Brains aren’t computers.

It’s self-evident:
🤖 Computers (even primitive ones) can do a lot of stuff that no brain can.
🧠 Brains (even primitive ones) can do a lot of stuff no computer can.

You know what’s really interesting?

That brains never evolved to be really fast and precise calculating things—which is exactly the raison d’être for computers.

(It’s either not necessary for consciousness or maybe actively detrimental to it?)

@aburkaaburka 🫣 You're judging before you've tried, and that's the disservice. You're assuming your skills will dull if you use an agent, and you're treating that assumption as a conclusion. That's the mistake. Try it first. See what actually happens. Then adjust your thinking based on experience, not fear.

I'm using them for months now, and in no way is it dulling my skills. I haven't learned as much as a programmer in years personally.

If you are a programmer and an AI hold-out, and you have some time off during Christmas: gift yourself a 100 USD subscription to Claude Code and … try it. But really try it. Take a week if you can afford it and dive in. It will change your opinion on these tools.

식탁보 1.15.0 버전을 출시했습니다. 1년여만의 대규모 업데이트로, .NET 10 적용과 함께 커뮤니티에서 불편 사항으로 여겨졌던 Windows Sandbox의 vGPU 기본 사용 문제, 언어 표시 문제, 그리고 인스톨러 간소화 등 성능과 기능 간소화는 물론, 코드의 분량을 대폭 간소화했습니다.

추후 TableCloth3 프로젝트에서 개발 중인 Avalonia 기반 프론트엔드로 쉽게 전환할 수 있도록 땅 다지기 작업도 같이 진행해두었고 계속 업데이트해나갈 예정입니다. 그리고 이번 업데이트부터 ARM64 빌드도 정식으로 제공됩니다.

꾸준한 관심과 성원에 늘 감사드립니다.

Open science is under threat. Research that was once freely available is being wiped from the internet or locked behind paywalls, hindering scientific advancement and progress for all. Today over a million scientific preprints are accessible and sharable through CC licenses, and we’re working to grow that number. Join us with a gift today.

I spent some time over the holidays refreshing my website and particularly looking at how I'm talking about my book The Engineering Leader. This includes _finally_ signing up for an Amazon author account (a new level of procrastination has been unlocked).

I could really use your help though, some things you can do for me:
- If you've read it (and liked it!) please leave a review. This really does help.
- Put it at the top of your to read pile 😆 (mine is long too, no judgement)
- Suggest me to your favourite podcast or newsletter.
- If you have a podcast or newsletter, ping me.
- If you are involved in a conference, I normally speak at 1-2 conferences a year and 2026 is open.

My new least favourite thing about writing a book is the need to either master self promotion or feel like two years of my life was wasted. Any and all help appreciated! Boosts and pep talks also welcome.
