There's still a cost/benefit to building and maintaining a service. LLMs make it easier to build, but the cost does not scale to zero.

The point is that we will still need senior level employees, but the way fresh grads get to that level is generally through entry level positions, experience and mentorship. I don't think we can expect the university system to start pu

This happens regardless of which framework is used or even if no framework is used. Plenty of web developers do not understand how the browser or JS work at a deep level.

How does versioning work? After you fork an HTML app, is there a way to update it and get newer features without manual intervention? I'm thinking about the Kanban board example I saw in the demo video. It looks like column re-ordering

Why do you say "JSX"? JSX is an HTML templating language for JavaScript. templ looks like an HTML templating language for Go. Every popular web backend language has an HTML templating language... so that it can produce HTML - is i

Here's the react-table example app with 112,500 records, just like your example. I am not really seeing much of a performance difference (and this is in dev mode - it would be faster if built for production): https://n9vr4n-

This comparison is disingenuous and off-putting. When I read "a React button" I assume you are talking about `<button>` and the React runtime, not some third party libraries.

But logging in and posting don't seem like "undoable" actions to me. That would be similar to undoing a save or undoing a login to Adobe CC in Photoshop. Things definitely get trickier with network requests, but that can be s

Huh? The average working week in the EU is 37.5 hours a week, or 7.5 hours a day: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/d... Breakfast and lunch are not paid breaks in any EU country

Fair point, but I have seen a lot of shitty software developed with this mantra. Usually because the "iterate" part is forgotten in favor of the next "rapid" development. I agree that the quickest way to learn whether yo

It's important to note that this is only really relevant advice for a specific type of startup that is still trying to rapidly iterate to find product market fit. Personally I find it incredibly annoying to work on and with with produc

I don't. Regardless who posted it, discussion and constructive criticism is warranted in the comments.

I think this is a fair criticism. You chose to share this on hackernews, which invites feedback (including constructive criticism). I don't see the problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Do you expect people to only voice praise for open source projec

Do you think this "MetaWindow" is much more attractive? Here's a similar looking transparent sound barrier in a new building area that is already starting to be covered in graffiti: https://youtu.be/e7-Fd1HOw_

I’d argue that the rich nations have an obligation to find a way to structure a less carbon intensive economy. The global south can benefit from the R&D that the west does. It’s not a forgone conclusion that the only way to grow is by b

Sure, all mega cities have even larger metro areas. I'm not pretending Chicago doesn't have a huge metro area. But my point stands: the European route has much higher catchment than your proposed USA route, even if you include met

by muspimerol 3y ago
Oh if we're talking about metro area population, then the EU route is also significantly higher (for example, Paris goes from 2 million to 13 million). I was just looking at city limits in both cases. Honestly I agree with your sentime

It's only misleading if you disregard the rest of my comment :-) You have identified a part of the USA with a decent density of cities - nice! That is exactly what I think. There are pockets where rail makes sense, and should be built

It's an average, so of course it says nothing about the distribution. I don't find that to be misleading, or at least I did not intend to insinuate that the USA is a perfectly distributed wasteland! It shows that while the EU and

The scale of the country is an excuse in many cases. There are densely populated areas in many parts of the USA, but nearly all of Europe is densely populated. The EU has an average density of 112 people per square km compared to 36 in th

No one is implying that. But companies have to comply with laws in jurisdictions where they operate. OpenAI and other generative AI companies certainly operate in the EU.

Of course, that's my point :-) It is illegal but still exists empirically today, which is one very good reason why salary bands should be public.

"Willingness to work for a given range" gets exploited by employers at the expense of employees. It helps prop up structural (gender/race) pay gaps and breeds distrust among employees as some salaries inevitably leak out.
