ssh terminal.shop CHECK OUT THEIR NEW PODCAST ON CASEY'S YOUTUBE: @MollyRocket AI researcher Dimitri joins the show to talk about the real impact of AI on software engineering.

Writing this from Iran. There is war, the internet is mostly cut off, and I barely managed to connect. If you are reading this in peace, please don't take it for granted. Being a programmer in Iran has always been a struggle. Please enjoy your life and your peace.♥

Something that Prime (or whoever runs his channel) desperately needs to improve on is providing links and sources in the description. Link to Casey's channel, link to the podcast, link to everyone's social media. It's particularly bad on reaction videos to not provide a link to the video being reacted to.

The podcast is called "Wading through AI" from what I googled.

Slowing down once in a while is a classical rhetorical trick. Not having a buffer under-run twice a second.

One problem with talking about token cost, is the number of tokens needed to carry out a task keeps going up.
