Telegram-бот за вечер через Spec Kit: что AI-ассистированная разработка сделала с моим инженерным процессом

Я Java-разработчик: пишу на Java 5 лет. Последний месяц собираю портфолио через Spec-Driven Development — связку Spec Kit и Claude Code. Первый проект — Telegram-бот для задач. С шести вечера до двух ночи одного вторника я прошёл полный SDD-цикл от конституции до MVP с шестью командами. Восемь часов. Один вечер. Рабочий продукт. Но главное — что-то сдвинулось в моём инженерном процессе. Читать далее Read more

People who research every decision exhaustively before acting aren’t thorough — they’re trying to build a guarantee in a world that doesn’t sell them because the last time they trusted their gut without evidence something expensive happened and the body never forgot the bill

The spreadsheets, the endless reviews, the weeks of research before buying a coffee maker — it's not thoroughness, it's your nervous system trying to protect you from a pain that already happened, and it's costing you more than any wrong decision ever could. Read more

Psychology says the most dangerous form of loneliness isn’t being alone. It’s being surrounded by people while performing a version of yourself that none of them would recognize if they saw you at home on a Sunday afternoon.

You have friends. You have dinner plans. Your calendar has things on it. People text you. You show up to gatherings and people seem glad you came. On paper, you’re connected. On paper, you should be fine. And yet there’s this feeling. It shows up at the dinner table, mid-laugh, while everyone around you is ... Read more Read more

I’m in my thirties and I finally understand that the friendships I lost weren’t lost because I changed. They were lost because I stopped performing the version of me that made the relationship possible, and nobody told me that was what had been holding it together

The friendships that faded in my thirties didn't end because I grew apart from anyone. They ended because I stopped performing the agreeable, always-available version of myself that was holding them together, and the psychology of self-disclosure explains why that was always going to happen.

I’m sitting in a cafe on Pasteur Street in District 1 this morning, watching the scooters stitch their way through the intersection, and I’ve just noticed something about the guy at the next table.
