Career advice, or something like it - Marc's BlogEverybody has something they can complain about, and complaining is fun.
Career advice, or something like it - Marc's BlogAll great careers, to some degree, become sales jobs.
How To Be SuccessfulTruth-seeking is hard and often painful, but it is what separates self-belief from self-delusion.
How To Be SuccessfulSelf-belief must be balanced with self-awareness.
How To Be SuccessfulAnd unfortunately, the more ambitious you are, the more the world will try to tear you down.
How To Be SuccessfulYou don't want to be in a career where people who have been doing it for two years can be as effective as people who have been doing it for twenty
How To Be SuccessfulA good system can do things that no component can do alone.
LLMs as Parts of Systems - Marc's Blogsystem should work for your engineers, not against them.
Measuring Engineering Productivity | Off by OneWhen you measure the wrong things—lines of code, number of commits, hours logged—you create dysfunction. When you burden engineers with measurement overhead, you reduce productivity instead of improving it and create enemies. When you use metrics as a weapon to punish people, you destroy trust.
Measuring Engineering Productivity | Off by OneThe most important principle that guided everything: the bulk of the “paperwork” should fall on management, not individual contributors.
Measuring Engineering Productivity | Off by One"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure".
Goodhart's lawSocial media has been extremely toxic for the last couple months. It’s targeting you with fear and anxiety. If you don’t use this new stupid AI thing you will fall behind. If you haven’t totally updated your workflow you are worth 0. There’s people who built billion dollars companies by orchestrating 37 agents this morning AND YOU JUST SAT THERE AND ATE BREAKFAST LIKE A PLEB
Every minute you aren’t running 69 agents, you are falling behind | the singularity is nearerA simple test here is to make sure that creative problems circulate in your mind while you are brushing your teeth
Genius checklist - supermemo.gurucommon theme in all of these is automated tests.
Designing agentic loops“ugh, I’m going to have to try a lot of variations here” is a strong signal that an agentic loop might be worth trying!
Designing agentic loopsThe thing to look out for here are problems with clear success criteria where finding a good solution is likely to involve (potentially slightly tedious) trial and error.
Designing agentic loopsMy preferred definition of an LLM agent is something that runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal.
Designing agentic loopsAny decision that is worth making is also worth recording.
The end of "Just ask Sarah" — Simon AronssonAsk to be included in architecture discussions, request to shadow incident response, and when you get feedback, ask “why does this matter?”
Who will be the senior engineers of 2035? - The Engineering ManagerSeek scar tissue deliberately
Who will be the senior engineers of 2035? - The Engineering ManagerSo create new ones: pair juniors with seniors on complex problems, give them ownership of small but real projects, let them lead incident retrospectives. OpenAI is experimenting with a “super senior + super junior” model for exactly this reason. The goal is scar tissue, not busywork.
Who will be the senior engineers of 2035? - The Engineering ManagerThe engineers who thrive are the entrepreneurial ones, those who can ship whole products rather than just features.
Who will be the senior engineers of 2035? - The Engineering Managerwe could see a world where everyone becomes part product manager, part engineer, part designer
Who will be the senior engineers of 2035? - The Engineering ManagerThe first Department of Computer Sciences in the United States was established at Purdue University in October 1962
History of the Department - Department of Computer Science - Purdue University“hollowed-out career ladder”: seniors at the top, AI handling the grunt work, and very few people learning in between.
Who will be the senior engineers of 2035? - The Engineering Managerhow one progresses from junior to senior: scar tissue
Who will be the senior engineers of 2035? - The Engineering Managerbelief is justified if it coheres with other beliefs of the person
PhilosophyThe problem is that the source of justification may itself be in need of another source of justification.
Philosophyalso investigates practical knowledge
PhilosophyEpistemology is primarily interested in declarative knowledge or knowledge of facts
Philosophythinking about thinking
PhilosophyScience-based definitions usually face the problem of explaining why philosophy in its long history has not progressed to the same extent or in the same way as the sciences.[26] This problem is avoided by seeing philosophy as an immature or provisional science whose subdisciplines cease to be philosophy once they have fully developed
Philosophyoften does not result in straightforward answers but may help a person to better understand the topic, examine their life, dispel confusion, and overcome prejudices and self-deceptive ideas associated with common sense.
PhilosophyEpistemology is the main branch of philosophy that examines the nature, origin, and limits of knowledge.
EpistemologySometimes the early bird gets the worm and sometimes the first mouse gets killed.
First Principles: The Building Blocks of True Knowledge - Farnam StreetThe gulf between what people currently see because their thinking is framed by someone else and what is physically possible is filled by the people who use first principles to think through problems.
First Principles: The Building Blocks of True Knowledge - Farnam StreetThe problem is that we don’t know as much as we think we do, so our intuition isn’t very good
First Principles: The Building Blocks of True Knowledge - Farnam Streetknowledge can be built only when we are actively trying to falsify it
