In my lived experience, shared components just become another problem. Especially in a fledgling company, the iteration velocity is actually negatively affected by shared libs because there's always overhead to (not) break legacy. so s

react can be pure functions that take in props. Given a set of props, ideally data primitives, the outputted view is guaranteed. it's nice. In practice, the entire JS ecosystem enjoys flying off the rails, every season, but it's n

AI got it from people though. I too am saddened by the instant-polish marketing pages everyone and their grandma deploys to Render, but also some people at some point in time really did make these effects. And they are nice. HTML based UIs

That sounds really powerful, but also like burden shifts to the people that will maintain all this stuff after you're done having your fun. Tbh, I'm not exactly knocking it, it makes sense that leads are responsible for the archit

Can we help get your infra cost down to negligible? I'm thinking things like pre-generated static pages and CDNs. I won't assume you hadn't thought of this before, but I'd like to understand more where your non-trivial i

yeah the boon of LLM is how it gives a masked incentive for every jane and joe to be intentional communicators.

good point, single type source is very appealing and LLMs are so good with TS because of those type interfaces. only downside is forced js ecosystem x_X

I've run into schema issues specifically with things like supabase: the huge benefit to supase is really fast and effortless prototyping. But after that actually maintaining your app becomes really hard and you pay the tax back over ti

You're correct. I only have a very casual understanding of these things. For the non-linear thing, I just mean that for any advanced system there are say trillions of parameters, like cellular systems, and even if you mapped them in yo

by apsurd 8mo ago
non computable, non-linear as in given known input parameters you can determine the output parameters. we can't do that for mostly any complex physical system, as would be for something like living organisms.

I value your weird rant. Yes it did go on as a thought stream, but there's sense in there. I've been thinking a lot around a kind of smart-people paradox: very intellectual arguments all basically plotting a line toward some inevi

After a quick read it seems like gitflow is intended to model a release cycle. It uses branches to coordinate and log releases. Stacking is meant to make development of non-trivial features more manageable and more likely to enter main safe

OT: Your visual on "stacked PRs" instantly made me understand what a stacked PR is. Thank you! I had read about them before but for whatever reason it never clicked. Turns out I already work like this, but I use commits as "P

do LLMs arrive at these replies organically? Is it baked into the corpus and naturally emerges? Or are these artifacts of the internal prompting of these companies?

we've lost the plot. you can't compete with an AI on doing an AI performance benchmark?

disagree. nobody has a monopoly on what metric makes someone good. I don't understand all this leet code optimization. actually i do understand it, but it's a game that will attract game optimizers. the hot take is, there are othe

i don't think you missed it. Perhaps sarcasm, but the main comment is specifically about programming and seems so many sub comments want to say "what about X" that's nothing to do with programming.

by apsurd 9mo ago
But sign painting isn't programming? The comment is insightful and talks specifically of low and no code options creating more need for developers. Great point. has nothing to do with non programming jobs.

Great point. Reminds me of the misinformation wars. People who respect evidence-based knowledge need to defend against a never ending onslaught of conspiracy theories. They only need to slip up once, while the other side of doubt can run th

Agree it's not common to give unprompted background context within any given normal conversation. People usually default to the pull style which Id agree is ultimately less efficient. All that said, even though AI prompting is forcing

The worst thing that happened is LLMs make using tailwind _easy_. So now it's easier and easier to use and more and more tailwind. CSS is pretty hard to be proficient in, and maintain, but there's an intentionality to it that impr
