Tell me, what’s in the world is unfixable?

You will take some time to think and the answers that you come up with are the things that happens very rarely in the world. The list might contain death, passed time, environmental extinctions, entropy, etc.

I bet the list isn’t that huge and that’s what the point I’m trying to make here.

If the list is this small that means you can do things dude!

Whenever I work on things, I use to fear that what if I hit a dead end and there is no going back from there. It’s just a feeling and far from the reality. I am a software developer, I can rarely work on things that’s not fixable. The systems that we work on are infinitely malluable. That’s why tinkering and hacking is so fun. It feels like a game but it can become a reality as well. Take Apple for example, it was Wozniak’s project that has become world’s one of the most valuable company.

There are a few reasons why something feels unfixable. One reasons is I fear facing criticism that something that I create sucks.

You can spend your times on things that might not work out well for you. In this case time is a scares resources.

If you don’t have agency, start building and stop consuming less.

If you can build personal relationship with someone capable and help them convince your vision together as a team you can do that’s unthinkable. You two (or many) don’t even know what you can create if you keep open mind. I believe that you can create highly creative and inspiring things.

The story of Apple also brings one important epiphany. You need to learn to sell your idea to make it big. I don’t know about magic tricks but creating urgency out of thin air is fascinating. In order to do this you need to show people what they can’t see. This is why storytelling is important. Remember the phase “show, never tell”?

Claude and ChatGPT have thinking efforts where you can tune the amount of thinking allowed.

Like low, medium, high, xhigh and so on.

But are they different models underneath? Or same model with different parameter?

The reason I ask is because, if I change the effort param mid conversation in Claude code, I get a warning suggesting I’m breaking the cache.

I don’t think this happens in Codex because when I change the effort, the responses are still quick.

The cost of training is coming down.

We have incredible open source models (especially smaller ones) like qwen 3.6-27b.

Imagine the more niche languages/frameworks getting a model rebuilt for them: zig, haskell, elixir/ash, f#, IHP, jetzig, etc.

I could imagine that there would be tremendous value in a language + framework model like: zig + jetzig that is explicitly trained on the materials and best practices for these.

Which begs the question - at what point does it make sense to make a model specifically for narrower and narrower contexts. How much faster/better could they become?
