I think it's because not many know how to measure it properly. I can output 5 useless/bad features in a day with Claude or I can output 1 useful feature per 2 day period. Which one has better impact on ROI? In this example, it mig

> planning every last detail before writing code is boring Not only that but you can't really plan everything. It is impossible. Without LLMs, with every line of code you are making a decision or discovering something new that must

> Within reason Reason dictates having redundancy in place. Having prepared scenarios for what to do. A lot of countries clearly don't have that and they are operating on the assumption that no major disruption is going to happen. D

I recently built a home server and used Noctua fans for the first time. I absolutely love how quiet they are. If I didn't know the room had my server in it and was running, I wouldn't even notice the very quiet sound of the fans.

This is the first thing I read this morning and I'm not even a dad yet (or maybe never). I miss this side of HN nowadays.

For me, almost every single time a conversation like this happens in real life it boils down to the one side claiming that "This is the future" and "Don't get left behind" followed by a torrent of hype and buzzwords

Please read the article. > The WSJ report added that the rule is expected to make quarterly reporting optional and not eliminate it altogether. So companies can still do their quarterly reporting if they and their investors want that.

English is my 3rd language. I still disagree with using an LLM to write on one's behalf. I either get to read your thoughts in your voice or the comment is getting a downvote/flag.

One thing not mentioned here is the Photos app. Out of the box, it is the default way to view images on Windows. That app is so bloated and slow to start that Microsoft announced they were going to preload it as well so it "starts&quot

Using React in core parts of the Windows Shell, Microsof's inability to design and release an application using non-web technologies, and the sluggishness and lagginess and bloat of Windows in general has finally pushed me to dual boot

My personal blog that I write in every now and then: https://blog.mrcsharp.dev Mostly dev-related topics but I'm trying to write about more than just that. And btw, this is a brilliant idea. I've already found 2 sites

Chill out buddy. You're going to pop a vein here. A typical backend developer using C#/Java is likely solving more complicated problems and having all the concerns of an enterprise system to worry about and maintain. Dismissing a

> Nobody cares about this And that was my point. The choice of using JS/TS for LLM stuff was made for us based on initial wave of SDK availabilities. Nothing to do with language merits.

C# has AOT compilation producing native, single file assemblies. A bit behind on this compared to Go, but it's there.

Sadly, this will be the trend with things moving forward. JS is perceived as a good language and LLMs are meant to make them even easier to write. It is not about the mertis of a language. It's about which languages LLMs are "good

That doesn't make sense either. Agents already have access to MCPs and Tools. Your example is solved by having an S3 wrapper as a set of tools.

Bad analogy I think. A table is a table. It has one core function. An argument can be made that it could be built in a way that a chair can't be pushed against it for example. But the number of such cases for a table are infinitely sma

Would the question still be about measuring the drop in quality to prove that the product (the software in this case) is in breach of the law?

It doesn't need to. The author is voicing their opinion on the matter and is not attempting to conduct a scientific study and that is perfectly acceptable.
