For a project set up by a qualified engineer, there would be little difference to the end user in practice. The LLM would work out a solution with a negligible difference in speed. Maybe debugging would also be faster for the LLM without the abstraction layers and low level access?

"Except if you quit or go on vacation, who will maintain this custom pile of shell scripts?" LLMs can reason about and fix them quite well.

Crazy how impatient people are while millions of people suffer, thousands die, and prices go up around the planet.
So if I try to do it with Opus three or four times, I'll get it done? And probably in about 10 minutes? Awesome

Re:In My Culture on Sunday March 10, 2019 @03:05PM (#19353688)
It seems from the comments that this article rubs people the wrong way. This article might be getting grouped into a speech police category that is undeserved.

I think the intention of "in my culture" is to allay a fear in the listener. The speaker is worried that there is a strong expectation of change in the listener by stating something as an axiom. The speaker's hope is that the listener will see a possibility instead of a demand.

Some people think it should be obvious that what a person states should never be seen as a demand to conform. Some believe this is a necessary life skill, especially in business.

Some people are interested in finding ways of speaking in a more sensitive way in an era that seems to be embracing sensitivity.

Its interesting to me that both sides can see each other's ways of communicating as an affront, when it is likely not the intent on either side.

If you can build a web site with React + Firebase + Google Cloud Function + CDN, you are a full-stack engineer.
Re:Redux – Not Dead Yet on Wednesday April 25, 2018 @11:50AM (#16922695)
Heh, very new project, thanks for the heads up. Its public now.
Re:Redux – Not Dead Yet on Wednesday April 25, 2018 @11:22AM (#16922331)
After using Redux for a while, I realized that I was creating a lot of boilerplate to essentially (1) update an immutable store and (2) pass that store's state to (a)sync callbacks that execute in serial before and after the store was updated.

This lead me to the creation of DotStore (https://github.com/invrs/dot-store#readme), along with extensions to use it with React [1] and the filesystem [2].

"Dot prop" strings have proved to be an elegant solution to detect which props changed on the store. Usually this means doing a regex match in `shouldComponentUpdate`. We almost never use React's state anymore.

I am the creator of Stasis. Compare the sheer length of docs for nanoc (http://nanoc.stoneship.org/docs) to those of Stasis (http://stasis.me), and keep in mind that Stasis can do anything that Nanoc does.

Re:Show HN: Framous - Your Photos. Your Personality. on Sunday January 08, 2012 @06:40PM (#3440895)
Created my frame, left the site, came back, and placed an order.

Did not realize framous had not saved my picture orientation properly. Emailed to cancel order so I could place a new one. No response.

Now I will not be placing a new order at all.

If you are a Rubyist who is looking to play with a wide variety of technologies, make big decisions on a relatively small team, and work on a site that reaches 20 million people per month, this is your place.

Re:Using Jekyll and GitHub Pages for Our Site on Wednesday September 14, 2011 @02:40AM (#2995150)
You are right. I would appreciate a fork to fix this very minor issue, but if not I will be getting to it very soon.

It can do everything nanoc does, but the execution is much simpler and much more natural. This is not just my opinion, but what I have heard from lots of people.

My apologies for the self-promotion, just trying to get the word out.

Re:Using Jekyll and GitHub Pages for Our Site on Wednesday September 14, 2011 @02:36AM (#2995147)
You can do all of this via controllers. You can execute any Ruby code you want before each template renders.

There is distinction between filters for content and layouts, simply use the layout filename in a before block.

You can execute any Ruby you want. You can use ActiveRecord, Redis, whatever. Load YAML for metadata. None of this stuff needs to be baked in, Ruby already does it.

Re:Using Jekyll and GitHub Pages for Our Site on Tuesday September 13, 2011 @06:45PM (#2993901)
And even more simple and powerful than nanoc:

http://stasis.me

Hosted on GitHub pages, so blame them :)
Jekyll is made for blogs. Specifically, blogs using HTML, Markdown, or Textile. Anything past that starts to become a hack.

There are inherent constraints to the framework because it must be "safe" enough for GitHub's environment. For example, an issue close to my heart:

https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/issues/225

I created Stasis because jekyll wasn't versatile enough and nanoc seems a bit overly complex for what it is doing. I am trying to strike a good balance with Stasis.
