yep... we are living in a time that the role of the developer is changing quickly. Boris (Cherny) wrote about it and the TL;DR:

1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship 2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra 3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance 4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit 5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales

I'm doing it with gemini-cli: 1. analyze '/Users/YOURNAME/Movies/' and for each mp4 file give a meaningful name base on the content of the video 2. analyze '/Users/YOURNAME/Pictures/' and for each image file give a meaningful name base on the content of the image

I still love solving them myself (30-90 min/day, no copy-paste), and private leaderboards with friends feel as human as ever.

If you’ve been coding anytime in the past year, you’ve probably heard the buzz about Cursor — the AI-powered IDE that promises to write your code, clean your code, and maybe even refactor your soul.

It’s built on top of VS Code, so it feels instantly familiar. But the moment you hit that shiny AI shortcut, you realize: this thing is smarter than your codebase and hungrier than your wallet.

After a few months of using Cursor — and after accidentally vaporizing a scandalous number of API tokens — I’ve learned how to stay productive and solvent. And yes, the TL;DR is that you can still combine Cursor with Ollama + local models to get many of these benefits for free. Here are my 8 hard-earned tips to make Cursor your loyal sidekick within the limits of your budget.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: attackers don’t discriminate by company size. They discriminate by vulnerability.

If you’re a cyclist, runner, or triathlete, chances are you’ve spent more time than you’d like clicking back and forth between Strava tabs to figure out where you gained or lost time on a ride. I’ve been there — juggling two activity pages, scrolling, mentally matching segments, and trying to keep my eyes from glazing over.

LLMs are best used as powerful amplifiers of developer productivity—not as autonomous builders.
Re:Ask HN: Why not have "career change" insurance? on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @03:41PM (#42069026)
Like most things in life... the answer is: It depends. In the case --> mostly on the price and the ratio.

Looks interesting - Thank you. I checked some frameworks like: https://builder.vueform.com/ (and the similar ones for React) but not sure yet.
Re:Ask HN: If you use an LLM, which one do you use? on Monday May 29, 2023 @05:52PM (#36118541)
We are using both openAI and Google's Bard. There are some aspects to each of them - but it's still mostly 'WIP'. The main challenge is how to 'tune' these LLMs with our own data as another layer that can improve the overall performance (=quality of answers).

Google, Meta, and Netflix are part of a small elite group of innovative and successful tech companies of our time. They have made a name for themselves in business and technology.

But what can we learn from them?

Writing a useful bug report is a critical part of the software development process. A good bug report can help developers quickly identify and fix the issue, while a poorly written one can cause confusion and delay the process. What are your tips to write it?
