Hi HN, I'm Djoumé. I've been a developer for over 20 years, and like a lot of you I've been coding almost exclusively through an agent in the past few months. It's been amazing to vibe code prototypes in any stack, but when it comes to building something reliable/scalable, I couldn't effectively guide the agent unless I knew the technology. And the scariest part is that I'm seeing a lot of my technical skills decreasing due to AI coding. Reflecting on my journey, I also worry about how the new "

Hello, fellow overstimulated kids I don't know if it's something of my generation, my worsening ADHD or just laziness, but whenever I sit down and start studying something, magically, I find myself researching the most random shit ever.

Good system. One addition that moved the needle for me: ​ I track "capacity conversion" -- when AI saves me 3 hours on a task what do those 3 hours actually become? ​ Most people save time with AI and then fill it with more busywork. The ROI only materializes when you deliberately redirect saved time toward higher-value activities. ​ I keep a simple log: "AI saved X hours on [task]. Redirected to [activity]. Value of redirected time: [$amount]." ​ After 6 months, my actual ROI was 4x higher than the "time saved" metric suggested because of where the saved time went. ​ submitted by /u/JaredSanborn [link] [留言]

Summer is almost here, and that means getting outside, having fun in the sun, and touching grass. But if you need to cool down for a bit, allow me to sing the praises of the library. If your local library system is anything like mine, it probably offers a lot of great things for you […]

The most powerful AI employee, now in Microsoft Teams Discussion | Link

When a platform started with total developer autonomy, teams felt overwhelmed and ended up solving the same problems in completely different ways. The company shifted to enablement over support, working together with teams intensively, and helping teams feel confident and capable, turning the right way into being the easiest way. By Ben Linders
