as well that's MUCH further along than it would be if I hand-rolled it, but I'm intentionally taking my time with it.

Anyway, the post's data mostly ends in March/April which is when generative AI started being useful for coding at all (and I've had Copilot enabled since Nov 2022)

Interested in this Homebrew. Share when ready?

All the small/medium branding agencies surviving on Wordpress should devote 10% of their devs’ time to core.

Community: rebuilt.

Code.org | Director of Engineering | Full-time | Seattle WA | Remote | code.org

Code.org is a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to computer science in K-12 schools and increasing participation by young women and students from other underrepresented groups. Apply here: https://boards.greenhouse.io/codeorg/jobs/4423776005

I am personally hoping we find a leader who values:

- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

- Working software over documenting everything

- Collaborating day-to-day with product/curriculum over building quarterly spreadsheets with them

- Responding to change over following a plan

I was hoping that some large set of keywords generated spider images.

Dear Jane,

Can I have my drawing of a spider back then please?

The OTG managed hospitality experience at LGA is the worst crime against aviation in the last 21-and-a-half years. Try their $20 burger. I dare you.

JFK at least has ShakeShack.

LGA has ShakeShack now too
mildweed commented on Hard truths I learned when I got laid off from my SWE job   stevenbuccini.com/8-hard-... · Posted by u/sbuccini

> Hard Truth #1: Getting laid off is a profoundly lonely experience.

When I was laid off, it was very comforting to rebuild community with others who were laid off at the same time.

We started a Slack instance where we:

* shared resources with each other

* complained and vented and healed together

* celebrated each other's new jobs

* continued the network for years after
