Cool
For those who haven't come across it yet, here's a handy trick to discuss an entire GitHub repo with an LLM: => Just replace "github" with "gitingest" in the url, and you get the whole repo as a single string that you can then paste in your LLMs

the power of gen ai for coding reveals the divide between those who code for the love of code, and those for whom coding is a means to an end. I imagine the former make better coders, but in the actual world of people wanting to solve problems, the end result is what matters.

Wondering if the limiting factor for me being a better dev is the size of the context window my brain can handle. The stoics recommend -wisely - to focus on that which is within your control, but this is a tantalising prospect.

Amazing
I built a natural language CLI. It generates Python scripts to answer your question, then auto-executes them in the cwd. You will not believe how capable this simple pattern is. Rawdogging gpt-4 from the command line. Rawdog. 1/

Learning @golang, and it's great so far. Early days, but nice little details like pointers to structs don't need to be dereferenced. I'm reminded of "The Blub Paradox" from @paulg's timeless piece about programming languages' relative power paulgraham.com/avg.html

Excellent thread
It wasn't until I'd *taught* algorithms a few times that I finally understood why sorting is in the CS curriculum. Unfortunately, most curricula don't explain this! It is NOT because sorting is an important algorithm to learn to implement...

Timeless insight
Everyone with less technical skill than me is a dinosaur. Everyone with more technical skill than me has no business sense.

Worth thinking about:
Hot take: Coders, If you aren’t writing w/AI in a greenfield repo right now, your career is over pre-GPT4 code was optimized for humans to read/write. This no longer makes any sense basic concepts like putting a class in a file public/private interfaces DRY/SOLID now obsolete
