Unless the company is going under, why not? Let's say Google releases Gemini Pro 4 tomorrow, and it's better than Fable and Sol; lots of people would switch over to it. AI models are almost completely interchangeable, so the best&

Very well written! I haven't read such a long piece on the internet for quite a while but this hooked me immediately, and kept me hooked. Breath of fresh air between all the AI """writing""".

> Even though it's 5 different phases, it's just "3 layers" of programming. I'd sharpen this to: it's 3 layers of software engineering (2, 3, 4), and 1 layer of programming (3).

Seems like a good avenue for money laundering if you can't tell where it comes from.

It's really not that hard. There's a lot to learn, but it's doable. Start here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/intro... Or if you're impatient like me you click &qu

Interesting; do you think it’s a net positive for them?

Feels like they’re just surfing the name recognition wave at this point.

Agreed, these are my vibes too. It feels much better to do planning and strategy and architecture etc. with Opus 4.7 than GPT-5.5. GPT just feels like a robot that gets instructions and does exactly that. Opus feels like an almost human tha

I don't think they think. I still use them a lot despite that, because they are very powerful parameterised code generators.

But then, if an agent picks the best response, how would you know that that is reliable?

I also have a small private app that technically could have been a PWA. It’s not a PWA because the UX is just always inferior. Even though we’ve come really far in browser UIs, the browser is still very clunky compared to the smoothness of

And if not losing, the battery dies in 2-3 years, so you'll have to buy new anyway.

No I can confirm this. I am at least an average C# dev, with 16 years of experience. I have built a very nicely responsive real-time syncing iOS app in what amounts to a weekend of time. (I only have an hour here and there, young kids) I ha

A tiny bit of this is already here: our robot vacuum & mop vacuums and mops the living room, kitchen, and dining room every night at 01:00. Coming downstairs in the morning to a completely clean floor is definitely a tiny bit of that ma

I agree with the sentiment, but: how do you navigate? Especially to unknown places?

@wwilson How do you define the X/Y "distance" of a non-Mario application? I.e. any (distributed or not) system that doesn't have a relatively trivial "higher x/y is better" fitness function?

This is a pretty short-sighted take. VR just doesn't offer much of anything currently. Some games work well, but most games are pretty clunky. Office work isn't substantially improved. A big warm sweaty headset is not nice to have

It just doesn't matter that much for the average consumer. Most office workers (that is, not silicon valley programmers) work on 1920x1080 and that's fine. There really is not much to gain by doubling or tripling the resolution. I
