Out of curiousity, how do you manage the constant context switching? It's hard for me to manage the context of one coding session, let along 2-4 sessions.

I had a colleague liken an LLM to an intern and I didn't agree with that because with a human intern you are invested in their success and there's a joy in watching them grow (when they are willing to). LLMs can't grow.

> I will do what i know gives me the best possible and fastest outcome over the long term, 5-10 year period. And that remains largely neovim and by hand. The process of typing code gives me a deeper understanding of the project that lets me deliver future features FASTER. I'm fundamentally convinced that my deep long term understanding of a project will allow me to surpass primarily LLM projects over the long term.

I have never thought of that aspect! This is a solid point!

Definitely. And it’s hard to separate out whether the person is actually more productive or feels more productive.

A lovely talk on how to build UIs that won't have you pulling your hair out. It does a splendid job of actually explaining what a data-driven UI really means.

I definitely believe Clojure needs a rails. Not only will it help beginners get started, if it can help people get started faster and build fast like Django and rails do, I think it'll help more with adoption.

Biff and fulcro seems like they have a shot at this

The idea sounds really cool, but I still feel like there should be a default way of doing things for the beginners, so they can start learning Webdev and not spend time setting up.

And more fine grained recommendations for the expert.
