Posted on March 4, 2026 Bear cases Every other podcast these days is talking up the wonders of AI and how it is just a matter of time before everything radically changes. Meanwhile, as soon as I peel my eyes and ears away from my phone and look outside the window, I see that really nothing has changed. The singularity, where and whenever it is, isn’t here yet. As a fun intellectual exercise, I…

"Without (leverage to change) policy, your tool is stepping back and allowing the brokenness to collapse under its own weight. A deeply flawed system can't be saved by Band-Aids, but it can easily absorb your happiness to slightly extend its viability." – Will Larson, Systems of Engineering Management \[Sec 5.6.4\] (2019) What's sad about it is people actively not caring about saving some systems.…

I just found a video by Andreas Kling from 6 years ago (2019.07.23): "Commute talk: How to get worse at programming" Funnily enough, the tips given are somehow what everyone is encouraged to do on a daily basis. 1. "Always start with googling and finding existing solutions to your project / problem." As if every project has to be created once only. That sounds stupid when you think about other…

There is always more to do. Every waking hour is one tempting you to tackle your never-ending todo list. You know that by spending just 1hr now you would finish this or that. "Finishing" your todo list feels so close, yet never achievable. Aim for a todo stream instead. A "list" feels finite and is handled as such. You try to push through it to "be over, feel a sense of achievement, and relax". A…

Glue engineers know the tools. They know the frameworks. They know which package to install. But ask them to build the tool itself — the database, the compiler, the scheduler — and they’re lost. They won’t build the next kernel. They won’t write the next compiler. They won’t create the next database. They won’t design the next OS. They won’t invent the next hypervisor. They won’t architect the…

Posted on February 22, 2025 Building self-serve access to internal systems is generally a good idea. It would be silly to do engineering work to make a change when pressing buttons would do. The fact that it’s generally (and not universally) a good idea means that there are cases where it isn’t a good idea. The idea of making a task easier by making it self-serve, no code, in a UI shouldn’t be…

One way to look at it is that you are paying for the food, for the convenience, for the experience - you are paying for what you get out of it. You can also think about the things that are necessary to create the product you bought. There’s the beef and the buns. There’s also the labor…
