Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CCATP #836 — Jane Jordan on Blind Programming and Knitting
Q: How do you handle errors in code the way you handle an error in a pattern while knitting?
She describes breaking and fixing code with AI, comparing divergences in patterns to drops stitches, and how committing changes in Git helps revert to a known good state when things go wrong.
CCATP #836 — Jane Jordan on Blind Programming and Knitting
Q: Can you start by telling us what you were saying when you were talking about knitting and programming being similar?
She explains that switching between coding and knitting helps her brain process differently, with the AI helping format code while she follows tangible patterns in yarn and braille displays, making it easier to learn and fix problems.
CCATP #832 — Ron Burch on Replacing Tesla Model S Battery
Q: Did the new battery affect performance or charging speed, and how significant were the changes?
Charging speed improved dramatically at Superchargers, jumping from about 40 kW with the old battery to around 150 kW with the new battery, effectively reducing charging time on long trips, while overall acceleration changes were not dramatic due to the trade-off with increased weight.
CCATP #832 — Ron Burch on Replacing Tesla Model S Battery
Q: What were the cost options for replacing the battery, and which option did you choose?
There were two main options: a reconditioned battery pack with parts and labor around $16,000-$18,000, or a brand-new battery pack around $18,000, plus roughly $1,000 for the structural upgrade; the guest chose the reconditioned path with the lower total expense.
CCATP #832 — Ron Burch on Replacing Tesla Model S Battery
Q: How long did the battery replacement take, and what was involved in the process?
The car was dropped off at the end of a workday, technicians started at 7 a.m., and the work was completed by 4 p.m. the same day, with the battery upgrade accompanied by a couple of parallel maintenance tasks and a required structural upgrade as part of the swap.
