> Help people when they explicitly ask for help. When someone asks, the cause and effect reverse. You’re no longer imposing your judgment on someone who never wanted it.

Maybe this is why pull request reviews can become contentious. The reviewer thinks the author is open for feedback while in fact it’s just the widely accepted practice and team/company enfored that you are supposed to give feedback.

I don’t understand this take. In my company a lot of the Claude Coders seem to be very uninterested or unaware of the code they are producing, while I in Cursor usually click ”Keep”/”Undo” on specific code blocks (with little edits) or sometimes the whole file at once if it’s a low risk part of the codebase. I fail to see how this workflow produces inferior code vs shooting in the blind and maybe skimming a huge diff in one go.

This validates my prediction that GenAI will be the Comic Sans of the late 2020s.

I've found most hackathons not personally fulfilling because you can only get small stuff done and finalize maybe a happy path or two, accompanied by some rushed slides, before you run out of time. The AI really changes this and you can actually deeply exhaust an idea.

Just spotted this from Hank's channel [1] on YouTube. I love that I can look at all the crew photos while also knowing where in the flight path these were taken, this is great!

Isn’t that also a valuable life lesson that some topics/resources are scarce and at some point you need to do something else?

I personally prefer to view it in the same orientation the photographer saw it in their viewfinder. Makes me feel more like I’m inside the vessle looking at the planet.

Path back to what? Time before the US started bullying its allies and destroying Nato? This seems all self-inflicted.

You do realize Denmark/Greenland is (well, at least used to be before this circus act) your ally?

You could and yet nobody did.

You need to give credit to a project like Astro that takes a pattern, popularizes it and makes it straightforward to adopt via a framework.

I'd bet it can be quite a sticky product, if you moved to it from VS Code and don't want to switch around all the time – especially if the enterprise license been approved in your company ().

The fact that people don’t realize this is satire is the most scariest part.

I wonder how good it would be to convert sheet music to MusicXML. All the current tools more or less suck with this task, or maybe I’m just ignorant and don’t know what lego bricks to put together.

Unless we are talking about very long numbers, surely the numbers are easier for people to deal with, say over the phone, etc?

If the original numeric ID can be figured out from the sqid string, then what’s the point of the conversion?

Encoding the UUID in e.g. base 64 or Crockford’s base 32 (instead of the standard hex+dashes) saves you some space.
