Ruby and Rails are even better candidates. CSP, Background workers, and many other features that Django still lacks have been standard offerings for sometimes 10+ years!

Having worked in mortgage, two important points: 1. Credit unions and large banks do not have access to the same vault of loan products at the same rates as each other. Fannie and Freddie offer rate discounts at volume. 2. Credit unions ty

I think what you describe is different than the level of joy/enjoyment I seek and am talking about. Sure the AI song can be pleasing to the ear, much like a catchy pop song or jingle at a grocery store is pleasing to the ear. The level

Here's my take - art has value because of the context it is created in. The author's history, current events that we live through as groups, the reactions to a work being released, availability of materials - all these things are

It might be the age thing, honestly. I'm past 30, and recently I changed my cursor coloring to bright orange/yellow because I was genuinely spending time trying to find my white cursor on all my white backgrounds (Github, some tex

As a user of Posthog, this statement is absurd: > Or safer again not to use software this vulnerable. Nearly all software you use is susceptible to vulnerabilities, whether it's malicious or enterprise taking away your rights. It&#x

I don't understand why we need VC-backed extensions to filter sites, these tools have existed for a long time under open-source codebases and community-driven blocklists. I think it's better to use Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey.

Double funny considering new-grads who may polish up some UI features or rewrite components for the 10th time will get paid 200-400K TC at these same companies. Evidently these companies value something other than straight labor.

Sounds a lot like "Stoemp", from Belgium. Spinach and carrot are classic, but any veggie works. Funny how very similar dishes can be found across the world under different names.

She's right though, when's the last time you've been to a public gathering place that hasn't had background music? It doesn't need to be loud, but without music if there's a natuural lull in the conversation it

#4 has been tough for me - I take it semi-personally, as a sign of disrespect. I get that everyone has things going on. That said committing to an event where the host spends time + money to prepare forand then not going just seems so rude

Your logic is unsound. The child does not exist, the person living does exist. Typical childfree folks like myself don't point at kids and say "ew, that kid shouldn't exist!". This is bias towards values that some don&#x

It's not an HN comment, not a scientific work, not a Wikipedia article. So what is it? Sorry, had to match your level of pedantery.

There's a public trail of reddit comments where Altman all but owns up to finagling board seats and ownership rights for Reddit many years ago. This is how he operates.

My theory: a lot of software we build is the supposed solve for a 'crappy spreadsheet'. a) that isnt' much of a moat, b) you're watching generalization of software happen in real time.

I'm not at all surprised, US agencies have long since been political tools whenever the subject matter crosses national borders. I appreciate this take as someone who has been skeptical of Chinese electronics. While I agree this report

Let's step through the flow: 1. Write up a detailed spec as a prompt, including a bunch of detail about the actual functionality. Add in some details about wanting to test everything. At this point I did not specifically say "Hey

I do not, but it took me and a coworker all of an hour to setup. Create a CI workflow, vibe code it to load up the PR contents + any rules you want (we maintain a directory of individual rules that people can tweak), and ship it off to GPT

For now, my mind is still made up. I leave the door open to be shown any serious piece of software that is built primarily through agentic workflows. Having tried to use these tools over the past month to build a critical piece of infrastru

That's a bummer! At my company we've started investing in what I'm calling 'semantic linting', which is basically running GPT over a PR with a set of rules that we iterate on. Already I'm finding huge value for

I'm reconsidering my opinion of Rafael considering the trajectory of DHH's rhetoric, and that Rafael has stayed in support of DHH throughout this time while many others have publicly called him out. Concerning.

Seconding this. No-nonsense, good dude. Shaking his hand was more of a personal goal than DHH.

Over the last 6 months this has been my experience with new engineers at work, absolutely awful. I wish people didn't feel the need to throw out SDLC once the LLMs came along.

I would point out that as of 3 years ago, green card holders felt completely safe in their legality as long as they were not committing crimes. This has now changed. The balance has already slid and change that people never expected has hap
