I agree with everything except "completely without awareness"...the game is called "vendor lock-in" and they're intentionally breaking anything that allows people to use Next.js outside their fancy, expensive ecosys

Looks like the Next.js gish-gallop machine is firing on all cylinders, augmented by generative AI. .env files are problematic because they often end up in version control or left lying on local disks unencrypted, increasing the risk o

I like this writing style. I like variety in the things I read. Not everything has to be optimized for efficiency, not everyone thinks like a developer or engineer. I agree with the second half of your comment though, most issues are "

I've noticed this lately too, I think everyone is like posing as an AI-influencer or something and copying the "Just use AI" slogan that everyone is repeating right now. What if I don't want to use AI for this problem, a

Are comments like this productive? What is the point of just vaguely guessing that someone used AI to write something, with 0 proof other than some dim pattern-recognition comment? Is it possible that the opposite is true, ChatGPT was train

I think this can be worse than ignorance. It's the illusion of knowledge coupled with the confidence that comes from thinking you understand something you've never actually encountered. These people walk around armed with h

Does the cost of a new computer not get factored in? I think I would need to spend $2000+ to run a decent model locally, and even then I can only run open source models Not to mention, running a giant model locally for hours a day is sure t

I just go outside when my internet is down for 15 minutes a year. Or tether to my cell phone plan if the need is urgent. I don't see the point of a local AI stack, outside of privacy or some ethical concerns (which a local stack doesn&

I am not impressed with Next.js or Lee's evangelism (yes, in the religious sense) of their platform. Being forced to develop in Next.js for a major project was the last straw, and convinced me to abandon the Javascript/Typescript&
