This is kinda where I’ve landed as well. I find the chat super helpful as a solo dev almost just as a sounding board for ideas and it is good at pointing out things I’m missing or not thinking through completely. I write almost all the code

This has happened to me with Rust. I read the book, did the interactive tutorials and then started on a small project and couldn’t really code anything! This is familiar territory for me as I prefer to do a breadth first survey of something

I’ve been using Kagi for about a year now and I genuinely get worried that there are no alternatives if it goes out of business. The results are extremely good, especially in the last 4 months. I like their opt in AI summary as well, just a

I think you first need to make an assumption of good faith on the submitter’s part. Yes, someone actively hostile to a repo and trying to sneak in changes will be successful, they can just prompt around the challenge. I think the bigger pic

I’m teasing a bit, yes your point is well made, you could just prompt around it. I think the bigger picture is there isn’t going to be some magical panacea that fixes this, we’ll just have to accept some sort of Swiss cheese model, like in

You’re absolutely right - AI is not just capable, it’s on the leading edge. It’s not about vibes, it’s about results. (It’s famously not well capable of sounding human)

The foundation points out something that has always been true, but AI has really brought to the forefront, that any contributor, including AI, could potentially not be relied on to maintain this patch in the future. This is the core of the

As long as I can connect my 3D TV, I can't wait to sip some Juicero and watch Quibi on it.

I love these simple games that take 2 seconds to understand the rules. Off by 6 on my iPad by mis-clicking. Very satisfying!

Literally installing Arch right now as I read this. Same deal, been using windows as my daily driver all my life but have been running Linux servers since late 90s (and did daily drive RedHat back in the day). My work env was just VS Code +

Surprised this is apparently the less popular stack. IDE (VS Code) on windows working out of WSL has been so good for a long time now.

Can definitely relate. Last "job" was a startup with two other people and it was so great having others to bounce ideas off of and share the ups and downs. Building something together is a fundamental human joy IMO. We sold that a

I think we'll start to see AI as any other tool that can atrophy your natural faculties. You can use a wheelchair to get everywhere, but your leg muscles will start to wither, but a wheeled vehicle for going longer distances is a genui

Design is one of those things that succeeds or fails in subtlety and both are difficult to quantify and back propagate through any sort of process, let alone training a model. The same way we figured out that the microwave can make approxim

I've been using AI like this as well. The code-complete / 'randomly pop up a block of code while typing' feature was cool for a bit but soon became annoying. I just use it to generate a block of boilerplate code or to a

Other than putting screen timers on all my apps, I've found that physically leaving my phone in other rooms to be helpful. Also recognizing it as a problem and acknowledging "Agh, I'm doing it again" when I get caught in

There seems to be an army of people on Twitter making $100k MRR from AI Tinder photo enhancer apps and they have a course to sell you. This is the same brand of person that was excited to get rich off NFTs and has now just moved on to slapp

I've noticed a huge uptick in this brand of "entrepreneur". I think everyone who was inspired by devs like LevelsIO, limped their way through some code academy tutorials and was discouraged that you actually needed to have _s

I have a Plex/Radarr/Sonarr setup on my home server. I've made a landing page so it's extra easy for my parents and friends to add media. It's been really wonderful, everyone knows everyone by one degree of separati

I think the goal of minimizing hallucinations needs to be adjusted. When a human "lies", there is a familiarity to it - "I think the restaurant is here." "Wasn't he in Inception?", like humans are good at

I haven't worked on games in about 10 years, but I wrote core tech for AAA games during the 2000's. Stuff like async I/O, reflection, memory allocation, low level networking, and especially containers were all written in-hous
