This is why I built https://saasufy.com/ - There are 23 generic HTML components which can be assembled to provide a flexible way to render any kind of data and flexible form elements to flexibly update the data (or show err

That's why I built https://saasufy.com/ as an agent tool for building data-driven realtime apps. I started working on it piece by piece about 14 years ago. It was originally targeted at junior developers to provide the

I agree with most points in the article but I disagree with the idea of coding as planning. Coding is a really bad way to plan; it maximizes sunk cost fallacy. People tend to code the first approach which came to their heads and they are re

Virtual machines are the wrong abstraction. Anyone who has worked with startups knows that average developers cannot produce secure code. If average developers are incapable of producing secure code, why would average non-technical vibe-cod

Sounds like they got sick of if after working on it so much. It's really frustrating and tiring when you get everything essentially right but it doesn't work out because of slightly off timing or for some absurdly complex set of r

I don't mind AI. What I don't like is the complete saturation of communication channels with the same mainstream ideas and products over and over. This started long before AI slop.

Yep. Then you run into the issue of where to store the secret encryption key. Security researchers always need to give an answer whenever there's a security incident and the answer can never be "too much centralization risk"

My project https://github.com/socketCluster/socketcluster has been accumulating stars slowly but steadily over about 13 years. Now it has over 6k stars but it doesn't seem to mean much nowadays as a metric. It suc

We need Universal Basic Income UBI and we have the right to demand it: - LLMs trained on OUR copyrighted works and OUR open source code which was licensed for human use (MIT license explicitly says for "Persons"). - A monetary sys

SaaS needs to be reinvented. We need backend platforms which provide more security controls, more flexibility in terms of data-sharing, seamless access by AI agents with advanced access controls; e.g. some agents can define schemas, some ag

Hmmm. Have you used Claude Code for coding? I'm not saying it's always accurate but for a lot of coding tasks, it's insanely accurate. It's like mind reading. Like for complex bugs in messy projects, it can get stuck and

I tried my hand at coding with multiple agents at the same time recently. I had to add related logic to 4 different repos. Basically an action would traverse all of them, one by one, carrying some data. I decided to implement the change in

The most versatile and secure no-code backend platform ever created for building complex web apps. The original goal was to bring junior devs on par with top senior devs in terms of application architecture. I've been trying to create

Yep. I prefer handling the versioning and validation separately of the parsing. You need to define your schema regardless, then untrusted data from clients must be validated against it. I tend to prefer separation of concerns.

It feels like short-term thinking has been trained into LLMs. They're good at solving well-defined puzzles under time constraints. It's interesting because that was the benchmark for hiring software engineers at big tech. The tech

I prefer skills with simple curl commands. It's easy. You just need to create a server with HTTP endpoints and Claude (or other LLM) can call them with the curl commands you provide in your skills files. Claude is really good with curl

Great to see France purging itself of corruption. Why did they pay for an inferior product for so many decades when a superior free alternative was available? It was regulatory capture; corruption.

I built my quantum-resistant signature scheme from the simplest cryptographic primitives I could find precisely to mitigate risk. This implementation simplicity came with tradeoffs; I chose a stateful signature scheme (Lamport OTS with Merk

There are different degrees of well-engineered software. It's almost impossible for humans to do a good job with a large codebase. Some software is just too complex for any human or machine to implement correctly. Humans almost always

But the summary is likely to summarise out the details which makes the code vulnerable.

This is a great point. I'm really concerned about it. Most people seem to have poor taste and like what is most generic because generic is familiar.

100%, poorly architected software is really difficult to make secure. I think this will extend to AI as well. It will just dial up the complexity of the code until bugs and vulnerabilities start creeping in. At some point, people will have

I suspect it will converge on minimal complexity software. Current software is way too bloated. Unnecessary complexity creates vulnerabilities and makes them harder to patch.

I'm skeptical of the whole thing, it almost seems like a marketing campaign to encourage developers to use more tokens. My experience as a software engineer, including with Claude Code itself, is that the more code you have, the more b

Yep. Good quality, succinct code saves time and money. Always has and always will.

I had an epiphany about the software industry when I stayed at my parent's place and used a microwave that had the worse UX of any machine I had ever seen. Basically there was no start button, there was no way to increment the timer af

Why would experts care about my product? There's no big money behind it. The big money has to come in first, then the experts come later to tell the big money whatever they want to hear. Maybe they want to hear the truth maybe not... E

It's a very simple signature algorithm. They're welcome to try and crack it. If there is an issue with it, it shouldn't be hard to identify within those few hundred lines. Nobody found any issues in the last 5 years though. I

The crypto dev community has a strange idea that working with binary is superior. For many algorithms, it's not. It just obfuscates what's happening and the performance advantage is negligible... Especially in the context of all t
