Ignoring the 10x dev question, this is a good list of productivity impacts: antirez.com/news/112

I’ve had an “architect” title at various times, and I agree with pretty much all of this. The times when it was best was when it was really similar to “an engineer performing a slightly different (but substantially overlapping) set of functions as a senior engineer”. charity.wtf/2023/03/0…

Might have some time soon to catch up on my work reading, and might look at queuing some of these. blog.pragmaticengineer.com/holiday-t…

There was a really interesting (way less technical) post a while back from Josh Wardle (the Wordle guy, before Wordle when his big things were this and The Button) about lessons learned about how people work together and avoiding negativity in community activities etc. But I annoyingly cannot find it now. www.redditinc.com/blog/how-… - h/t Kostas

I’m a little skeptical that any of these “run X transpiled to JS” languages will take off (although I guess TypeScript is in some ways the same). pyscript.net

Another one of the text generating tools that seems fun and maybe useful, but doesn’t make me convinced it will absorb everything in the future. twitter.com/gd3kr/sta…

We use SphinxSearch (not to be confused with Sphinx the speech to text tool, or Sphinx the documentation tool) but have never done it particularly well (even though it’s been 12 years now). It’d be interesting to experiment with something like this, as well as (obviously) Elastic. manticoresearch.com/blog/mant…
