Serious question, tell me what you think of using IQ tests to hire SWEs? Should we just do that instead?

Imagine the cognitive dissonance at play there, doing some DS work, realizing your product actively makes people depressed...all while driving back to your 5M+ home in a Tesla listening to podcasts about sunning your ballsack

The archetype of the "jerk engineer" is over, because it turns out coding isn't all that valuable anymore. We now need "engineers" who understand much more than coding.

it seemed HN was moving the right direction when we added the "no AI comments", and yet, every single post about a new model is from you and your pelican. it's tired. please stop, it adds no value and has become cliche.

I think mandates are irrelevant. Unless you work at a monopoly or cutting edge domain, I don’t see how anything other than a “software factory” wins.

Does anyone have any solid patterns they can share around the “scenarios”/holdouts concept from the Dark Factory, where you create external system(s) to verify your main one?

I largely agree with you. And, given your points about “not going back” — how do you propose interviewing SWEs?

For a longer and more biting critique of SF one should read

Private Citizens (2016) by Tony Tulathimutte

“ Capturing the anxious, self-aware mood of young college grads in the aughts, Private Citizens embraces the contradictions of our new century: call it a loving satire.”

  About: I'm a hands-on engineering leader who builds teams that ship products and drive revenue. At Quizlet, I led a 30-person org across Ads and Growth, scaling advertising revenue from $20M to $50M+. Before that, I was CTO at Slader, where I grew the engineering team from 3 to 14 and led the company through its acquisition by Quizlet. I'm happy to be hands-on as much as needed.

How do people evaluate creative writing and emotional intelligence in LLMs? Most benchmarks seem to focus on reasoning or correctness, which feels orthogonal. I’ve been playing with Kimmy K 2.5 and it feels much stronger on voice and emotional grounding, but I don’t know how to measure that beyond human judgment.

Can the same thing be said for using docker compose etc on a VPS to host a web app? Ie you can get the ergonomic / ease of using Fly, Renderer?

Historically, managed platforms like Fly.io, Render, and DigitalOcean App Platform existed to solve three pain points: 1. Fear of misconfiguring Linux 2. Fear of Docker / Compose complexity 3. Fear of “what if it breaks at 2am?”

CLI agents (Claude Code, etc.) dramatically reduce (1) and (2), and partially reduce (3).

So the tradeoff has changed from:

“Pay $50–150/month to avoid yak-shaving” → “Pay $5–12/month and let an agent do the yak-shaving”
