Just Talk To It – the no-bs Way of Agentic Engineering

Just Talk To It – the no-bs Way of Agentic Engineering

✨ Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: 💡 Main takeaway: I’ve been more quiet here lately as I’m knee-deep working on my latest project. Agentic engineering has become so good that it now writes pretty much 100% of my code. And yet I see so many folks trying to solve issues and generating these elaborated charades instead of getting sh*t done. This post partly is inspired by the conversations I had at last night’s Claude Code Anonymous in London and partly since it’s been an AI year since my last workflow update. Time for a check-in.…

Can We Know Whether a Profiler is Accurate? · Stefan-Marr.de

🚀 Read this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: 💡 Here’s what you’ll learn: If you have been following the adventures of our hero over the last couple of years, you might remember that we can’t really trust sampling profilers for Java, and it’s even worse for Java’s instrumentation-based profilers. For sampling profilers, the so-called observer effect gets in the way: when we profile a program, the profiling itself can change the program’s performance behavior. This means we can’t simply increase the sampling frequency to get a more accurate profile, because the sampling causes inaccuracies. So, how could…
