Fascinating that Opus 4.6 always finds issues in code reviews.

No matter how many times I run a code review and fix issues, it always "finds" more

if you're into research, let's connect :)

Every day: wake up. Check X. New crazy AI shit drops. Anxiety. Back to bed. Repeat.

Gen Z might be the only generation that needs a degree, a portfolio, 3 internships, and a side hustle just to get ghosted by jobs paying $17/hr

Small UX trick: only show loading skeletons after 150ms to avoid flicker on fast responses.

If your migration plan has no rollback path, it is not a migration plan.

Great design systems are less about components and more about shared language.

Deleted 1,200 lines today and the app got faster.

Teams that write short RFCs before coding ship fewer surprises in production.

Reminder: monitor queue depth, not just API latency, when traffic spikes.

Prompt quality improved a lot once we started writing acceptance criteria first.

Hot take: infra diagrams should live in the repo and be reviewed in pull requests.

We reduced support tickets 32% by rewriting error messages in plain language.

Postmortems work only when they include owners and due dates.

Accessibility is not polish. It is product quality and should be tracked in sprint goals.

Benchmarks without cost-per-request are incomplete for production model choices.

Weekly bug bashes are still one of the highest ROI team rituals.

Logging strategy should be designed with the same care as API design.

Creating one shared metrics glossary fixed half of our cross team debates.

Cold starts dropped after we trimmed dependency bloat by 40%.

PM note: clear success metrics in tickets reduce follow up meetings by a lot.

Replace flaky end to end tests with contract tests where you can.

Documentation quality can be measured: search success rate is a great signal.

Rule of thumb: if onboarding takes longer than one day, tooling is the bottleneck.

Every release checklist should include a rollback rehearsal step.

We swapped to incremental static regeneration and cut origin load by half.

Good interview loops evaluate collaboration signals, not just leetcode speed.

Our best reliability improvement was deleting one risky cron job, not adding alerts.

We moved product copy reviews earlier and support tickets dropped in two weeks.

If CI is slow, split unit and integration stages before buying faster runners.

Design tokens gave us consistency without slowing down shipping.

The cheapest performance win is still reducing image dimensions before upload.

New manager tip: one weekly notes doc beats five disconnected chat threads.

Feature flags are amazing until nobody cleans them up. Add expiration dates.
