    I have travelled to India a few times and the food wasn’t spicer than what I could get here in Kansas.

    After some discovery I learned that we use the word spicy differently (although South India Andhra style was a bit hotter).

    I was used to using the word spicy to mean the heat level of the food, kinda like a measure of capsaicin. This is how I see Americans use the word.

    They were largely using spicy to refer to the volume off spices in a dish, kinda like a measure of “strength of flavor”. This is how I saw various cultures in India use the word.

    Those things are often related, but are different in meaningful ways that result in these tropes.



  • Some of this does not line up with my lived experience pretty starkly.

    Repo level markdown files with architectural guidance not working for example… I’ve found that works quite well.

    Not perfectly well, but llms are designed specifically NOT to be perfect deterministic executioners. Still though, pretty well.

    I have seen that in a jr engineers hands llms get to bad outcomes fast, and unintuitively (to leaders…) usage of llms in coding does not provide a path for a he engineer to upskill into a sr engineer. A sr engineer with llms though is almost always radically augmented regarding their output speed on task completion.







  • You could not be more misinformed here. I say this as someone who drives an electric. The modern corvettes are insane value for a sports car, extremely moddablr and reliable, as quick or quicker than an ev while annihilating most evs on top speed.

    You sir, are the worst kind of incorrect. You are confidently incorrect.
