So many good quotes:

"If hallucination matters to you, your programming language has let you down."

"Does an intern cost $20/month? Because that’s what Cursor costs."

"'But it’s bad at rust' It’s hard to get a good toolchain for Brainfuck, too."

LLMs are good at Go and bad at Rust says a LOT.

There are two wolves inside of you. If the first acquires lock A and the second acquires lock B, and then the first attempts to acquire lock B while the first attempts to acquire lock A, they will deadlock. Teach your wolves concurrency.

i love libraries
Delighted to see this show up so many times in my feed today. I love the Halifax Public Libraries! My friend takes little sewing projects to the Central Library, and I love being in the space itself
Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.
