I don’t think those web tooling piles are over-engineered per se, they address huge challenges at Google and Facebook, but the profession is way too driven by hype and fashion and the result is a lot of cargo culting of stuff from Big Dogs

I’m imagining a world where everyone was using emacs/lisp or Smalltalk VMs, and what kind of world-improving insanity we could be sharing through LLMs.

Creating controversy on “one side” then artificially heating engagement on the “other side” is a well established and easy to apply media figure manipulation technique. For the target they’re getting massive rewards and attention to allevia

We’ve also got to consider the fourth dimension, what happens over time. Salesforce is getting LLM superpowers at the same time the Enterprise is, so customizing and maintaining and extending Salesforce are all getting cheaper and better an

I kinda love SVN, it was a leap up from many popular solutions at the time. And some people hate it… but, up to and including this story of random-assed deletions, scratch the surface of why and all you hear are self-inflicted harm through

Bumping into those limits is trivial, those 5 hour windows are anxiety inducing, and I guess the idea is to have a credit card on tap to pay for overages but… I’m messing around on document production, I can’t imagine being on a crunch faci

Just a thought: the timeline of the vibe techs rolling out and the timeline of increasing product rot, sloppiness, and user-hostile “ has anyone ever actually used this shit!?! ” coming out of MS overlap. Vibing won’t help out at all, and y

I also have felt like these kinds of efforts at instructions and agent files have been worthwhile, but I am increasingly of the opinion that such feelings represent self-delusion from seeing and expecting certain things aided by a tool that

They could add “Verified Human” checkmarks to GitHub. You know, charge a small premium and make recurring millions solving problems your corporate overlords are helping create. I think that counts as vertical integration, even. The board’

It makes sense to attribute human characteristics or behaviour to a non-reasoning data-set-constrained algorithms output? It makes sense it happens, sure. I suspect Google being a second-mover in this space has in some small part to do with
