I'm working on what I'm envisioning will be the one-stop shop of showing things to your TVs/screens. Whether that's slide decks, dashboards, games, and whatever you can imagine. For a quick demo, just scan the QR code in

Working on things like these are what makes me believe that AI can't replace software developers yet. Not sure if they'll get there, but i don't see it coming anytime soon.

I do agree with that. I wouldn't say I really really know them either. I know enough to sound competent and be relied upon, and then I can google them to remind myself of the details.

I love AI but one thing that is a bummer is: Skills that used to be straightforward but people generally never took the time to learn are now trivial with AI. Things like regex and CSS are not that hard if you take some time to study them.

This is exactly it. I'm pretty sure I found Iroh after thinking: can we ship Tailscale with our app? For environments where you want people to access your local instance, I believe Iroh will be a game changer. For us, it's to allo

In this case, I wouldn't mind if they used AI or not. Honestly it'd be quite interesting to find someone who doesn't use it to hear about why. At the end of the day, I'm more concerned about how effective they'd be

I guess that's the point though? If their opinion only comes from common popular opinions, then that signal is quite useless to me. In this case though, I'll admit that it would be a negative signal if they never tried it even onc

Not OP also but it typically signals that you're not confident with your answers. If I am actually curious about it, I'd ask a followup question for them to expand.

It's funny cause I just interviewed some people last month and I asked the same exact question. And the answer to your question is probably. The technology is so new that I expect people to have a variety of different opinions. From th

Not a game dev but I used to dabble in it. Quite surprised by this take honestly. Sure, each domain has its own complex things to solve. But on average, I think it's quite safe to say that game development consistently demands more cre

Same here. Went back to 4.5 and was happy I did it. The only frustration was that I can tell the model has declined compared to the first few weeks it was released. I also recently moved to 4.6 since I started hitting the context limit too

I think it's just like reading a book. Will you get more context & understanding if you write the book? You most probably will. But that doesn't mean that you don't get anything just by reading it. And if you already know

Congrats to the team for the launch! I helped build a part of this in the past. The repo is complex but at its core, this is software to record execution without the performance & storage penalty that would usually come with recording a

Personally i think the challenge of testing never really changed with AI. You need to know what you want to specifically test before writing/vibe coidng with it. Otherwise it'll just manufacture tests that always passes and are of

Looking great. I'll give it a try later on once things stabilize a bit. In the meantime, does anyone know what's going on in this space? Seems to me like a lot is changing over the past year. Eg: react-player new version, taken o

Pretty sure they're the same thing. The second link is on how to use swc with nestjs.

While this is true in many places, i believe it is also quite untrue in many more. For example where I live, it was snowing last week. Quite cold but you can't tell csuse the snow already disappeared by the morning. And then suddenly i

Others have mentioned why. But I also want to add that feeling the temperature over the window might not tell an accurate picture of how cold/hot it could feel over time. I've had instances where I dressed for how cold it felt, on

I see where you're coming at. But don't underestimate the amount of design work that goes into making a good chair. It probably took more time than your think, which transforms them into the person who can craft the chair

For me what supports this are things outside of software. If a company or regime wants to build something, they can't just say what they want and get exactly what they envision. If human minds can't figure out what other human wan

I do agree that the scale has expanded a lot. But this is true with any other fields. Does that mean that you need to learn everything? Well at some point it becomes unfeasible. See doctors for example, you learn a bit of everything. But th

I use pay as you go for this very reason, so the limit is my pocket haha. It does make me conscious to keep it under $20 per month though.

For most of my AI uses, I already have an implementation in mind. The prompt is small enough that most of the time, the agent would get it 90% there. In a way, it's basically an advanced autocomplete. I think this is quite nice cause i

I saw this from another post and was going to try it out but lost the link. Thanks for posting here again! Will try it out next time when I have a group of people around
