I just wrote a new blog post, called “Choose Boring T̶e̶c̶h̶n̶o̶l̶o̶g̶y̶ Culture”, on the difference between formal/org culture and informal/bottoms-up culture, what *actually* makes work fun, and where to invest your innovation tokens.

Amazon is *very* proud of its #flywheel: first, they subsidized customers, luriing in sellers. Then they demanded lower prices, luring more buyers. With more customers, more sellers piled in. Faster the flywheel spins, creating the #EverythingStore:

...of course it matters, esp for effective use of memory, but just as, or more important =

- effective use of caching
- DB optimisation
- infrastructure optimisation
- choice of programming language (e.g. Java is ~10x faster than Python)

I never saw "clean code" & performance in conflict, but solutions to diff problems (app speed vs dev speed)

I assume @cmuratori is arguing you can have both at the same time? I look forward to his vid series.

But, with a typical web app how important is code optimisation? 👇

A brilliant inaugural conference last year, the best I've been to in ages.

It'll be even better this year, especially if you submit a a talk 😀

For new presenters, speaker workshops are being organised. Some of the best talks last year were from people who'd never talked before

ChatGPT's been in the news a lot recently, with some even claiming it will allow 1 developer do the work of 10. @jasongorman spends an hour with GPT-4 test-driving code for a real-world problem and sorts the reality from the hype. https://youtu.be/Oy-NvZFi8Wk

OpenAI may have tested GPT-4 on the training data: we found slam-dunk evidence that it memorizes coding problems that it's seen. Besides, exams don't tell us about real-world utility: It’s not like a lawyer’s job is to answer bar exam questions all day. https://aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/gpt-4-and-professional-benchmarks
