One thing I see is design often getting worse, tasteless, how small but important details are just not thought out.

> I regularly see people claim that they are now 10x more productive with LLM code generation, and I just wonder where all the code is. Perhaps the biggest issue hasn't been the speed of development all along but people working on w

There are already plenty of SaaS that offer open source version as a way to push to the cloud and charge for hosting, maintenance, support and some extra features. In that way, a working code have already been commoditized and those compani

This. First I try it just a little to do a boring part. It feels great. The boring part that was holding me is gone and all it took was a little instruction. The dopamine hit is real. So of course I will try it again. But not so fast. It ne

I had to use Borland when studying but never really liked it. Later I tried Notepad+ with console for the first time and everything clicked. There is a console for compiling and running and there is a text editor for editing. It was the flo

Database is one of those places where it's justified, I think. Application containers do not need the same level of care hence are easy to run yourself.

Just curious, what libraries did you miss in particular compared to Go?

Not sure about windows but I solved it for myself with basic provisioning script (could be an ansible playbook also) that installs everything on a fresh linux vm in a few minutes. For macos, there is tart vm that works well with arm64 (very

With such constraints, it should also be possible to compile it into a native binary, and then it is very similar Crystal.

Sadly, the typography looks too neglected for the time when there is such an abundance of templates and fonts.

Sounds like social coaching has all the attributes of an untapped business niche. The question is, if there is just a obvious pain, why there is such a shortage of solutions. I think it could be because of the stigma associated with this is

I think it needs to know every conversation that happened in the company to provide meaningful feedback that is above generic coding suggestions. But then it makes onboarding new people and getting them familiar with the project much easier

So they lie about estimates because they afraid to miss their chance to delivery buggy mess. But doesn't it do more harm to the reputation in the long term?

Trying Gleam that also runs on Erlang VM but has static types, a fast compiler with Rust-style elaborate error messages made me hopeful about how much nicer this experience can be when static types are added to Elixir too.

Exactly. It doesn't need extra buttons in the UI, it needs a giant context window to contain all the important info about your life or a business and the tools for gathering and maintaining that context. Then merely saying that you are

This is my thinking too, yet for some reason, 90% of job desciptions insist the candidate has N years of experience with M stack. As if someone who was building websites with Rails for 10 years is somehow not qualified for building the same

There should be a standard way for all browsers to tell sites whether they accept cookies or not. There is no reason every user should deal with this banner manually for all sites.

Nice suggestion. I really don't want to create a habit of talking in a dry and somewhat commanding manner and have it slip into regular life.

I think it's possible that in the end, AI will make everyone wealthier nevertheless. Just like people today posses the level of conveniences unimaginable to the elites of the past, in the form of smartphones, global delivery, cheap fli

As someone who considered giving up on programming due to wrist pain from typing, this is my dream as well. I also prefer to work independently or in small teams, and the amount of things that could be tackled this way is surely increasing.

I see limited context and the lack of sandbox dev environment is the main obstacle on way to have more sophisticated usage and faster feedback loop. The value would be greater if it could know everything about the code base, business requir

They do help with promotion by giving "top rated" and "raising talent" badges and work history. Hard to say how much value and leverage it really gives and whether it worths all the downsides.

I wonder if the lack of libraries in a new language is just a few ChatGPT-integrations away. After all, Crystal is so similar to Ruby. I bet as soon as context/environment aware ChatGPT tools/agents that can compile / run tes

Next realisation: publishing ChatGPT generated content became useless because people use ChatGPT instead of search.

Writing code is one thing, owning it and having responsibility is another. But can we build tooling for this to on top of LLMs too? This won't happen overnight but it will certainly happen gradually, I don't see why not. By owning

Imagine the world where everything is fully automated. You arrive at a city, order a self-driving taxi, do a self-check-in at the hotel that is managed by robots, order a food that is cooked by robots, using ingredients delivered by robots,
