Let’s talk about AI pair programming - not the hypothetical future version, but what we have right now in 2024. I’ve spent the last year working extensively with AI coding assistants, and I have some thoughts to share.

Powerful and cautionary story. I wondered for many years, how all of this could have happened. How people like my grandpa turned into monsters and people around him watched or turned into monsters with him. The last years made this very clear. More here .

It's time for my annual books roundup - slightly late, but who's counting? (it's me) In the earliest moments of 2023, my partner Yee Aun and I were hailing a pedicab on the rainy streets of San Diego; as the year ended, we were cozy in bed hours before, having succumbed to sleep. Funny, the contrast. Looking back on this list, Jo Harkin's Tell Me An Ending stands out as my favorite, a story following several people through a world wh....

I visited Greece last year, spending a week in Athens and then another in Thessaloniki to attend a wedding. I took so many pictures and they’re just languishing in my phone, so I decided put them into a small travel post.

A dozen years ago, I shared an edited-for-readability chat I had with a friend on the gold standard. In it I stated: I’d think that it would be better to keep the mountains and valleys more stable / less high|deep, so that slowdowns aren’t felt by a disproportionately small community/niche of the economy, and so... continue “bring back boom-and-bust” »

Proper Multicast DNS Handling with NetworkManager and systemd-resolved

Using NetworkManager and systemd-resolved together in Debian bookworm does not work out of the box. The first sign of trouble was these constant messages in my logs: avahi-daemon[pid]: Host name conflict, retrying with hostname-2 Then I realized that CUPS printer discovery didn't work: my network printer could not be found. Since this discovery now relies on Multicast DNS , it would make sense that both problems are related to an ....

If you are one of the few following me on Substack, I have news: I’m leaving Substack and moving to a different platform . I actually left a couple of weeks ago; my latest posts are not on Substack and you can find them on my website (the source of all my content), or you can subscribe to the new newsletter or the RSS feed like hackers do. If you’re an old-time Substack subscriber, you already know because I transferred all the act..

A not insignificant part of my job is to go over code. Today I want to discuss how we approach code reviews at RavenDB, not from a process perspective but from an operational one. I have been a developer for nearly 25 years now, and I’ve come to realize that when I’m doing a code review I’m actually looking at the code from three separate perspectives. The first, and most obvious one, is when I’m actually looking for problems in the code -....

I have a lot of thoughts about this book but I’ll try to keep this brief. To start, this book has a very odd citation format. The author directly cites journalists, blog posts, magazine surveys directly in line, but then deeper resources, ie Academic Studies, Medical Journals, are cited at the back of the book - and not many are cited compared to how many Journalists are. This creates a problem where many times in the book the author will..

Over the decades I've relied heavily on bash aliases and functions to automate common tasks, resulting in a .bash_profile that's over a thousand lines long. But lately I find myself writing many small scripts instead. These tiny scripts, which live in a directory on my $PATH, have several advantages: They compose nicely, in line with the Unix philosophy . They are reasonably portable. If it works for me on Linux, it'll often work on....
