I think Uncle Bob is a charlatan... but guys he's right on this one. Representing queries as a data structure in your host language is clearly superior to SQL. SQL blows and you know it. And I say this as a guy that is far better at SQL than 99% of engineers out there.

A productivity hack I like is to create forcing functions for yourself. It’s hard to bring peak agency to every encounter, but if you create forcing functions then you can rely on worry rather than will to guide you. A good example is running races. It’s hard to train every day

Congrats to Gemini for beating Pokémon. AGI is officially here (let’s just ignore the help from the dev…)

It's crazy how good LLMs are getting at long multi turn work with lots of tool calls. 6 months ago the best way to use AI in business was as a step in a hand crafted workflow. Now, making the workflow just seems unnecessarily pedantic most of the time.

Remember when all people asked LLMs for was poems about silly stuff? We built the thing that will one day be our silicon overlord, and the first thing we demanded was entertainment. It will probably be the last too.

I reckon the best application layer AI companies will turn out to look more like Snowflake than Salesforce. They will expose all the magic and solve problems like governance, reliability, and security. The power is in the prompt, and a vendor can't write your prompts just as

Intelligence is becoming a fungible resource. What does that mean exactly? Firstly, what is intelligence and why does it matter to businesses? In practical terms, a useful definition is that it's a resource that lets you compute decisions in the context of some goals and a

I looked at ~2800 VC-backed companies with >50 Glassdoor reviews and calculated the Grindscore for each. Grindscore = "Positive Business Outlook" / "Work Life Balance" >1.1 suggests employees believe in the business and are working very hard. India #1 is not a surprise 🇮🇳
