I listened to The Pragmatic Engineer podcast yesterday, the episode with David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH, ruby on rails, basecamp, HEY).

https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/dhhs-new-way-of-writing-code

There is a beautiful section about software engineering as a craft, design, UX, and software that feels good. Really resonates with me. Here is a quote:

>> Esthetics is truth. When something is beautiful, it is likely to be correct. I think this is true in mathematics, this is true in physics, this is true in a lot of different domains.

>> When you arrive at something that has the correct esthetic quality, it's like we have an intuition that guides us towards that level of beauty because it also happens to be correct and noble and something to aspire for.

>> I also happen to believe it's what makes people happy. Being surrounded by beautiful well-function objects. It is key part of happiness.

DHH’s new way of writing code

David Heinemeier Hansson shares why he shifted to an agent-first AI workflow, and what it means for how software is built and who builds it.

Good observation on the current chaotic state of epistemology. Epistemology seeks to understand how knowledge is acquired in the human brain, including the influence of personality, mental state, and natural and social environments on the process and the quality of knowledge. It should offer insights into how people acquire knowledge so that they can make their own choices.

“As for the present, I am not willing to surrender the world to the jerky contortions of self-inducedly brainless bodies with empty eye sockets, who perform, in stinking basements, the immemorial rituals of staving off terror, which are a dime a dozen in any jungle—and to the quavering witch doctors who call it ‘#art.’”

When I read this, I wondered if #AynRand had been to one of my old bands’ early gigs. 😉
