Wow, that "We're hiring/Career Page" link is geeksmaxxing. First time seeing `ssh superlogical.jobs` would be a way to show job descriptions in terminal!

In the 2010s, if you had technical gaps (say, you couldn’t write CSS), you had to either rely on a skilled colleague or just hope that the answer to your exact problem was out there on the internet

This is not at the top as it is actively flagged by people that can't psychologically cope with the advances of AI. Hacker News is no longer a web site of an elite.

Writing Python should be close to a “zen” experience. At its best, when you get into the flow state, the thoughts you are thinking about the thing you are trying to build are shaped like Python code as you go through the process of writing it down.

No offense but you lack the required CS basics to be so confident about yourself in debates about complexity. It's the perfect moment to stop and reflect if you want to avoid Dunning-Kruger.

This piece of writing moved me to my core, shook my whole being, enlivened my soul. It reminded me that I need to step away from Claude Code every once in a while and read the Classics.

Bun is the quintessential AI slop project at this point. Inheriting that is no easy task. [...] To this end, LLMs will be used extensively. [for Buz]

Rust is so thoroughly and obviously the correct thing that using anything less correct should be taken as a sign of engineering incompetence.

For the last 16 years, I have been a huge fan of Haskell. It has been undeniably the most important programming language in my life ... and I serve on the board of the Haskell Foundation ... our backend has been built in Haskell ... we started doing all new API work in Python

The question is: will LLMs manage to squeeze the most out of this hardware, better than compilers do? In the few tests I’ve run, yes, a lot.
