Anyone see how Opus did? lol

Also, eerily accurate timeline!

Correction: facts are facts.

How a person perceives facts categorizes them into a political bias bucket.

Congrats!

> Group projects were also a common complaint. You were randomly assigned a group, but it was often unclear if the participants were even doing the course - many people were in completely ghost groups.

I see that nothing has changed in 20 years. Even when attended the courses physically in person, group project usually had 1 or 2 people doing all the work and the rest nowhere to be found, or just hanging out. :p

Totally agree, misleading.

The syntax looks like rust, but esp w/the memory management model (reference counting), it’s going to have more overhead than rust when it’s running, more like Swift or at worse, Python.

Oh we’ve been ready and it’s been known. We’re just too stupid to do anything else.

> waiting for an animation to complete before the app will start acknowledging my keystrokes.

Or you find out you can input as the animation happens, but when the animation finishes, you’ve lost where your input ended up and don’t know if you can backspace/delete and retype.

(Yes, I’m expressing multiple issues here w/ui & animation & input)

Meta: so many words to say - save local first & sync in background.

Feels like AI slop.

Doesn’t address the concurrent update problem except for “optimistic”. At least provide some data why that’s ok.

How does one choose what sequence of bytes constitutes a token?

And you know what the tokenizer is made of?

Weights.

Test Driven Development. There's more than several /tdd skills that are popular.

Really? Putting quotes around strings is called escaping now?

    One workaround is to escape the string, like this:
    
    countries:
      - DE
      - FR
      - "NO"
      - PL
      - RO

Comon, it’s 2026, yeah yaml’s design can lead to odd type casts, but a whole essay on this? Keep it under 140 chars pls.

Just reporting what I’ve experienced. No need to go with the ad hominem attack. I happen to lead a team with a major Rust infra project and I stand by the experience with usage across all the LLM models.

1. Amount of Rust training data isn’t as much as Go.

2. Golang syntax and style is very verbose yet simple. There’s not as many options nor programming language to domain mapping needed as in Rust. Leads to needing less sophisticated LLM to spit out Golang than Rust successfully and efficiently.

As a Costco member and customer, I’d actually trust the leadership more than most companies. Use the tariff money and keep that $1.50 hotdog ~ enough avg Americans can use that break for lunch, even if not the healthiest.

Not purely an advertisement, it’s a real app! https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/updog-ai/

But it does help with marketing and showing off our tech.

I don’t feel that old, but I guess being 45 is ancient in tech.

The Silicon Valley tech jobs we have now has a history rooted in World War 2 and funding of it by the US gov.

I’m not saying war is good or anything, but also don't ride a high horse cause none of it would be here w/o WW2.

I’d argue it’s come full circle and it hasn’t changed a bit.

There wouldn’t be a Silicon Valley without World War 2 and US gov. funding of Stanford to develop radar basically.

The initial investment from then gave critical capital mass for Stanford, the VCs, and the tech companies of today.
