Did anybody else notice that ever since AI started taking over, (some) people have become better at describing exactly what they want?

Suddenly everybody using AI can experiance first hand the pain of poor specification and this actually helps us being better at communicating in general?

Technical interviews really shouldn't be focused that much on the technical part of it, you're trying to hire a person to work you'll work with so focus on good communication and pragmatism of the candidate. I've tried to explain that in this blog post open.substack.com/pub/tophatcr...

Why isn't there an emoji for "I don't want to sound like an asshole"?

Or am I the asshole already for needing an emoji for that?

Whenever I hear "I don't make mistakes" my brain automatically autocorrects that to "I don't learn"

To paraphrase Mark Twain, if I had more time I would have coded a smaller class.

I really hope that inverting a binary tree is just a meme and that nobody actually asks that in tech interviews, because that would be like hiring a firefighter because they can piss very far, impressive, but hardly useful on a real fire.

I need to stop hoping that the book will get better after a few chapters. I'll get to better books sooner that way

Recently I've started turning my to-dos into "Do X for 10 minutes" where X = literally anything I want to work on and it actually works. I have a top tier monkey brain

for those who believe nothing can get better: you don't have to get in the way of those who do

The world would be far more balanced if we got game designers and dungeon masters to write our laws. They might go insane though

Wait, was I supposed to make a post exclaiming that I've joined here?
