Yo, the same microwave technology was invented for radar, dries lumber, powers wifi and bluetooth, and has a million other uses. It’s a fundamental, ubiquitous technology.

It seems unsurprising that, on average, an undergraduate student will lose one or more of their grandparents during college. And given that there's a large spike in the death rates of the elderly leading up to the holidays, it would be weirder if you didn't have any grieving students, wouldn't it?

Not when blocking TikTok or canceling morning standup saves a similar amount of time.

Sure, but if Prelude wasn’t implicitly imported maybe the issues would have been fixed by now. It’s been a problem so long I was still using hugs when I first became aware of it :p

Given all its issues (head, error, String, etc., etc., etc.) my vote goes to Prelude.

I must live in a filter bubble because I don’t much negativity in my feed beyond bubble concerns. The replies in this thread are wild.

And most importantly, I can avoid burdening my coworkers or myself with executing on all of that (mostly throw-away) work.
From that standpoint, I'm convinced that Claude Code is significantly more valuable than what they're charging, even if it can't write production-quality code. /rant 9/9

But I can start half a dozen experiments in an afternoon or evening, see the results after I put the kids to bed, and have useful feedback/insight for my actual engineers (or myself) by the next morning, without sacrificing time for sleep or hobbies. 8/n

Claude Code lets me take a few minutes to write up a specification for an experiment I want to see, when I have the idea, and come back later to see the result. Sure, its work sucks a lot of the time. It's not going to replace me as a Haskell engineer any time soon. 7/n

From 8-4, I have *real* work to, whether it's tackling some difficult engineering problem or collaborating with customers. After 4, I have kids to be present for as a parent. That pretty much leaves the early morning or late at night, and I'm ngl I'm a lot more tired than I was 20 years ago. 6/n

AI skeptics, especially those who are mid-level engineers, wonder why a manager can't do it on their own time. Sure, sometimes there's a skill gap, but I've always worked for highly technical managers. More importantly there's a time gap. I don't have the time I did back when I was 25. 5/n
