For anyone who wants more books that dig into the games industry, all of Jason Schreier's books are fantastic.

> doesn't really work with a black box code generator.

Sure it does, just blame the vendor.

Having played both there's a lot of overlap in the social side. You can find games with randoms or join social match plays with little friction. From what I've heard, it's not that easy with other racket sports like tennis.

I agree the skill gap is wider in padel, which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on who you want to play with.

Asking that question just signals that you don't obey social cues.

Most hiring managers won't like this, as they don't want to be responsible for hiring someone volatile like this.

I think the only place you could get away with this is if you're interviewing with a C-Suite member who has nobody to answer to.

Are LLMs actually decent at this sort of data crunching though? I thought at best they could write a script to help.

Yes I don't understand why Claude code needs to be a terminal app.

It doesn't compose with any other command line program and the terminal interface is limiting.

I'm surprised nobody has yet made a coding assistant that runs in the browser or as a standalone app. At this point it doesn't really need to integrate with my text editor or IDE.

I think you’re being a little pedantic here. Even if we assume "senior" is an arbitrary title, the article is still a useful description for how to be effective as an experienced engineer. The title is the least interesting part of it.

The problem is that the alternative is usually only sites created only to chase affiliate revenue. At least on Reddit, there’s a _chance_ I’m reading something from someone genuinely sharing their opinion.

Uh, sure, maybe in a professional setting where you’re getting paid. But this was unpaid volunteer work. If, as a community, we start enforcing professional grade standards on people who are just contributing their free time to give us neat toys and tools, I kinda worry it makes the whole thing the whole thing less fun or sustainable. And if that happens, we probably stop getting these free toys altogether.

> I just think it's ironic that this advice is useless to junior engineers but unneeded by senior engineers.

That's a good way of putting it. The advice essentially boils down to "do the right thing, don't do the wrong thing". Which is good (if common sense) advice, but doesn't practically really help with making decisions.

Looking online I see reports that FTX owes its creditors $3B. If Anthropic has 6.5x then the initial $500 million is now worth $3.25B.

Is it actually possible that all creditors will get their money back? Pretty crazy if so.

NAT and firewall traversal are two other things that Tailscale gives you that you don't easily get with Wireguard alone, FWIW.

Luck Surface Area (https://www.codusoperandi.com/posts/increasing-your-luck-sur...) definitely applies to this, though - it's all about positioning yourself so that you have the opportunity to get lucky.
