CC got my dev env set up and running in 20 min. It had to fix my local node setup and a ton of other dependencies. A junior dev cannot do that in 20 days (unless they just asked CC to do it)
Agents can write good code. If you don't like the way that they write code, tell them to write it differently. Do that until you think the code is good.
This is goddamn terrible advice. You’re rolling a dice to see if the great work ends up making it.
Have we not learned the lesson of bell labs? 90% of the time the great work doesn’t make it by itself. It takes leadership to carve a path for it to emerge and actually flourish.
I swear, there are like two influential things on the internet that have completely wrecked the practice of engineering management:
Presumably, the percentage of taxation is a function of the price of the item? You can have a different curve or base rate for different harmonization codes.
When I was in my early 20s I used to think I was very clever for pointing out apparent hypocrisies. Now I realize how easily that devolves into “you are imperfect therefore you may never criticize anything”

I hate this analogy. NBA players can all hit 90% of their free throws shooting overhand too. Just some of them are much worse at handling the pressure and pace change of the situation in a game context.
there's this things that happens where blog boys love to say Big Important Stuff (that isn't true) and in the 1% chance that it becomes true they point back on it and say "I am a goddamned genius" and if it hits the 99% no one remembers their bullshit.
Make lots of predictions and write down your thought process (seriously write them down!) once the result is in, analyze whether you were right. Were you right for the right reasons? Were you wrong but had the right thought process mostly?
