With an LLM setting this up is nearly a one shot prompt now too.
This is because a lot of sites are using SSO Microsoft and Google as an identity service to avoid having to do that work themselves.
Gangnam style YouTube video comments and my GME fellows assemble!
I've heard almost nothing about Gemini in my circles, are they still in the race to build AGI?
wait audiobooks is = reading? Do you find the retention of info as valid? I have a hard time focusing at least in my experience haven't tried audiobooks in a long time.
At least for me the effort of scanning, reading, and thinking about the authors perspective and the grind is where the knowledge sinks in for me.
It depends I imagine. Core bankend bank system, database, transactions and such sure, but what about the web and mobile client? I'm down to get better customer experience if they can ship faster without breaking the bank.
What about fraud detection and prevention? I hope to think I'm not alone in that perspective that it's acceptable in those cases.
On the flip side, IS this a good thing for senior engineers?
I don't really care about the web builder, a better slide deck creator I'm down for with MCP capabilities, pulling in things like Atlassian & Dyantrace metrics for slides would be nice including github issues etc.
if you loose an edit jj op log is incredible, I've saved a ton of work more-so now with AI's making mistakes. Also workspaces are super fast compared to git worktree's - same concept, different implementation.
I agree, that was a bit of an interesting approach but more-so than not it's been better in DX even though you have to 'unlearn' long term it's been a benefit IMO, but a soft one, not something you can measure easily.
So glad to see this on HN, here to support it. JJ is amazing, the hardest hurdle was not the tool but the toolchain and ecosystem when I started ~ 2 years ago. It's grown rapidly and is incredible to see the community grow!
YES YES YES! Excalidraw is amazing, I recently embedded it into my vibe coded project to add version control integration with it. Honestly one of highest quality tools I've used for my workflow, does what it needs to do and doesn't get in your way.
Jujutsu honestly is the future IMO, it already does what you have outlined but solved in a different way with merges, it'll let you merge but outline you have conflicts that need to be resolved for instance.
It's been amazing watching it grow over the last few years.
why would they want this type of check? Like what could it possibly be doing for the end customer or features available?
This is the answer; Diamond hands baby
I get your points here; I've had a similar discussion with my VP of Engineering. His argument is that I'm not hired to write `if` statements, I'm hired to solve problems. AI can solve it faster that's what he cares about at the end of the day.
However I agree there's a different category here under the idea of 'craft'. I don't have a good way to express this. It's not that I'm writing these 'if' statements in a particular way, it's how the whole system is structured and I understand every single line and it's an expression of my clarity of the system in code.
I believe there a split between these two and both are focusing on different problems. Again I don't want to label, but if I *had to* I would say one side is business focused. Here's the thing though - your end customers don't give a fuck if it's built with AI or crafted by hand.
The other side is the craftsmanship, and I don't know how to express this to make sense.
I'm looking for a good way to express this - feeling? Reality? Practice?
IDK, but I do understand your side of it; However, I don't think many companies will give a shit.
If they can go to market in 2 weeks vs 2 month's you know what they'll choose.
Whatever happened to that Microsoft project that would use a lazer to destroy the wings off female mosquitos?
Honestly the M$FT thing might be the greatest thing to happen to the Linux community, so much fresh blood and hopefully far more curious tinkers will continue to make the ecosystem better.
I believe 2026 will finally be the year of Linux desktop.
Legit is there any reasonable cost alternative solutions, because I'd use that in a heart beat.
That still have enterprise/business level support?
A book I read 'spark' by John J Ratey, discussed this in a few chapters. Cardio/Running at 70% maximum heart rate lead to brain plasticity and even allowing new synapses to make connections and grow. However, he did argue an exercise that also required concentration e.g dancing, basketball, skateboarding would have better results.
It's absolutely crazy, that we misunderstand how our brains are intended to work in the old world. Our brains are for movement, the ability to think, plan and utilize tools appears to have been a happy accident that allowed our ancestor an advantage in survival.
brains be braining.
Just a shout out to
https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery. My favorite productivity extension. I'm a tab hoarder, this makes my life manageable and gives my Firefox all the screen real estate by using keyboard shortcuts to open/close the tabs easily.
I also use the Firefox css to hide the top sidebar, so I get maximum screen usage.
Their bookmark feature is pretty awesome too.
Is there a name for this phenomenon, where with limited resources humans get more creative? There are still some astonishing technologies that are ongoing today, but much more limited to the early era of computer science.
hey just curious, any reason why some of these articles I see from time to time don't apply some simply CSS? I don't mind the raw html, I'm mostly wondering if there's some benefit to it that I might not be aware of.
I read a book called spark by John r. Ratey. Changed my perspective a lot, some of the newer research and school programs happening from the research is promising.
My biggest take away is that the brain is not wired primarily for thinking, but for moving it changed my perspective. Along with some new research about how the heart produces certain hormones that only happens under stress e.g 75% heart rate for an extended duration.
As someone who's been around a lot of people suffering with mental health and at times myself I notice movement really gets things back on track.
I just use excalidraw for free form drawings. Might not be what you need, but the performance and utilities is perfect for my workflow
Still tied up to windows though? Or does the Linux build work on par now?
Don't see the reason too. I mean I get it for a first project or while learning, but once you 'get' lambda using it with CDK or another framework makes you realize the whole reason for lambdas being about transformation of data not the transportation of data.
Small functions that can be reused in multiple APIs, tiny deployments, small tests incrementally building a system.
Lambdas primarily shine in an event based system. I'd rather use the serverless tooling as they're intended i.e cognito, gateway, event bridge, dynamodb.
Each are designed to solve a particular problem in what I'd say as a different paradigm.
If you want a traditional monolith I'd look to fargate instead since you'll be rolling a permission system/auth system and probably a framework of sorts.
In my past using only a part of lambda eventually lead me to having to build an already solved problem with a serverless service and make it fit in. Lessons learned I suppose.
