I work with Django and while it’s true there is an unshakeable old-school vibe to it (Is it the docs? The SO posts from 2009? The source code with plenty of Python 2 era code?), other than proper async support, I don’t feel anything about i

I can confirm it totally worked in that sense at first glance, but it comes at the cost that I’m still going to browse chronologically, so I’m going to have to go up and down a lot.

What is limited about Laravel or Django, exactly?

I mean, can’t you decouple your modules inside a monolith just as well, if what you’re looking is to mitigate the risk of removing features?

In keeping with the HN tradition of off-topic comments about a submission's website design, I'm going to say I love the design of the blog's homepage. I find it very strange that it flows by column instead of by row, but I lo

Wow, that is a weird attempt at humor. I think?

I am not a cheap-ass developer. I believe that thinking economically is a fundamental facet of engineering, and if you are not thinking economically, you may be doing something , but it’s not engineering. Like the sibling commenter, I am d

There are plenty of people - technical and non-technical - who seem to be acting like AGI is right around the corner thanks to LLMs, and who are, more broadly, vastly overstating the current capabilities of LLMs. I’m observing this in real

They’ve only recently started commercializing them in Spain as far as I’m aware, so a gentle reminder for people like me was perfectly in order too. Hats off if AI can write with such a fine attention to detail.

I don’t know about the legality of it, but as a comical skit it’d be hilarious: a patient gets in deep shit with their doctor for violating patient-doctor confidentiality. Sounds straight out of Curb Your Enthusiasm! Edit: It seems it'

I’m moving an inordinate amount of data between the ChatGPT browser window and my IDE (a lot through copying and pasting) and this demonstrates two things: 1) ChatGPT is incredibly useful to me and 2) the worflow UX is still terrible. I thi

Why are RSC more LLM friendly that traditional React?

I’m not partial to Node.js backends for many reasons, primary being that I prefer batteries-included web frameworks and the choices are very limited in the JS backend world… But I have such a hard time believing that Node.js is inherently n

Local disk space for internal apps is a concern for you? I’ve never thought to measure the amount of space that a Django Admin app or a custom-built React admin app might take in my hard drive… At any rate I know I prefer having every envir

I’ve tried Retool a few times and can’t get into it. I simply don’t feel comfortable in a web UI… I’m primarily a Django/React dev and I would love to see the Django Admin panel philosophy in the React world: quick to build, but editab

I agree on domain and network. I’m pitched too many ideas where those things are close to zero and it’s a massive turn-off. Not so sure about your numbers however… I'd care more about depth of connections than raw volume, especially in

If LLMs warrant “the same strong regulation as nuclear proliferation”, but this is all about “kicking the brakes until culture catches up”, should we also now loosen nuclear arms regulations, now that society largely knows what’s up? The mo

Who are companies going to sell to if everyone is impoverished? The emergence of the middle class was a boon for businesses.

The article does not draw any conclusions on whether hjkl navigation leads to a productivity boost or not. I’ll just say, it certainly feels cozy to have navigation where your right hand is meant to sit according to touch-typing canon. Mayb

Yea, I get that, from what I see in the details of this case the contributor was very competent. What I'm questioning here is whether in OSS projects there is enough face-to-face communication, probing about values, etc.

by aerhardt 3y ago
You could probably get about 80% of the job done with just 20% of the work. I’m not in OSS but I hire technical people remotely, and I know many people that do. Some consultant friends have caught blatant scams within the first couple of ro

The face of the author, if this isn’t a joke and commenters in the thread are categorically affirming it is. Honestly, I don’t see why a variation of this wouldn’t work. It’s like a headline is a sprint goal or an epic or whatever agile art

Decades of optimizing compilers, static analyzers, and software engineering practices when the solution to quality was right under our noses all along.

Don't you at least type function params and returns? Also, what do you build in F#? I think if I moved out of Python that would be it. OCaml is one of my favorite languages ever, and F# looks rad.

This story is an incredible testament to how open-source software can self-regulate against threats, and more broadly, it reminds us that we all stand on the shoulders of contributors like you. Thank you!

This thing is packaging components from MUI and Recharts, any React dev would know how to bring these in if needed in a project. Also why a time series chart but not every other chart? I think there is a case for a chat UI library, but th

AI needs UIs too, and I don’t think it’s a terrible idea to create a UI library for multi-modal experiences. Unfortunately this isn’t it, at least for the moment being.

I can buy your comment as an interesting and even credible hypothesis, but the absolutes which you deal in (“doesn’t pass even the most basic sniff test”) are damning. You are clearly lacking huge amounts of information and context and are

The benefits of going schemaless in the early stages of development are highly suspect in my experience. The time that one might save in data modeling and migrations comes out from the other end with shittier code that’s harder to reason ab
