This is a thought provoking, bite sized little piece that boils down to, "don't give feedback on EVERYTHING, because not everything matters! give feedback on things that have impact."

I think it's a *great* exercise for the feedback-giver to think through the impact they want their advice to have.

Authentication is part of web security - and as such it can be intimidating.

All these attack scenarios, secrets, encryption layers, protocols, mitigations and rules.

Luckily, James Mickens summarized all we need to know in his classic paper "This World of Ours":

There are two problem-solving approaches:

1) identify a problem that you want to solve, then find a method that will solve it
or
2) pick a method you want to use, and go hunting for problems.

The second way is the stupid way, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it's the default method in tech.

If someone tells you that coding with LLMs is easy they are (probably unintentionally) misleading you. They may well have stumbled on to patterns that work, but those patterns do not come naturally to everyone. I’ve been getting great results out of LLMs for code for over two years now. Here’s my attempt at transferring some of that experience and intution to you. Set reasonable expectations Account for training cut-off dates Context is king Ask them for options Tell them exactly what to do You have to test what it writes! Remember it’s a conversation Use tools that can run the code for you Vibe-coding is a great way to learn A detailed example Be ready for the human to take over The biggest advantage is speed of development LLMs amplify existing expertise Bonus: answering questions about codebases

Here's the table of contents for my lengthy new piece on how I use LLMs to help me write code simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/...
