The good and bad aspect of this approach to AI in tech is that it revealed really how many developers out there are merely happy with getting something to work and get it out the door before clocking out and not actually understanding the i

Are CSRF attacks that common nowadays though? Even if your app is used by the 5% of browsers that don’t set the Origin header the chances of that being exploited are even more miniscule. Besides, most webdevs reach for token-based auth libr

I wonder if the discrepancy in analysis comes from the way the participants are asked to view the picture. English and Japanese are vastly different languages and even a simple question can be translated in subtly different ways.

It's kind of depressing to read Daniel's article[1] on this issue given the rising "popularity" of these lazy attempts at cash grabbing. I hope they manage to combat the AI slop in a way that does not involve fighting fi

Just like the old Carlin joke. Made me chuckle.

It’s about time these types of articles actually include the types of tasks being “orchestrated” (as the author writes) that aren’t just plain refactoring chores or React boilerplate. Sanity has quite a backlog of long-requested features an

To be fair Next.js is just following the natural progression of what their product always has been: holding devs' hands in all things deployment at the expense of vendor lock-in. Being aware of Vercel's limitations is not about th

Aren't the detractors the ones who know for a fact that it's a lossily compressed blob of knowledge and don't blindly fall for the hype?

Libraries like these are meant for runtime validation. I agree though. I prefer to use the compiler itself (tsc --noEmit) than recreating the validation logic.

Although I’m sure implementing this into a big codebase is a technical headache I hope this encourages other big Electron apps like Figma (or even Tana, a direct competitor) to support an offline mode of sorts.

This is not a you're-holding-the-llm-wrong problem though, AI tools are simply not capable of creating mental models for problem solving. Sounds like you're tired of hearing that LLMs are not a silver bullet.

BEM is a naming convention and SCSS is a preprocessor, they're completely different things.

The article literally shows the “bare form” example where this kind of meaning can be inferred: e.g. “I will try and finish the assignment.”

While the web has grown complex in line with increasingly complex applications, the platform is also undeniably bloated, precisely because every new feature (like HTML in Canvas proposal) has to be shoehorned into an already very fragmented

Given how this is about building and compiling programming languages a portrait of Admiral Grace Hopper would have been more appropriate than Ada Lovelace.

In software like VSCode the milliseconds stack up fast if you're switching between projects constantly and/or doing any kind of remote development.

I remember part of the discourse being that this was a much needed wake up call to web-devs for their relentless reliance on micro packages like left-pad. Part of it was the culture of publishing packages for the sake of popularity and gith

Except PhpMyAdmin is not meant for “content editors”. The point here is that a CMS shouldn’t be concerned with things like “themes”. Surely there’s a sweet spot somewhere.

This seems like it's already trying to solve too many problems at once. A CMS by definition is just an UI layer for inserting data in a DB, respecting the defined schema(s). Anything else would be getting in my way.

I believe that to people like Magnus it goes beyond "the job becoming boring" and his stance alludes directly to Fischer's disillusionment with the game – lacking in genuine and human creativity.

What does "HTMX support" even supposed to mean? HTMX is a drop-in library. Literally any html file "supports" HTMX.

Nielsen was mostly concerned with labeling himself a “guru” to boost his consultancy firm. The idea of user-driven design goes all the way back to the late 60s with the rise of Participatory Design.

I never really got the hype around Arc so I see how Dia is already a much more focused product with a more ambitious pitch. That still can't hide the fact that this major pivot is most likely motivated by their investors.

It almost always means bloat though, because any library that’s not updated in the span of a year is considered “abandoned” and succumbs to feature creep.

I’m disappointed in the fact that the main ambition here is only to recreate a browser for the sake of independence. There is so much potential in creating a modern browser that could for instance focus on performance, privacy, access to l
