Just saw this interview where the question was “how far do you think we are from having AI operate as a junior engineer 24/7?” I cannot stress enough that I would pay a reasonable fee to 𝘯𝘰𝘵 have an unsupervised junior engineer operating 24/7 in our codebase.

Physics is learned by solving physics problems. A guy who "learns" physics by talking to chatgpt for hours a day, can spend an entire year never once solving a single problem, but thinking that he is learning physics. A freshman on their very first day, has learned more physics than he has.

Really liked this @aaronrosspowell.com piece as an antidote to the idea, valorized by a lot of the internet left in the 2010s, that being an asshole is good praxis. That idea failed miserably. It's time to rediscover being decent. www.aaronrosspowell.com/p/the-necess...

The most important thing I can tell everyone that I've learned from being a YouTuber who explains how stuff works is that each and every time I thought "this is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained" I was wrong.
