LAMP with dynamic webpages (I assume your approach) works just like it ever did (besides SSL) But are you really keen to make a PHP dynamic webpage application where each page imports some database function/credentials and uses them to

Yeah, you are very right. If you start peaking success, you realize that while your happy path may work for 70% of real cases, it's not really optimal to convert for most of them. Sentry helps a lot, you see session replay, you get exc

I would say I wouldn't agree, but maybe our language in common is why we don't agree - for example, the idea that coffee is 80% takeaway... this global report puts it at 65% in cafe. My experience in most of europe is about 75% in

I totally agree with your suggestion for ordering, self-reporting the success and the "if x then imagine y!" you discuss and I get you didn't ask for criticism, but in your last example - the value of coffee to you might not

As you age your interests and curiosity change, in ways you often don't see until later. Very common in computer science contexts. Young undergraduates always pick up the new tech and make something that seems alien and wrong first. It

I think you're right. About 20-30% of product hunt products were AI in late 2022 for example, but very few of them then used .ai.

> your perspectives 90% gravity / 90% done is a bad perspective. You don't really have data on how long the false positives would have taken to succeed. Unfortunately, getting from 0 to $100 in revenue isn't always much ha

100%. Dealing with 5 year old code is okay now. In 10 years it will cause you pain. It's like going back to an ex after you lose attraction. It never works out and hurts both parties (in this case your users, because you won't mai

Good advice and beware the difference between docker export (which will fail if you lack enough storage, since it saves volumes) and docker save. Running the wrong command might knock out your only running docker server into an unrecoverabl

What's your patient/flexible technique? Let me know. And you are not a liar - but your claim isn't true at all in Europe - see increased per-flight legislated fees and the loss of budget airlines. Price of flights between 2 d

Single also differs from being in a childless couple e.g. in your early 20s. To get on the ladder today, 5 years sharing rent is priceless. Then once you do, you get child benefits. Many people are single late in life too. So I don't t

This is part of why France lost status for large events and organisations in the early-mid 20th Century until now. Quite large political swings at regular intervals and fairly ready-to-protest population = not ideal for basing stability. An

So that adaptive system sounds really cool and useful for those bursts of formative assessment. And if the baseline is 100% boring textbook reading, ofcourse that is better. But if they work 9-5 every day, why don't schools do that at

> Research shows low-stakes assessment is when the moment of learning often happens Okay, but psychology research like this needs to be taken with context on long term behavior. Is this advice practical? No, not in this case. The problem

Can I engage you on this as someone who once shared your view? Not to say I believe my view is better now, but maybe you can learn from my experiences. Not everyone has this reaction, because what they have been exposed to shapes how that c

That's a real difference when something is your final responsibility too (as team lead or an architect). You think of it differently, you predict and anticipate changes better. It's like taking care of your kid vs your kids friend

People matter, you need to be communicating to keep communicating up, not get stuck repeating yourself and losing your soul. It keeps accountability up. You need diversity in your team, even though that has costs and friction. You need expe

Well inability to own a house was a major prelude to the 1930s economic and later conflict issues, particularly in western Europe (where it was more expensive in places like Britain to buy a house than even today, about 10-14x salary vs 8x

Thank you to author for pointing out some negatives here. The 5th version made two "non-error", but ergonomic changes, for the sake of larger code bases and standard formats over quick, yet reliable, reactive and testable code (wh

I do not know how FastHTML works with AI, but for the recent Svelte 5, which has a similar llms.txt file, it's clear to me that actual usage patterns are required over explanatory llms.txt content with instructions. In Svelte 5 usage,

I agree with this though it's only relevant beyond newbie periods. PTs won't talk about it since it's not motivating, which makes sense. During a stressed part of life, I slid into staying with the same routine, doing 70% int

Not in genetics, but the kind of cursory neuroscience education that "AI" courses contain often goes no further than a sample cell at one point in the first weeks. I have found that the majority of AI graduates believe each cell c
