I think svelte 5 is an actual innovation, it does not behave or feel like a “framework” to me. It feels like a natural extension of building an front end with raw html, css, js, solving the headaches you eventually hit when you do so.

I date a nurse, I think nursing might give AI an existential crisis. Jokes aside, nursing is so incredibly innately about human to human care, this is really just more hamfistig something where it doesn’t belong.

Optimist take, the tech is shit and the people like Trump not JD Vance. Cryptocurrency = Not being used as a currency, doesn’t even meet the criteria for a true medium of exchange. AI = Can’t actually be used to automate these federal worke

Svelte is the only framework I have come across that is actually tackling the problem of front end bloat and I love it

Svelte 5 does a great job of raising warnings for this. You try to use an onclick on a div you get warning to make it tab-able and give it an aria role, and a reccomendation that you should probably be using a button.

I am saying that all people, including neurodivergent people, have personal agency in what kind of work they choose to do. If you work a job that is primarily meaningless work, that’s your choice. My original comment was to say that you hav

Ive got a pretty intense ADHD. This article is vaguely offputting to me. I think it makes it out to be that neurodivergent people need to be baby’d in some way. From my perspective, I think neurodivergent people can’t stand doing things wit

This is actually a major issue in the LLM wrapper space. Building things like agents (which I think are insanely overhyped and I am so out on but won’t elaborate on), usually in Python, where you are making requests that might take 1-5 seco

Are you developing directly against your production database?

My current setup on a personal project is docker compose with Postgres and pgadmin container. I would never think of mocking a database in 2024/2025, just spin one up. Also keep your lynch pin invariants in the database and not in your

Correct solution: stop using inheritance.

I think database modeling is a bit of a lost art, it’s so important though for building applications that do anything important. Love your distinction about the database not needing to be 1 and the same with your domain model. I usually do

It’s not wrong to use dicts, it’s just bad practice when you could use something like a dataclass or pydantic model instead. Dicts are useful for looking things up, like if you have a list bunch of objects that you need to access and modify

This looks great, actually using streaming for responses is a nice touch. Having built a few front end ai chat features, one of the key things is making sure the llm provider is swappable, and that chat history is stored in your own databas

Exactly, things like changing the signature of the api for chat completions are an example. OpenAI is looking for any kind of moat, so they make the api for completions more complicated by including “roles”, which are really just dumb templ

That’s a great analogy! The chemical imbalance thing has always sounded to me like there “are spirits in the system”

I think this is a major selling point. If developers could upload their CVs, exercise could package together the users yoe + industry experience with the users learning veracity + main language. I think that would be a solid product that hi

The issue is we don’t actually recognize that there are two very different careers that fall under the “software” umbrella. One is developing hard software, software that needs to be performant on a hardware level. Like operating systems, l

Sqlalchemy stands out as a library having probably one of the most complete and pragmatic APIs for database access across all languages. It is no small feat to create compatibility for modern Python features like type hints and async in a l

I seriously don’t understand how searching for a file in windows takes so long and yields such crappy results? What abomination must there be under the hood for it to be this consistently bad for all of these years? Microsoft devs chime in

I do - it just makes sense if you are riding public transport or touching stuff that isn’t as clean as you’d think. Like your phone, wallet, keys, backpack, shoe laces, pant pockets, etc. Not obsessively, but if I haven’t washed my hands in

There isn’t one answer to how to do it. If you have an answer to validation for your specific use case, go for it. this is not trivial because most flashy things people want to use llms for like code generation and automated RCA’s are hard
