Anyone have recommendations for books or online courses to learn frontend engineering and webapp design

Is it accurate to say Jupyter and JupyterLab have a single machine architecture? I think the notebook file is stored on the server. Are the lifetime of the frontend webapp and server closely coupled?

Dog parks are like dog poop lending libraries. Take a poop , leave a poop.

codex-cli has made learning front end much more enjoyable. Codex handles much of the coding letting me focus more on the software design and learning the corresponding concepts and patterns

Is it naive to think maybe the court finds this so outrageous it needed a full hearing to fully express it's outrage www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/u...

For me looking at my data isn't enough; I need to write about my data to force myself to look at my data to understand what story it's telling

I would love to meet the person who when standing in passport control after a long intercontinental flight thinks to themself "My number 1 concern is what sex is listed in the passport of all these folks" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/u...

I think the Airlines should take a stance on the shutdown and include a message in every delay/cancellation message. Or at the very least both sides it and include a message from each party blaming the other.

So much for efficiency. "... take screenshots of the text messages on their work phones, send it to their work email, download it on their work computers and then run a program ... to store it in searchable formats" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

How is "We want to raise the cost of healthcare and we're willing to grind air travel to a halt and risk ruining Thanksgiving" a winning position? It's just the latest example of legislative terrorism.

I support all the TSA and Traffic Controllers and other government workers who aren't showing up because they aren't getting paid. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

I think lack of a standard around VPC ServIce controls is holding agents back. If you want to give agents access to services (GitHub, Datadog, etc...) there two types of risk docs.cloud.google.com/vpc-service-...

Love that @hamel.bsky.social is putting on a hackathon where the goal is for your agent to score the highest on evaluations, not just do something flashy. click.convertkit-mail2.com/gkumlz753lc5...

I didn't realize how large the increase in healthcare premiums was until I saw the numbers. How do you afford $920/month if your making 65K per year? That's 11K/year for people who probably have very little disposable income as is. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Forcing government employees to work without pay is the antithesis of free market capitalism. It's another example how the government constantly puts its finger on the scale. Republicans only have a problem when it benefits the majority of Americans. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/u...

AI is great for writing code. Browsers are great for executing code. CORS and other security measures are major blocker to many valuable apps. If we want to make browsers great for AI we need to make it easier for users to say I trust this app and relax CORS.

This blog by @kentonvarda.com and @sunilpai.bsky.social is great. How easy would it be to adapt this to run in the browser? blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode/

I've been using codex-CLI to build the AISRE UI I've been dreaming of for two years but lacked the capability to build. Yesterday I used it to add the ability to execute code inside web containers; it even figured out how to execute d3 code and make the results visible

I was playing with using webcontainers to add JS executability to my @runme.dev app. But when you enable the required headers that breaks OpenAI's chatkit which is served off a different domain.

AI is separating the production and consumption of information. If direct access to Wikipedia is dropping that suggests information consumers find AI mediated consumption more useful. This will impact the production of information; including the economic model

System design interviews versus how work really happens

We have 🤖 AI notetakers in meetings but continue to silo know-how every time we close terminals. Not just the how but also the why and what. Sign up for beta access to visr.sh: it's like as if Granola AI and #tmux had a kid.

If your looking to get started with evals check out this cookbook from @hamel.bsky.social cookbook.openai.com/examples/eva...

So much for the idea of F-u-money. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/t...

I think People's intuition is that AISREs will solve problems the way humans do. I think this is unhelpful because it leads you to believe you just need to write down how humans solve ops problems. Notably you start thinking you can skip investing in evals.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Worth a read. The blog post is very understandable and has the advantage of being readable on mobile. openai.com/index/why-la...

Does anyone have a good/OTS solution for restricting outbound Internet access at the path level? E.g suppose you wanted to allow a container to access GitHub.com/myorg/* but not GitHub.com/otherorg/*

As AI automates a lot of the coding performed by entry level SWEs, I think it might get replaced by building evals (data labeling) as labor intensive tasks handled by new grads.

What a reminder of how good we had it. youtube.com/shorts/R426V...

If you're wanted to learn applied AI evals but not sure if its for you, @sh-reya.bsky.social and I put together something that might help. This free email course compiles what we've learned from teaching 2k+ students. It’s 17 emails plus 2 free e-books. Here's the link: ai.hamel.dev/eval-course

I've been eval pilled by @hamel.bsky.social . Everyone is all let's build some MCP servers and ship a minimal AISRE as quickly as possible. And I'm writing a design doc about how to build evals with @runme.dev so we can iterate rapidly on the AI

I can't tell whether I love or hate bazel. I think once it's properly configured it can handle very complex builds easily. But man getting there is a steep learning curve.

Stories like this illustrating the political and economic barriers to people getting the healthcare they need are what I think about when I hear tech executives promising that AI will give us universal income and healthcare www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/h...

I know this isn't really here or there but it's wild to me that the bomber crews woke up in their beds, flew across the world to conduct a risky mission, and then returned home to their beds.

Notably, I don't think of AI SRE as autonomous agents replacing people. Its a mistake to think of SRE as a role. It's really a mindset that you scale by building software. We will still need SREs but I think the job will change. For one thing we will need to start building evals.

SRE = building software systems to manage infrastructure reliably at scale AI SRE = building AI systems (in addition to software) to manage infrastructure reliably at scale
