Is it possible that individuals or groups use outsourcing as a way to funnel money into their private interests? IMO we're looking at good old corruption.

It's like Scala and Spring Boot had a baby and the baby was in typescript. Super solid project great engineers.

I don't think LLMs are much better at react. I've migrated two apps from next to sveltekit and it was a breeze using codex.

Finally got to Dostoevsky's Brother Karamazov. This will take a while.

This is actually a lot of fun.

Oh excellent! Once I get a bit of time I will try hooking NAM A2-l to a controller and then putting THAT inside of one of my old drive pedals for style.

It’s the whole business for the installers. You get margin where you can, and that for them is in the marketing and selling and installing and supporting for the customers.

I love the line that Chin wants to influence Canada on the same day as US puts demands for having controls over Canadian trade deals.

LLMs are an automated Indian dev-shop. That’s all. The code is poorly thought out, poorly implemented and doesn’t take performance into account. But the code works and you got it for cheap. That’s my mental model and I’m happy with it

The big ones for me are the actor processes sending each other messages, distributed processes where you can connect several nodes to each other very seamlessly and the processes within them communicate seemlessly! I’m not looking to rebuild OTP, I’m simply exploring ideas I couldn’t before

I built a screen recorder for myself with LLMs. A calorie tracker. Now building this everything-webframework in Odin that's inspired heavily by BEAM's ideas (its a creative process for me, I don't have an end goal in mind)

Reminds me - I was working for a Canadian network equipment manufacturer and at one point a client in Asia was trying to get support for a bunch of units of uor hardware (modems). Long story short, turns out they bought knock offs that didn't even bother changing casing leaving contact info on modems for our company.

They are making more money than ever before. Maybe Meta leadership doesn’t really care about having a coherent strategy at this point. They can afford to flail around to see if something sticks. Reminds me of Rich kids who have ability to travel the world and find themselves before settling into a career

You'd be surprised. Every software application has bugs. If customers are willing to give you money despite bugs that's a very string signal in favour of your product.

That's a problem for you — the customer - not for Jeff, the VP.

In the West, decline of living standards and continued decay of institutions. Probably very few organizations actually benefit from LLMs, mostly bankers.

Elsewhere? who knows

It probably has to do with what technology people are used to. There has been a couple of generations of web developers who have only known javascript and its ecosystem for building webapps, and so anything other than pure javascript solution looks foreign.

I've seen enough degradation of the models I pay for from Anthropic to not bite. Fable will work fine for the first couple of weeks and then start degrading like previous models did.

Top 1% are too divorced from the real world to have ever seen a cog.

Currently rewriting nextjs app into sveltekit. It’s going surprisingly smoothly. Don’t know about svelte vs react yet BUT sveltekit is far more straightforward than nextjs has far better DX and is somehow faster

I don't understand why cloudflare is loved by tech people. They ARE breaking the web.

Why should you posses a homestead? What value do you produce that droid can't that would make you deserving of anything at all? Why should corporations that design, manufacture and program the droid not own the land instead?

We need to very rapidly decouple human worth from the economic lens otherwise the economic argument is against humans.

For whatever reason zed takes forever to paste on my m1max MBP. Im talking at least 1.5s for a paste a few characters from clipboard or to duplicate a line.

I am afraid to give agents ability to touch git at all and people out there let it know things about their infrastructure. 100% fault on the operator for trusting agents, for not engineering a strong enough guard rails such as “don’t let it near any infrastructure”.

HA! I Love it! It's a been a while since I felt this sort of joy exploring a new way to navigate

It will take some time for Quarkus to become a significant enough presence in the market share. In my experience, for the majority of Java shops Spring Boot does just fine because it worked before and it will probably work in the future.

This is still relatively tame! I've seen stuff where there are layers of annotations some of which will spawn docker containers effectively bringing docker compose into java application as part of the set up. Some containers would need to come up, do a quick file change, then die and the the rest of configuration proceeded (this was for an automated test tool). Entirely stupid, could have been written with just couple classes of Java and a docker compose. But it is a culture. It is a culture that I think ultimately will destroy Java.

You have worked at some outstanding java shops then! In my experience the article is precisely representative of Java culture even today

This is very interest to me because we have accumulated a few node packages containing logic that services simply import. So in theory I could now use those node packages in elixir?

UK absolutely needs to be thought of in the same way we think about Russia or Belorussia, or China.
