I should start posting all of the comments that the LLMs make. lol Is really 1500 lines in a file a God Object?

It is the sweetest thing when your pup who just learned about their pets button clicks the pets button 🥹

Fun fact: if your merge is too large, Claude Code and Github will judge you. Don't ask me how big mine was 🫣

Every time Claude Code remembers something I wrote in CLAUDE.md, I do a little dance. 💃

I got a 3D printer for Christmas. The first thing I did was break the hex key that came with it.

The difference between a thought and a product is execution. It is time to get started folks!

I get it. You don't want to use LLMs in your code. That's fine. But have you considered using it for documentation? or leadership updates? #llm #data #engineer

For those of you who are currently interviewing for machine learning roles in startups specifically, make sure that the machine learning is part of the product and roadmap on an executive level. This will save you a lot of stress and energy in the future. #data #ml

Always note what audience you are talking too. Some engineers will say "production is broke" when there is some functionality missing. Don't say this to your manager. Their heads might explode.

A dense but great read. modelcraft.substack.com/p/mo…

I am just going to keep reading about how GPUs are being built and how self-attention came to be. ✨Take a look at the free Dive into Deep Learning book d2l.ai/index.html.

We are only as good as our teammembers.

At your core, who do you want to be?

Cursor added planning mode. I was getting frustrated with todos because I thought that was their planning mode. That was not the case. Check out planning mode -> cursor.com/docs/agent/planni…

Does your brain go fast too? Like I am sitting here thinking about the next two steps that I have to build out while focusing on the current step.

Yesterday I said LLMs are not like puppy training, but I was wrong. Just like dogs need clear commands, LLMs need precise prompts. When we are vague with either, we get unexpected results, then blame the dog or the AI. The key is learning to communicate effectively.

There's no relationship between raising puppies and LLMs. However, we did get a new puppy! Her name is Delphie and she is a 6 month old McNab/BorderCollie mix.
