Oh not only to the stdlib but to any lib! I thought that was crazy when you mentioned it but after reading the post I agree it’s a pragmatic approach. By the way Java does the same! The problem can be avoided by avoiding “star imports” in b

Bs. Musicians are almost all using AI, even if they still prefer to not fully generate tracks [1]. You listen to AI assisted music already even if you don’t realize it. Most people are using AI and mostly they respond positively to it [2].

I mostly do this in Dart (though even Dart also has sync IO, it’s just not supposed to be used often), but yeah other languages may not have this benefit.

I actually do enjoy writing code , it’s like a puzzle to be solved and I get a hit every time I solve it. But after we started generating all code with AI at work, I feel very inefficient writing code by hand on my hobby projects. I still d

Got that too... but on JS's defence, I think the JS behavior is the most "natural" unless you've been trained on the other approaches (where explicitly awaiting is required for anything to actually happen). Dart and Kotl

This is often brought up as if it were a problem, but I see async functions as something similar to IO in Haskell. Almost all asynchronous functions I write are asynchronous because they will do IO of some sort. Async functions end up being

Great comment. I don’t do everything you say but still get very high quality code out of Opus 5 with Claude. Fable 5 can be even better but I haven’t proven it enough to be confident yet. It may get off the rail if you’re a bit ambiguous ab

As the author, I have been using worktrees due to AI agents. And I love Magit but didn’t know it handles git worktrees so well! Thanks for letting me know, will start using magit to manage my worktrees immediately.

They just need to leave a tiny gap around the plane the Earth follows around the Sun to avoid killing us. That would cost very little for them to do.

Where’s the contradiction?? X can be just Y, and X can be much more than Y. No contradiction, just an observation that you can use it one way or another.

What makes you think it will take a long time? AI seems capable of imitating any writing style if prompted to do so already, and I think it will get better on this quickly since the AI writing style is a main focus of AI labs right now. I c

If you get an AI to review the code especially for security, it does a very good job st finding issues. Better than any human reviewers I have worked with, and getting better. As someone who works in security , I feel much less worried abou

Global warming is much faster in the higher latitudes. It has not significantly impacted the region you mentioned much at all. Most impact has been due to intensification of natural cycles like the Indian Monsoons, the Atlantic hurricane se

Good news then: most of the world already has a decreasing population or about to start decreasing. Only exception being Africa.

The global repository should support versions obviously.

Yeah people saying that only humans have comprehension clearly are not familiar with philosophy even at a basic level. It’s ok to not know something. See the Critique section of the “I think therefore I am” article on Wikipedia to learn abo

You don’t know dried cod is extremely popular in many parts of the world? They seem to know that exactly.

A century? I guess you mean all of human history to develop.

I was so lucky! One lived to 35 in the Paris basin a few thousand years ago, the other lived to 25 in China, died in 1945. Both were married and left living children!

I know that and I am sorry if I offended anyone (would be wild to meet a real Amish here!), but that was the only example I could find that met approximately the behavior of the OP. I thought about ludites as well but that was worse still.

You are disconnected from reality. The whole industry is already completely dominated by LLMs generating code. Bury your head in the sand all you want. This is not about low expectations or inexperience at all. Your condescending tone doesn

Why should we believe someone who was so extraordinarily wrong about no-code before?

This is one talk that is worth the 3 hours (the talk is 2 hours, plus a qa with none other than Ginger Bill of Odin fame)!

I am currently on an obsessive coding spree on my side projects where I only use AI to ask questions like I used to do on Stack Overflow. At work it’s nearly 100% AI because quite honestly the AI is more thorough and faster than humanly pos

There were 2 typos in that sentence (the one I didn’t mention is “fully” instead of “full”). Talking about intelligence in such a sloppy manner sounded like a joke to me.

> The world is fully of people who's intelligence What an example of a sentence a person *whose intelligence is lower than you might expect would write. I can only imagine this was intentional.

You probably never had developers working for you. First, if you don’t give them a deadline they will work on it for months trying to get it perfect, but it will still be buggy and do the wrong thing unless you keep very close attention. Se

For anything you do, no matter how novel and difficult, someone on HN will tell you it’s trivial and done since the 70s.

Exactly. Why are people looking for problems here?? There isn’t any. There wasn’t 100s of PRs so why are you so worried about that?? Stop assuming there will be unless you stop even the useful ones.
