I think GUIs are great (when done well)! But the bar where terminal applications are frustrating for the developer or the user is way, way too low. A world exists where new software is written in the terminal because it’s genuinely an exciting capable platform and that’s my goal.

I'm convinced that gitflow is a psyop and no one ever done that in practice because it takes like 30 seconds of thinking before you realize this is completely unfeasible and a huge waste of everyone's time

Today, Linus Torvalds told a Google engineer that his code (updating RISC-V support in the Linux kernel) is “garbage” which “makes the world actively a worse place to live”. Adding that the Google engineer’s code needs to “get bent”. As you might have guessed, Torvalds has…

The unsexy truth for the build in public hypeboys is that its not a lot of work or time to get a sexy demo, but it is a lot of work and time to translate that into meaningful value (a lot of that being non-technical). And I see too many people repeatedly celebrating the demo.…

Eric Schmidt says traditional user interfaces are going to go away. The WIMP model (windows, icons, menus, pull-downs) was built 50 years ago. In the age of agents, UI becomes ephemeral. Generated on demand, shaped by intent, not layout.

Otel is such a waste of energy and anyone who says otherwise has not lived through the implementation and maintenance pain The semantics are a mess, they keep changing, most libraries aren’t implemented well, and don’t get me started on the “community”

Staff Engineer is a made-up term to justify promotions and make people feel better. There’s no real difference between Senior and Staff.

"Fundamental" truths about software: - Code is liability - The more code you have, the more bugs you tend to have - The more complex a system, the more important architecture becomes - Writing maintainable code is a lot more effort than just getting it to work

Apps are slower than they were 10 years ago. They use more memory. They crash more often. And they still can't load basic data without spinning loaders. What did we gain? A virtual DOM and 5 layers of abstraction. What did we lose? Performance, simplicity, and elegance.

I routinely write “No hurry, no pause” at the top of my notebooks as a daily reminder. You can get 95% of the results you want by calmly putting one foot in front of the other. One former Navy SEAL friend once texted me a principle used in their training: “Slow is smooth.…
