@ireneista it would be very funny to watch a software dev do classics and learn that marcus aurelius was actually a softboi who never lived the stoic values they so prize, that socrates got executed for being a reply guy, that diogenes was the first shitposter and that all of them fucken loved golden age islamic thought. @aparrish
on the subject of "good learning materials" the kafka book "definitive guide" is exemplary: one third "how does this even work?!", one third "how do I get it up and run it" and one third "how I use it".
I don't like the artificial boundaries between people who implement it, people who manage it and people who use it.
From the people that brought you “Moderate Enthusiasm” and “Somewhat Interested” comes
the "build your own... from scratch" tutorials and books are such a helpful piece of "computering education"
I've seen now a couple of "building your own raft implementation" so I'm hoping for more low level pieces like "building your own openssl" for example.
(I believe "building git" by @jcoglan is on sale during august :)
I'm very positively surprised by buckwheat. by descriptions it sounded pretty horrible so I avoided it until recently.

"prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code" is the most absurd headline I've seen this year
NIH is imho worth it because of YOUR specific needs and because you need so much "less" or "simpler" of everything or possibly the opposite too much "I need it differently" and "nothing really fits our use case"
what LLM usage drives home for me is giving a flying fuck about "but you have to do/use X, it's best practice/nobody knows Z/there a framework for it" and really go back to doing programming with programming like you know actually doing "the code" however I (we) think is right and good with whatever language I (we) think is nice and a pleasure to work with because it's my (our) freaking shit and I (we) can do whatever I (we) want

personally I'm moving towards quantum cyber intelligence - heisenagents running the entanglement loop in the cybercloud.
I'm deeply fascinated by any system running for decades and decades I wish companies with a mainframe stack running since the 60ies would offer nerd tours like for when children can visit a fire station :)
I'm so super curious...
as alan kay said if you're serious about software you should build your own hardware so if you're serious about reading you should learn the language first
(reading the 3 body problem in english atm and wonder what tone it actually got in chinese..)
