Big companies have thousands of leaders. Many good, many bad.

This is analogous to measuring productivity by LoC output.

However I see tons of people on LinkedIn with ways of backing up context, not wanting to lose context, etc.

This seems like another way the system is being misused. Higher context usage also uses more tokens. I suspect you get worse (and slower) output too than a dense detailed context.

Ultimately I think I’d bias towards readability vs the marginal perf increase though.

I feel like a goal with good code is localizing understanding even if it occasionally duplicates something like a parameter name.

I really just wanted text markdown flash cards though. Pretty simple requirements on my end.

It's both hustle and luck. One reason I left Microsoft was because I wasn't on track there. The organization was good but also top heavy so there wasn't room for growth. When I joined Rec Room the tech I built really clicked and the company scaled rapidly. Our team became critical and helped hundreds of coworkers advance their goals. I've heard another principal engineer describe this as, "being pulled into the white hot burning center of a company".

As far as I can tell there's no "trick" to hitting the role. I'd describe it more as, "repeatedly move mountains". There's some luck identifying the right mountains and luck + hustle moving them at all.

Is there anything in particular that stands out about Space vs 1-shotting a flash card implementation?

It's also interesting to think of how it scales. Up to a limit, the more context you provide in the input, the better the output becomes.

It’s good to chuckle every once in awhile and I hope even Marc Andreessen gets a laugh when he sees this.

I’ll give my hot take without reading.

I’ve been in a lot of kinds of scrum and it seems like a YMMV thing. The most effective scrums are the ones which start from first principle and create a process for the teams current needs.

Many of the most effective ones worked out of a spreadsheet or Google doc rather than an issue tracker. Sometime the PM would update the issue tracker behind the scenes to keep devs out of it.

Anyways, my point is that most effective things are custom built rather than trying to apply a blanket process across a company or to different situations.

I’ve been using some generated assets for a game with voxelized art. I intend to take a deeper look at this and see if it can simplify parts of my workflow.

What I really wanted though was just a way to get my own site’s score without having a competitor.
