The Programmers’ Credo: we do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy

I love the “Joys of the Craft” passage from The Mythical Man-Month. The joy of making things. Making things people use. Building complex systems and watching them work. Always learning. Turning something in your head into something real. Almost none of it is about writing code.

It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…

basically
Can’t get scammed if you never click anything anywhere and never open any messages and never reply to anyone ever.

Low-risk way to try Muse if you’re not ready to give it access to your email: give it your Netflix account.

Wolfram was right, probably
I guess it really might be the case that math and physics are just apps of computer science.

Still the same game, but with more leverage and bigger ambitions.
before ai you would - write some code - it works, ship it - few months later you'd realize it was bad - you'd refactor it - repeat not sure much has changed. you can produce a lot of code now but you can also refactor a lot of code

Understanding a system by reading every line of code isn’t scalable, and never was. It might feel chaotic or untethered, but getting comfortable with that was always part of the job.
Delegate coding. Never delegate understanding. If code was previously your source of truth for managing understanding, then you need a new source of truth artifact. If code-centric workflows were how you developed that understanding, then you need new workflows.

It's incredible how far you can go if you just don't stop.

yet another fun jev experiment... i took a particle fluid simulation, pulled out the part that does the physics (what happens when two particles collide) and let jev handle it at the micro scale. 6.3 million decisions for this one, and the only laws it's told to follow are conservation of momentum and energy, and it never once broke them.

If you’re curious and love to learn, there has never been a better time to be alive.
