@thdxr I was just trying to figure out how to get opencode to use my browser (eg for filling up tedious webforms). Made some progress with chrome dev tools mcp. But it should be much more streamlined. Can we please? @thdxr
Java is fat, man.
I don’t even consider Java developers as real engineers.
C++ forces you to understand what the machine is actually doing
memory layout, allocations, cache locality, branches, data movement, syscalls, synchronization, and CPU instructions which is what real
One of the worst decisions you can make for DSA is choosing C++. Java developers can strengthen their syntax and use Java for backend development, while with C++, you’re kind of stuck with competitive programming.
Java can be used for app development and in many other areas, but
LLMs are not replacement for calculators. You'd need a real static analysis engine for accurate deep analyses. Sure, could ask agents to run it for you and triage the results
Canada’s brain drain is brutal. I can count 15 founders I know personally who left. (per @UWaterloo researchers, it’s specifically the top percentile of students that leave).
No one is asking me for a solution, to be clear, but I have one suggestion.
The simple, obvious, Canada-must-change this immediately: uncompetitive marginal tax rates.
Many Canadians don’t realize that Canada asks high earners and founders to pay top marginal rates at much lower income levels than even the highest-tax U.S. jurisdictions like NYC or California.
The top marginal tax rates in Canada are above 50% in Ontario (53.5%), Quebec (53.3%), and BC (53.5%), with Alberta slightly below (48%).
Meanwhile, even in the highest tax jurisdictions of California and NYC, the top marginal tax rate sits lower at 50.3%, and 52%, respectively.
But it gets worse. Much worse.
These high marginal rates in the U.S. hit at commensurately high levels of income ($25M in NYC, $1M in Cali).
Canada’s highest marginal rate? That started at the highest federal income threshold of $218K for the 2025 tax year.
$218K!!!??? (In CAD too. Thats about $157K in USD).
That means the marginal tax rate for similarly-earning Americans in the highest-tax jurisdictions like California and NYC is actually around 45%.
So Canadians pay significantly higher tax rates at lower levels of income.
And it’s not close, even when compared to the highest-tax U.S. jurisdictions (which themselves are losing hundreds of thousands of builders).
It’s obviously more nuanced than just tax, but this is one way to start solving this problem.
Let the brightest, hardest-working and highest-earning Canadians keep more of what they earn.

this should be a five alarm fire for policymakers in canada
517 american companies started by canadians. $414 billion raised. almost 9 in 10 of them went to school in canada
incredibly, 216 of these founders went to waterloo…. and half of these companies were started in the
I still look at Assembly as part of my daily job.
I have trust issues.
I don’t trust the compiler. I don’t trust the tooling that configured the compiler options. I don’t trust my understanding of the compiler.
Assembly is the ultimate truth.
