    And to add that smart people fall for dumb biases, we just need to look at the object oriented mania of the 2000s to late 2010s to see us shoehorn in one paradigm into everything without critically considering whether it made sense over other models.

    Can an LLM do everything I need yet? No.

    But is a stochastic parrot good enough to help me complete a function and help me restructure code? Yes definitely.

    Claude is good enough for so much of the low value code I write that is actually a useful tool. I have to review the code but it’s useable.

    I use AI search to lookup functions that I don’t need detailed docs for, or to help me debug arcane library specific errors (just had one earlier today where in polars the list and array types are very much not interchangeable and the explode method was failing).

    I still read the docs on things that are critical, and I write the critical paths and dictate structure and understand the problem im solving well.











  • We grew up with various windows and DOS computers, then my first computer that was mine was a used computer with Windows ME and a massive 20gb hard drive.

    After that I bought an iMac with Mac OS X tiger and have been using Macs ever since.

    I’ve also frankensteined a few Linux machines together from yard sale parts over the years.





  • The object storage (S3-compatible) platform MinIO created a bit of a stir this week with a PR that removes a ton of functionality from the interface of its community edition. When questioned, users were directed to the enterprise version of the platform. In unsurprising open-source fashion, a fork has already been created by the community while others have started migrating to existing alternatives like Garage.

    How are people finding Garage? Does anyone have a good comparison vs seaweedFS?
