A comprehensive guide to mastering the art of full-stack development. Learn timeless software design principles for maintainable code.
Your guide to building maintainable software in a post-LLM world. AI can generate code faster than ever before. It can write functions, refactor modules, and scaffold entire applications in seconds. But this is code you still need to understand, maintain, extend, and fix at 3 AM in the morning if it breaks. You need to know what good code looks like and be able to recognize it when you see it. LLMs can produce volume. They can't produce judgment. They don't know when an abstraction is overkill, when a pattern is misapplied, or when simplicity beats cleverness. That's your job now. The developers who will thrive are those who can look at AI-generated code and instantly tell: "This is…from fullstacktao.com

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord.

i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
