Whether a job can be automated will depend on how big the flow chart that documents all its functions is.
If a job has barely any degrees of freedom, everything follows procedure, and the worker has no decision making power it should not be a surprise if this jobs is automated soon.

The future is bright: AI agents now handle creating your resume and automatically applying for jobs on your behalf, and AI agents review your resume and decide whether you move forward or not.

This is your daily reminder that while LLMs can do awesome stuff, they still make mistakes. Can you spot it?
What makes this even more problematic is that the previous 4 time diffs I asked it to compute, it got them right.

This was my first, long, painful, and expensive custom keyboard build 😭 and I documented it aaaalllll for your learning and entertainment. Watch how I built the Aurora Sofle v2 split keyboard and the lessons I learned throughout the process!

From this to this .. it was an intense build 😓 but it needed to happen.
Now all I have to do is to relearn how to type 😭

I have experienced 2 states when writing code:
1. Making things work and good enough
2. Artisanal coding
I wish I could more of #2

Back in 2000's everyone was busy creating content management systems (CMS) think Drupal, Joomla & the likes.
It was fascinating to learn that Django also started as a CMS for a local newspaper in the US before it was open sourced & became the framework with a wide adoption.

The holy grail of observability is to be able to have timeseries charts of some metrics on a dashboard, and from that same view, drill down all the way to the specific event(s) that might be causing the spikes you're seeing (or other anomalies)

Frameworks are great
… fast forward 10 years …
you’ve built a ton of abstractions on top of it, the framework is dead, documentation is old, only a handful of engineers who were available from the start know how to navigate all the built-in magic and it takes 8 months to onboard a new engineer

3 years at GitHub and counting.
The longest I've worked at a company was 2 years and 7 months. At GitHub I broke this and every additional day I spend here is a new record.
The people I have the privilege to work with everyday make this experience both a blessing & pure joy.

I still remember very sharply the moment the chairman of the computer science department told me:
"Our job is not to graduate technicians"
This response came as I was discussing with him the role of the University in preparing students for the job market.
