Ok, I'll try, since I went through that stage also in the recent past. I'd do a multi step thinking process to outline the bigger picture, hope I can communicate it good enough: 1. AI-assistence helps senior people even more that

After 20 years of dev, having devops skills nearly maximized (with a AWS specialization), built/maintained/scaled many products, ... can completely relate. I really do see hostings costs differently now compared to earlier in my c

really tried to get into it for a while, but the tooling situation feels like the polar opposite of Go, where everything needed in daily work is right there in a standardized way and just works out of the box. I kinda like the language (its

Already played with it, what has killed me are the outragously long compile times for nontrivial code and no "easy" way to crosscompile binaries, besides from some docker hack. Also its like a modern Ruby, which is great in genera

Nowadays I program in a mostly Microsoft world (VSCode, Github, npm, typescript, GPT, ...) and I think its quite good, so no bias here. But the "shipping a native binary straight to the server that just works" is absolutely crucia

Can I natively build self-contained binaries? One of Go's biggest advantages is the delivery chain from code to server (build for target arch, copy to target, ./run)?

I think I still would have to deal with a lot of OOP and imperative code there, C# feels like a kitchen sink of stuff - right?

I love Rust and built some production code with it in the past. But nowadays I want something more simple so that not-so-senior developers can pick it up quickly, and I want flawless tooling, and willing to sacrifice a bit of performance. S

Absolutely right what you pointed out! Having said that, I also can keep focus on really boring days, like I never head an issue in school/university with being easily going into squirrel mode or detractability. But will definitely che

I really know what u mean (and had like 2 weeks of Duolingo streaks several times) - but the sheer concept of streaks has no power over my brain somehow, like I couldn’t care less about breaking it. What you did sounds like „keystone habits

1) I am pre-trained in fasting extended amounts of time and actually enjoy it, being hungry wasn't the problem. but sometimes (quite often for me unfortunately) adult life happens, and I just have to do something like eating business l

well I am probably kinda the hardcore target group. I can clearly spot, articulate and act on problems (like being overweight and out of shape). I go deep into the scientific (and also pseudo for fun) discussions about anything in the proce

Thats a nice way to make me donate more money to charities I guess

Maybe the same problem like in healthcare, where the US spends _a lot_ of money but there are lots of middlemen companies (including insurances) siphoning off the money, and also charge the customers? Looks like all this money that is spent

This sounds sooo surreal as a guy living in Europe. Maybe you Americans should really look into how social welfare actually reduces these problems and make _everyone_ better off? Giving free good housing to the homeless has a cost, but is w

I think the main battle for google will be that corpus poisoning might be the new SEO - wait for it!

If the stock market goes to _zero_, your money won’t be a problem worth thinking about. This would probably mean anarchy and other pressing issues to deal with

So they give up the largest market in the world (European countries combined) to their competitors right from the start. Smart move :-)

Man, I came in instinctively wanting to argue the opposite point, but reading your thought in this clear way made me second guess myself. You are simply right and I have no _real_ arguments against it (maybe some ideology, but thats not use

here I am, $50 spent roughly just to read a few "professional" prompts I can steal from and modify :-)

so ideally a single guy with ultra-prompts can create a whole AAA game on his own, while all the other people you used to need don't have to do crunch-time but can do their own great stuff instead? of course the prices for stuff also

I really want to have these agents behave as artificial as they truly are, not some kind of human, especially not a known one. humans have so many flaws, we meatbags are full of emotions and other bad behaviors, and it really makes no sense

I'll take a robotic vote any day over any kind of conservative bullshit. It really can only get better here, not even kidding. At least if the last things humans do is releasing artificial life forms, its still better than backwards hu

It seems that even Azure Cloud engineers have problems finding enough hardware to scale it up, maybe call Jeff Bezos for additional help?

I am strongly in favor of eliminating copyright completely everywhere, soooo I am pretty fine with that. The other direction should be more enforce-able: stuff derived from open data must also be made open again, like the GPL but for data (
