You seem to be misunderstanding the premise of the statement. Go write, "print 'foo';" and copy and paste that statement one hundred thousand times. Congratulations, you just wrote one hundred thousand lines of functioni

If, by your definition of understanding, you can understand something without knowing how it works, then what would be the point in understanding it? Your argument underscores the fact that understanding exists on a spectrum and that deep u

What if I told you that understanding what it is doing and finding bugs is actually the same problem?

I think you just made some strong arguments for classifying them as gatekeepers. The idea, like you said, is to make it so that competitors can enter the market and pick up the slack in areas where AWS and Azure are dropping the ball.

In other words, for the primary uses of search things have gotten much worse, but some workarounds still exist.

I would much rather have software that works but lacks accessibility features than software that's broken but also has some broken accessibility features sprinkled in. The former is useful to many people, while the latter is useful to

What makes you say that AI is not going anywhere? I hear this overwhelmingly, "AI is here to stay", as if y'all are so caught up in the movement that you've started taking that conclusion as being the axiom. TBH, it feel

Getting people into coding is both cool and also not specific to AI.

It's clear that the article is mostly talking about the reader's ability to interpret figuratively, regardless of the specific reference. However, I'm not even sure it's a biblical reference, because I think dinosaurs ar

Someone saying they vibe coded a thing is like them saying they were hammered when they wrote it. Maybe they did a great job, but probably not; it's definitely cause for concern.

Unnecessary access isn't a solveable problem. In order to restrict permissions to exactly what a program needs, in general, you'd have to define exactly what a program does. In other words, you'd need to rewrite the program w

My impression was that it's next gen because it's using Rust on WASM as opposed to something that compiles to JavaScript. However, I could be wrong. There's a small semantic difference between "next gen Rust web UI libra

I think that's kind of the point though: AI is the sand, but it's the rocks that hold all of the value; the further you get away from using AI the more real value you obtain. Like, a few of the rocks have gold deposits in them, an

IIRC, you can do git branch -D $(git branch) and git will refuse to delete your current branch. Kind of the lazy way. I never work off of master/main, and usually when I need to look at them I checkout the remote branches instead.

This issue exists with the parsed case, too. If you're using a database to store data, then the lifecycle of that data is in question as soon as it's used outside of a transaction. We know that external systems provide certain gua

I think, more generally, "push effects to the edges" which includes validation effects like reporting errors or crashing the program. If you, hypothetically, kept all of your runtime data in a big blob, but validated its structure

Definition one on Merriam Webster is, "To make into a product suitable for use." This is what I thought you meant, because cost of production is what it costs to forego buying something. IMO, that's the cost you really want t

If the tool is saving you a large chunk of time, then why does it matter what's happening in another industry? We seem to be losing a really simple thread here: Pay for things because they present more value to you than you're giv

I assumed that they meant "cost of production", since that's what you give to keep your money, so that includes 0->1. But if what they meant is what you said then I'd say that the cost of 0->1 is not somehow less i

How do you know that it's actually faster than if you'd just written it yourself? I think the review and iteration part _is_ the work, and the fact that you started from something generated by an LLM doesn't actually speed th
