Why not slow down?

Why does it have to be frenetic? Why not just slow down? I suppose you could, but I don’t recommend it. It’s just such a miserable experience to spend your day close-reading LLM output: carefully chewing and savoring each morsel of slop. It’s far less unpleasant to skim through quickly and pick out the useful nuggets of content.

Couldn’t you simply do more of the work by hand? It’s unfortunately true that tech is high-pressure these days. If you’ve got the time and space to work more slowly, that’s great! But when your company gives you a “solve this task ten times more quickly” button, you are heavily incentivized to use it as much as possible, or risk being outcompeted by your peers.

Бирман общается с людьми. Как по мне, довольно трушный олдскульный формат подкаста.

Темы иногда мега странные, но мне нравится, что их обсуждают.

This belief is, for me, not some abstruse theoretical assertion, but a deeply felt belief that essentially any question I might care to ask (about computers) has a comprehensible answer which is accessible with determined exploration and learning.

A fresh take on typesetting

Sort-merge joins do not need indexes on the join predicates.

О том, что люди получают много денег на технических должностях, но не работают и не учатся новому. Из-за большой зарплаты трудно сменить работу, потому что многим важна стабильность. Получается замкнутый круг.
