You can make any software you want now, then why don't you?

Exactly, I absolutely agree that AI supercharges seniors with judgment and conviction. They’re no longer constrained by how fast they can type. But this is about what comes next i.e. seniors of tomorrow If AI gets so good at software that v

Sure you can do it but I think you’ll agree with what I said about ownership. Whenever I ask AI to audit my codebase, it always plays it safe and gives me a few options to choose from. It just won’t give me a concrete answer unless I insist

Agreed. I’m not insinuating that colleges should teach all of these extremely domain-specific things. Most of the stuff would indeed be unnecessary for most students depending on what they do in the future. But that is my original point tha

Precisely my point. But unfortunately companies are rushing to get the features out. No cares if you’re learning and augmenting your own understanding or not.

Stakeholders are not technical enough to understand that so CEOs won’t do it. We are already seeing it play out. Entry-level hiring has been consistently down ever since AI got mainstream.

This all sounds good on paper but I have an honest question: How do you develop judgement as a junior or mid level engineer to critique AI if you yourself never learned that skill by making mistakes in the first place? I’m not saying that a

Writing the blog post took longer than the million line Rust rewrite. That is all someone with a few brain cells needs to understand what’s going on here.

Are you from Pakistan? I have an Alchitry Cu FPGA board for my personal use if you want to borrow it for implementation. Awesome project btw!

I didn't say perfect, I said closest to perfect. Regarding the implicit return types, it's all a matter of taste. I think they're very clean, but Rust is not forcing you to be implicit—you can be explicit if you like. e.g., i

I know I'm biased, but Rust is the closest thing we have to a perfect programming language. Is the borrow checker a pain in the ass? Yeah. But is it necessary? Absolutely. Imagine writing the same buggy program in C, deploying it, and

I see that you're using gemma3n which is a 4B parameter model and utilizes around 3GB RAM. How do you handle loading/offloading the model into the RAM? Or is it always in the memory as long as the app is running?

Can relate. I've also shifted towards generating small snippets of code using LLMs, giving them a glance, and asking to write unit tests for them. And then I review the unit tests carefully. But integrating the snippets together into t

So, this can be solved in at least one and at most two attempts.

I agree with most of what you said. For me though, it's really hard to go to YouTube without wasting at least an hour. That's why I built this app. So far, it's working great for me. I've added my favorite channels into

True. But Watchlist is not just a video aggregator, it’s got many more features like customizable alerts and progress indicators etc. I’m currently working on a feature to let AI determine if a video should be added to a list based on what

Generating playlists is one of the things that Watchlist does. Here are a few more: 1) You can actually set very flexible notification schedules and use a medium of your choice (email, webpush) to receive the notifications about new/un

Thanks for sharing this. This tool is a very small subset of what I am trying to do with Watchlist. 1) In the current version, you can actually set very flexible notification schedules and use a medium of your choice (email, webpush) to rec
