Yes... But I think this only tells half of the story. What if you pass a reference and mutate the object inside the function?

I don't know. What's the tl;dr here? "I'm one of the last few who needed convincing, now listen to my thoughts on what's next!"

because JSON is in the following sense "universal": every format/structure that has numbers, strings, booleans, null/none, finite lists of items, and string-indexed records of items already contains JSON and that's

fancy words; it's true, though ~ i think it was clear from the moment LLMs entered the scene that (if) one day they would be able to write code ~ then the real challenge would be to integrate the output into our organizations ~ and thi

There's a language for it (LaTeX). It looks like this: \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2}\,dx = \sqrt{\pi}

It makes sense for multiplayer FPS since it gives you more room to have one key per weapon. My quake 3 bindings where roughly: Mouse wheel down - Rocket Launcher Mouse Wheel up - Plasma Gun Q - Shotgun W - Lightning Gun ... This lets you sw

I think one of the watershed developments will be fast models. Imagine current frontier models at 20k tokens/second.

Yes - I think .env files are not a good idea (works for one person but even then it's not great)

Ask for a walkthrough of the highlights (with '...' omissions so that the most important parts are quickly visible) instead of a verbal summary.

nah thanks; my workflow: - ask not only for a solution to a problem but also for specific code (= tell the agent about your mental model of the codebase) - ask for small stacked 'PRs/branches' and review/refactor heavil

Isn't startup culture a bit like bumfights? Rich people using their financial prowess to subjugate others who are in a much weaker position in order to let them engage in unhinged behavior for their amusement and benefit.
