Ep82: AI and Code Generation + Code Reviews in a Changing Landscape

What this episode covers

Recap of my week, with several different topics where I expanded my knowledge or surfaced some recurring patterns in my efforts. Highlights: Repeated prompt iteration can cause LLMs to get stuck in unhelpful loops or produce slightly different code on reruns. Restoring to a checkpoint helps reset context and regenerate cleaner output. A personal AI workflow shortcut: using chat models to brain dump and organize ideas into structure before writing. Pet projects. Alongside expanding a Goodreads project, there's a potential new personal improvement app idea Other tasks: session review for NODES conference, upcoming refresh work on a Knowledge Graph e-book, and plans for short-form video content. Article: “Read Less, Steer More” by Ezyang on mentoring code reading, using LLMs to explain code, avoiding auto-accept edits, and writing code by hand when learning fundamentals.
