Java can still be used but it's no longer the recommended choice for Android apps. For any new Android apps nowadays you start with Kotlin and Jetpack compose (made by Google). In fact, I think Google's been saying this for 6-7 ye

This is such a clueless take, and I see it surprisingly often. Declarative UI does not inherently mean virtual DOM nor does it "automatically" mean slower than UIKit. The abstraction is huge advantage, especially when targeting d

Also a solid combination for LLM assisted apps. Claude Code will just get it. It's good with Tailwind also though.

This is one of those 'hey, I can vibe code this in a weekend' projects. Just look at how the AI decided to the entire map in dark mode, making it nearly impossible to tell the ocean and the land apart.

Haven't properly burned myself yet. I've just avoided books based on skimming through online or in bookstores. Some had pretty clear telltale signs of AI slop (although usually quite subtle). At his point I think that one has to a

It's better with properly published titles but even those writers are increasingly using AI and leaks into their works.

I think people still read, but the problem is largely that people read older literature, meaning anything older than 5-10 years at the very least. People are very hesitant to read something recent because it may very well be AI slop. It&#x2

Seeing that you already know programming, I'd say it'd be less risky for you. But the only reason you're able to pilot an LLM to do programming for you, is because you understand programming and architecture. But what about t

Back in the day people used to build a website without any versioning. Just make it and upload it. Make a change, upload it again.

How was Baghdad like in 1993? All I remember from that time was the Gulf war, Saddam and much conflict. I can only imagine how it would be finding hardware, books and resources such a time. That was hard enough even in parts of Europe.

ifconfig(8) is meant for low level stuff. What Linux did was replace ifconfig with another low level (e.g. ipconfig2), which makes more sense there I suppose. But don't get the impression that ifconfig is the easiest way in macOS on th

Only problem of course is that it's unlikely that this even exists in 5 years.

When I did LAN parties we had 10base2 over thin coax. Terminators at each end. Of course it was unstable because people kept disconnecting and everyone lost connection.

Even easier on macOS. Something like this should work: ifconfig enX inet6 fd42:dead:beef::1 prefixlen 48 No ned to bring it up as it should already be up. enX should be your USB/thunderbolt ethernet adapter, e.g. en6. Then you c

Phones are a bit small to explore the full potential of mobile. I'd look into getting an iPad Pro. Lots of cool stuff you can do.

I was there in Cape Town yesterday. People were pretty much in awe. 3 pilots in each plane, very experienced. So although it seems risky, I believe it was a calculated risk and within limits. Still seems crazy though!

Yes, it assumes senior level at pre AI, but this will apply to pretty much anything. Java in particular. Keep in mind of course that a lot of so called seniors were also producing mediocre code <insert framework or language here>. It

Stop claiming this. It's complete bullshit and you probably have never even been here.

How did you understand Angular to be similar to htmx? They are nearly polar opposites. Can achieve the same though.
29.
by sgt 20d ago
I mean, htmx and JS glue logic is truly the differentiator now because LLM's do it so well. It's absolutely the way to go.

by sgt 20d ago
Agreed. In fact, I find Django and Postgres to be the best solution for htmx but Go stack is probably almost as good in terms of developer velocity and obviously much faster. So I think that's a good solution. You can really build powe
