I can scarcely imagine a way to formulate an argument that is better at convincing the reader that the author is a grumpy dude on the spectrum.

There is no way to autogenerate migrations that work in all cases. There are lots of things out there that can generate migrations that work for most simple cases.

It is blatantly obvious to anyone with just a little bit of experience that the reddit devs barely know what they are doing. This applies to their frontend as well as backend. For some reason, reddit is also the only major social network wh

I thought the same thing. I, too, am a big fan of prolog and have (at least) yearly binges where I write a lot of it for fun and profit (and some frustration), but I do not consider myself to be an expert. But even I can see that the author

It's extremely convenient for you to become offended at this stage so you can avoid actually addressing my points, since your claims are borderline nonsense. Any person that understands dependent types and is unfortunate enough to read

Thank you for (once again) making it clear to any reader that you are not to be taken seriously. If only we could edit older comments so that the reader didn't have to suffer through all your nonsense to find out.

Let's imagine we are working with some hypothetical language in which what you describe is possible. At some point, you will have to write a function where you validate/parse some arbitrary string, and it then returns some sort of

You clearly don't understand the patterns I described. Look up branding and try reading e.g. "parse, don't validate".

More than anything, this reveals your lack of understanding of modern languages and type systems. TypeScript, for example, is one of the most widely used languages in the world. It has an incredibly powerful type system which you can use to

How is it painful? You need to bump a minor version? It took me less than 5 minutes 90% of which was waiting for CI. There's even a tool you can run to do it for you.

No, there aren't. The react team isn't going to axe half the team because there's a high severity CVE.

Look, I'm not trying to dunk on your website for fun. The issue is that you're making a specific argument: you're an experienced developer who uses AI to be 5-10x more productive without downsides, and you properly audit all

Look, buddy. You propped yourself up as an Experienced Dev doing cool stuff at Profitable Startup and don't understand Advanced Programming, and your entire argument is that you can keep doing the same sort of high quality(FSOV) work y

I've written more than one compiler, so I definitely understand how compilers work. It seems you're trying to call anything that transforms one thing into another a compiler. We all know what a compiler is and what it does (except

A compiler does so deterministically and there is no AI involved.

Your site has waterfalls and flashes of unstyled content. It loads slowly and the whole design is basically exactly what every AI-designed site looks like. All of the work you described is essentially manual labor. It's not difficult w

I'm wondering: do you genuinely not understand how compilers work at all or is there some deeper point to your AI/compiler comparison that I'm just not getting?

I've been using emacs for 15 years as my daily editor. One thing that never fails is that when I share the fact that I've switched away, emacs users fall over themselves to tell me I'm wrong. I assure you that my emacs setup

As interesting as I find it, cannot agree more. It's very childish writing - feels a lot like it was written by a teenager. It sort of reminds me of my young 8 year old niece telling me a story she finds so exciting she barely comes up
