Americans perplex me (and I am one) we live in the most capitalist focused economy in the world and yet everyone acts that they are guaranteed a job. Sorry, but even in "socialist countries" in Europe / rest of world this is

What about those two vs. the concept of "software engineering"? - there, the "code" or "program" is even _less_ important, just a tool in an ecosystem where you are asking bigger questions like "is this ma

You seem like you know what you are talking about... mind if I ask what your thoughts on quantization are? Its unclear to me if quantization affects quality... I feel like I've heard yes and no arguments

I'm building a full event sourcing framework for the IDE to help software creators (myself included) create educational software courses and lessons 100x faster! Hoping to launch the full product by summer: https://codevideo

Congrats guys! Back in the spring of last year I did an initial spike investigating tools that could evaluate the accuracy of responses in our RAG queries where I work. We used your services (tests and test dashboard) as a little demo.

Baffling. If you're seriously saying package management for python "just works" and for go "always breaks"... I guess your either a troll, or you've never written production software. And I'm not talking s

Probably if you are fond of C# you wont like Go. I've always found C# incredibly verbose and full of all sorts of syntax sugar (that they add to yearly) making code everywhere look different, just enough to add a little cognitive overh

I've always thought on the contrary that "code smell" refers much more to the patterns used and not so much how it was formatted. Anyway, choosing a language that has automatic formatting (Go for example) renders about 80% of

I agree with what is discussed in this post a lot. Chat is indeed a lossy and at best q/a style system. Yes, of course it can be tweaked and hacked but it's ultimately the wrong UI if you want to leverage the most of AI for code.

So are you saying you would take on the initial cognitive load of Rust vs. Go for _every_ project?

I have no doubt open source will catch up (it already has, eh?) at the end of the day, it's just creative / new iterations on what is ultimately the transformer architecture... the amount of "secret" moat-like stuff that

So the conclusion is AI is about to "increase in abilities at an exponential rate", with the only data point being that R1 was sucessfully able to acheive o1 levels as an open source model? In other words, two extremely unrelated

Nitpick here: both models are still SaaS, the only difference is the first way was deployed via (desktop?) app and the second via web. But indeed, web is typically the most flexible option unless you are leveraging something on the OS that

I recommend you look at tools like Aider or Codebuff... sure they need to call some LLM at some point (could be your own, could be external), but the key thing that they are doing complex modifications of source code using things like trees

But their _are_ some people who care. I've been busting my ass in the software world for over 10 years, documenting it as I go. Largely everything I give away for free, or at the very least offer a free tier. I cant control what other

Sure but think of the Higgs... how long that took for just _one_ particle. You think an AGI, or even an ASI is going to make an experimental effort like that go any bit faster? Dream on! It astounds me that people dont realize how much of t

Exactly. I continually fail to see how "the entire human economy ends" overnight with another human like agent out there - especially if its confined to a server in the first place - it can't even "go home" :)

Don't wanna be that typical hackernews guy but I couldnt resist... if your app is "quite complex" there is probably a way or ways you can break it down into much simpler parts. Easier for you AND the LLM. It always comes back

Fantastic post already by the first example. Meanwhile I can think of big brain developers who have laughed at me "because you assigned to a variable what you use once"... good luck with your career This post is like an examplifie
