If you are into podcasts Steve McConnell (the author) was a guest a couple of months ago on the pragmatic engineer podcast. My one take away from that podcast was just how young and new in his career he was when he wrote that book.
Yes. And if you read his other books, you'll see that he was trying to create positive change in programming over and over again, but steadily climbed what part of the organizational ladder he was trying to address.
That book, being the first, is pretty squarely aimed at shortening the journey from junior programmer to senior.
This is a really useful thread with posts from people actually using LLMs.
I wonder if Claude-100k could be used to ingest this entire thread and then answer questions based on it, or summarize or identify the pros/cons of certain aspects of Claude, large context windows, vector embeddings, etc.
That's what I had in mind. Happy to talk to the computer but show me the results on a screen. If I'm typing in a freeform query, I'd generally just as soon say it instead. (Assuming I'm somewhere I can talk.)
Will be testing it with some of the agent work I'm doing on agent.ai.
If you're ever looking for a super low-maintenance indie investor, please reach out. Have lots of YC folks that will vouch for me.
