Their stack builds a lot of abstractions on top of each other and this works only well as long as you don't deviate from the beaten path. One example: You can't really build custom TS providers for AWS resources. Why? Because this

Depends a bit on where your agent runs and how/if you built it. I'm not arguing if one or the other is better but I think the distinction is the following: If an agent understands MCP, you can just give it the MCP server: It will

Serious question: Is there any money to be made with this yet? (Jobs, Contracting, Projects, etc) If not: What's the plan to get this to be used?

Nah... That's a cute idea but here's some actual data: https://www.bundeswehrkarriere.de/downloads/mannschaften/936 tl;dr: Okay but it's not golden by any means.

I remember that a, few years back the phrase "They have not yet realized that they're a software company now." was used to describe the necessary change in perspective for many companies. I guess while some companies have cau

This is not a good article. An example: - The numbers on reported satisfaction are taken at face value. But they are influenced by some biases. -- Survivors Bias contributes to the satisfaction rates of homeschooling; It's hard to get

Regarding key order in JSON: - in the spec, key order clearly exists at the syntactic level - it's just that the spec says nothing about the semantics of JSON (besides "A conforming processor of JSON texts should not accept any in

If you avoid metaprogramming and stick to the simple stuff, python and typescript are almost the same language. To be fair, comprehensions (list/object expresions) are a nice feature that I miss a lot in JS/TS. But that's abo

I don't think generating virtual space is the issue. It's about generating interesting virtual space!

Interesting post. Just like everyone else, I disagree on some aspects. One has not been brought up. So here's goes: My first reaction to the highlighting of the literals (strings, numbers, etc) was: "This is wrong! Who cares about

I think their comparison table is a bit incorrect: You can totally run non-JS/TS monorepos with turborepo. (But you need an additional package.json per module.) (Note: I'm not saying it's better or worse than this.)

There was loads of pre-WW2 mockery of Hitler. It did not matter a lot in the end. So: As much as I admire Mel Brooks, this is just wishful thinking.

Sure. For any topic, you might find a perspective that makes it simple. But then: For a given topic, a lot of parties each bring their own set of simple requirements. The patterns emerging as the interferences of these requirements might no

I think it makes much more sense to make this statement for the rational numbers: It's the smallest field inside the real numbers that contains the naturals. So every subset that allows you to do your daily calculations contains the ra

My guess is that they get the parameters for the current connection from the phone context and then use a nonstandard library to establish the connection for maybe performance reasons. But then I think they did not bother to implement a mec
