TIL that adding a screenshot as an input to iterate with Copilot is not that widely known. I've been using it for a while to streamline/debug my UX code.

Model builders, if you're taking recommendations, I would love to have a coding model that is really good at git rebase, merges, and resolving conflicts.

Karpathy's suggestion of using LLMs as a simulation machine "Who are the best people to answer XYZ and what would they say about it?" is a wonderful self-reflection heuristic.
Leverage it to the fullest before the next round of RLHF makes it ineffective for upcoming models. 💡

Degrees are merely proof of the money you've spent on a course. Education is knowing how to use what you learned.

I've published a project page about small exploration I've done earlier this year around code navigation / visualization of code structure using LLMs.

Growing up, I always found it both frustrating and amusing to see my dad glitch in real-time when we switched from a 9-channel TV operated by a knob to a 999-channel TV operated by a remote.
One interesting thing I've learned when talking with GitHub CEO @ashtom.bsky.social last week is how GitHub is hiring *more* early-careers devs (interns / new grads) as before.
I asked: why? Given lots of companies are hiring less assuming AI might be at the level of a junior dev (cont'd)
