the discourse around "code quality" has always attracted the least nuanced minds, ones who see the world and the phenomenon of life as nothing but territory to be divided up by the latest buzzwords. the worst ones insist that we n

i'd use a 2D canvas browser. not sure why anyone would need live multiplayer for their browser, just let them save canvas state to file and share it. that's how it works with Blancs. https://blancs.io

i've learned in two years of unemployed hacking that there is a camp 3: you treat code like an evolving life form, requiring both ingenious introspective craft and utilitarian grit to survive and thrive. a product is a trajectory of so

what do you expect? if you’re “automating” an audit, it already means you don’t care. the LLM is there to blur the calculus of responsibility, take the blame if someone cares enough to look. happy customers, until someone “delves” a little

false dichotomy. neither company will make it. the winner will be some solo dev with a singular vision and ruthless dedication to quality. “teams” do not have visions, individuals do. the more people are involved in a product, the blurrier

i’ve been doing this for a while, you create an extra file for every code file, sketch the code as you currently understand it (mostly function signatures and comments to fill in details), ask the LLM to help identify discrepancies. i call

i’m confused now. if he’s a serial child rapist sending mexican goons into american cities to murder white nurses, does that mean he’s more of a populist, or less? figured i’d check with the expert.

copyright is not “broken,” it was always a two-faced scam designed to protect “owners” at the expense of creators. don’t expect this blatant hypocrisy to kill copyright, either - death of copyright is a slippery slope leading straight to co

in a world where getting 3 people to show up to dinner is a challenge, a coherent, organized group large enough to be visible as a percentage of the population is an exceedingly rare and powerful entity. but history shows that such an entit

if you wanna cheer for fascism, you should do so openly. no one is fooled anymore, and no one will think any higher of you for being in denial about it

nothing lives forever. software comes into life out of necessity, develops complexities, eventually becomes incomprehensible, obsolete and dead. it’s a natural cycle that we should work into the user experience, instead of defining it as a

most web pages are about to be HTML/JS/CSS generated by LLMs directly for users. Truth is, pre-LLM web frameworks were designed for two things: save developer keystrokes and delay the spaghettification of the codebase. We just aut

we’ve been taught to think of programs as sculptures, shaped by the creator to a fixed purpose. with LLMs, the greatest advance isn’t in being able to make larger and more detailed sculptures more quickly; it’s that you can make the sculptu
