Why do you think diataxis and the google guidance is outdated now?

Why not? “Customer experience” is arguable, but most design documents I’ve seen involve the others.

Now who's being a Veruca Salt? Everyone in this thread is clearly literally talking about the message.

I'll admit, this is a heated topic, and heated topics rarely go well over text. I apologize for misreading and pettily being condescending "in return". I agree with the way you phrased it here.

I didn’t assume, I asked. But you’re being particularly condescending, so I guess that’s where we’re at. “Directly incorporates” is pretty vague and still seems like it’s financial, but good for you. I hope it’s something that assists artis

I'd like to consider myself somewhere towards the middle of the spectrum on AI outlook, but posts like yours in this thread depress me. It's difficult for me not to see it as spreading FOMO so that you can gain financially. When&#

In the spirit of this forum and at the risk of being very cringe, I’d guess that’s like being the founder of a company versus being one of the early employees :)

What should? Presumably if it were easy and solved their most visible problem then they would have done it already?

That's what the person you replied to is talking about, and they're right. Putting aside the final byte size (where protobuf also wins), protobuf is faster at both encoding and decoding than json. There are numerous benchmarks you

I get what you’re saying, but I wouldn’t say easy is the opposite of challenging. As a quick example, I would surely find a day job of manual labor harder and significantly less enjoyable than a day job of software engineering challenges. (

That makes sense to me. Thanks for explaining. And I'm sorry to you and the parent poster for being needlessly snarky, I wasn't in a great mood when I wrote my original comment. I'll avoid bothered-posting in the future ;).

Just because you can mad-lib something that makes sense at the surface doesn’t make it insightful. How are plungers comparable to LLMs?

Maybe I'm incorrectly parsing your comment, but what does a "founder centric pov" for documentation look like?

People seem to think you’re attacking the article. I read the article but know nothing about aquaponics otherwise, and I was wondering why we don’t see it used more. So I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on the subject.

"Sufficiently developed" seems like a cheap proof. There are still many non-technological problems above and below it. For example, how do you ensure everyone on the road has a self-driving car? We've sufficiently developed e

Are you making a joke? Not being snarky, I actually can't tell if it's a real suggestion or satirical.

The distance between DeepSeek and Claude is far, far less than the distance between Google Search and any of those.

The frustrating part is that these posts will never post any details about the business, despite the fact that it would immediately invalidate most criticism. It seems to be a similar phenomenon to productivity "gurus" who write a

I don’t even know the names of any open source search engines, but the open source models perform decently on various benchmarks and in personal experience. Was it ever even a claim that open source search engines were trying to outperform

I get what you’re saying, but I think it’s fair to view it as equivalent to drinking a protein shake after a workout. You used the resources in a productive and healthy way, now you need to replenish them.

From what I can tell, the sad truth is that people think “he’s a billionaire / trillionaire, I want to be involved with that.” It’s a variant of the people who pick “Jay-Z” in the meme question “would you rather have half a million dol

Personally my least favorite is the overuse of "quietly" (e.g. "No tricks. No marketing gimmicks. Just one company quietly outperforming the others"), and the one that makes the least sense to me is "that's the

I think it's a little different because: 1. This person is asking us to use/try their product. Very different from a boss/subordinate relationship. 2. This is Hacker News, which has a certain tone and intention. I might text

It’s not my area of expertise, but a friend in the field told me the fun fact originally. Looking into it, it seems like smell has the most potential for genetic variance: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC399044

I don’t really understand what you mean. How can you have a community without identity? Isn’t that just a category? i.e. “a person who uses rust” vs “a member of the rust community”. There’s nothing wrong with either one, but the latter ten

Pairs nicely with the fact that smell is the sense most likely to be experienced differently between two people :)

I think this is really insightful. Every "good and invisible" tool I thought of fit neatly into one of those two categories. Examples: Powerful and specialized: automatic transmission, display/monitors Simple and limited: syn

Makes sense! My mistake for assuming it was the former definition, lesson learned. Hopefully soon our industry will align on some standard terms. I feel like "AI-assisted", "agentic coding", "vibe coding", etc

I think programming is work, but I get your point :). And yes, of course - I'm mostly just curious how peoples roles at various companies are evolving as they hand off more and more to AI.

To be fair, thraway3837 posted a reply on a sibling comment and offered "AMA" :). That said, I do see a lot of those posts you're talking about, and I think a lot of AI development is way overhyped. But I also think internal
