Really nice move, just speed and simplicity.

Those who’ve worked at scale know simplicity is brutally hard — but those who stop pushing for it altogether have failed their responsibility.

I disagree with you, as it seems you tend to prioritize graphic design while overlooking other important aspects. Personally, I find this idea alone to be very creative. Isn't a great designer someone who weaves together countless medi

I think we should better differentiate between HACK and NOTE from TODOs.

I like it, and I once thought about this as well: > Python doesn't require a requirements.txt file, but if you don't maintain this file, or neglect to provide one, it could result in broken functionalities - an unfortunate circ

As far as I can tell, "API" and the webpages often have different authentication methods.

It is still "prompting".

Now that I know, I’ll never attempt using this fancy app.

I can imagine that those who prefer a hands-on approach might spend more time understanding the problem, as they need to read through the code and debug to identify what is wrong.

It depends. For small tasks like summarization or self-contained code snippets, it’s really good—like figuring out how to inspect a binary executable on Linux, or designing a ranking algorithm for different search patterns. If you only want

The long screen time is the main cause. The perfect glasses, light, or monitors might make you feel better in the short term, but the same environment and low activity might still lead to eye strain. I have been struggling with eye strain f

> Distributed locking is still really hard for some reason I think distributed locking is hard because it only offers certain properties and requires that the application work together to achieve consistency, just like what you said abou

I’m sick of Go modules, and now they want to pile the mess even higher.

I don't wear any glasses, but I still suffer from eye strain, especially from when I started my software engineering work years ago. I have also tried a lot of devices and medicines, but working long hours is just not good, and taking

Go's error handling is not explicit because error is an interface. So, a nil MyError is not the same as a nil error, and error comparison is inconvenient because the interface constraints are so loose that people often resort to checki

Swift still lacks some concurrency features, even with Swift 6, but it's nice to see that atomic operations have finally been added. Besides that, I often encounter an error without knowing why: 'Failed to produce diagnostic for e

I have to disagree; average is not a good way to measure. I have written approximately 6,000 lines of code (including empty lines but excluding some generated code) over the past few weeks. Yes, I write design documents before coding, and m

Verification comes with an additional cost. This makes me wonder: if we can verify, why use a LLM at all? An LLM might even cost more.

Swift doesn't have explicit namespaces, which is a real inconvenience.

I am the author of pigar[1], and I am using Go a lot, Go has its problems too, but I am a fan of `import "url"` style import statement, developers can write code first, and sync the dependency later with `go mod tidy`. To fix prob
