I'm not a competitive programmer and won't be one, but this book seems to be a very practical, hands-on intro into many useful algorithms. Really good!

LLMs are a game-changer. You work more for less money.

Need to get the budget for those tokens somewhere.

Calling up a bot farm owner pre-pitch is "partnership"

You build the system, the factory, that presumably is looking at your task tracker, writes and reviews design docs, reviews code, etc. And this system, in turn, writes software for you.

I don't know how that's supposed to work, but to me it's the most autistic replacement of the actual team that one can come up with.

Marketing reached next level?

I wouldn't care to read manual for my microwave, as long as basic functions work. Similarly, people don't seem to bother to use their software to its full potential.

Computers have become appliances.

This is almost exactly what Jordan Rudess is doing now with some folks from MIT or Stanford right now. Google his interview with Rick Beato.

Such a smoking gun that Anthropic made load bearing.

This cuts against you in a way that genuinely matters.

A verified honest take, not just an assumption.

Certainly load bearing, great call.

Importantly, blast radius is confirmed and systemic gaps safely sealed.

A caveat though, and it's a real one: Not all seams have been.-

Thanks, bought the book. Sounds pretty interestng.

I read that book every few years, and it really messes with my head for a week or two each time.
