The Couloir
Carving clean lines of code. Riding down a narrow path in the tech industry—or am I climbing?
Rise of the half-dev

This article from about six month ago hurted my feelings a bit more than I cared to admit. Mind you, I am a bootcamper and despite having no illusions on the failure rate of those, I still owed it a good part of my career switch. So hearing it was
Slowly drowning in slop
At my day job, I've reach a state of our codebase and issue tracking that I can come on Monday, asked my agents /brun-backlog and will do a dozen merge
At my day job, I've reach a state of our codebase and issue tracking that I can come on Monday, asked my agents /brun-backlog and will do a dozen merge request in the morning. Most of it is the code I would have wanted, if not better and with a
Parallels: from simulations to LLM coding
I've been tinkering with making website since I had an internet connexion, but I switched to full-time dev only recently. Before that I was more on track to do computations
I've been tinkering with making website since I had an internet connexion, but I switched to full-time dev only recently. Before that I was more on track to do computations in civil, thermal and energy engineering. I was studying and doing research in the early 2000's, exactly when computer simulations

My timeline has something a bit nostalgic, to say the least. Old-timers rave about the days of reading niche blogs, finding strange communities, surfing from obscure link to obscure link

The one question that made me turn down a job offer

Last month, I went through a full interview process for a tech lead role. It went well — I liked the team and product, and they seemed to like me — until the very last minute in the CTO interview. One question completely threw me off balance: I was so
