I published my first programming tutorial on Hashnode - Auth State in React with localStorage
Devastating review of Read, Write, Own. I’ve dabbled in crypto for several years, and I still think it has potential, but this is a full-throated reminder of the voice in the back of my head that says “maybe this is all just a waste of time?”
Copy & paste AI code has it’s downsides:
AI is like a “brand new credit card here that is going to allow us to accumulate technical debt in ways we were never able to do before,” Armando Solar-Lezama, a professor at MIT, told The Wall Street Journal in a story last year about AI coding tools.
Ethan Mollick has a great piece comparing AI to the early days of railroads. Unlike most hand-wavy “AI will destroy jobs” think pieces, this one provides concrete examples of how it’s making not just people but teams more productive at Wharton.
The railroad faced a huge new technological and organizational problem: how do we organize work across a huge geographic distance with a huge number of employees, all while maintaining centralized control and planning? Using the technology of the time, the telegraph, executive Daniel McCallum came up with a solution: the world’s first organizational chart.
