"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

The advice that we get, the systems that we know of, have come out of finding patterns among numerous examples. The best way to build things is to do what works for you and it will boil down into one of the known patterns. Valid for building startups, org, or software systems.

Could not agree more. Charity verbalizes what I’ve struggled to put a finger on. That writing code is the easiest part of software engineering. Sure, AI coding tools make this easier. But any company not investing entry-level engineers because of this cannibalize themselves.

Code is largely worthless, more of a liability than an asset. Problem-solving is where the value is.

Be curious and work hard. Work life balance is shade of black-white and not black and white as people envision, don’t fall into that trap. If you are young, work hard and be curious. You will enjoy your 30s/40s/50s and so on.

The interesting thing when building is that value is only unlocked after doing a certain amount of boring work. Knowing the boring work that moves the needle is a superpower which comes from thinking through things deeply. Which, most people don’t do because it’s boring.

I once pushed a code that, instead of deleting files in a particular folder, deleted credential files on the host machine, effectively shutting down all data flows throughout the org during trading hours. In my defence, the cred file should've had 400 permission!

What makes me sad is not just the nostalgia associated with it. But that you got to learn a few different things while finding the solutions to your problems. ChatGPT is analogous to WFH wherein you stop learning by 'osmosis'.

You have seen TechTrees (left) Now see a basic TechTree to LLMs/Basic AI (right). I haven't researched much - I just drew it quickly in paint to give you an idea. Feel free to criticize it IF you get the bigger point. You need Manufacturing. You need Chip Design. You need…
