I’m kinda in both camps. I can make multiple times more proof-of-concepts than ever before, which is awesome. Especially for internal work tools. But then I rely on it too much, and I don’t really know how the thing works, and it makes it h

I’m kinda getting off topic here but anecdotally: I’ve tried to get so many of my friends to learn programming. I love it, and I think a lot of em would love it too. But they hit a hard wall with the patience needed to self learn. Like the

I use it constantly in helix too. The vscode one is meh. I think I saw a discussion in github once about switching to tree-sitter, which would improve AST-related actions. I don't think it went anywhere though. I love AST aware editing

Your comment reminded me that a blog post. It’s by the same guy that wrote “programming sucks”. I’ve been sharing it a lot recently lol https://www.stilldrinking.org/stop-talking-to-technology-exe...

SO excited for this release!! Babashka is the best addition to my toolkit in years. Making small tools and scripts for work is just a blast. Throwing a TUI on top is going to be turning some coworker heads. I was actually recently wanting a

Delivering a product is one thing. Continuing to upgrade it and maintain it indefinitely is another. Good quality code makes it easier to make improvements and changes as time goes on. Doesn’t matter if you’re a human or an LLM. Also, has a

Last year I finally caved and tried to sign up for instagram. It's tragic but it's almost like a second internet. So many small business and bands only have instagram. So many lil communities post their events only on instagram. I

There’s a whole new genre of blog posts that are just “finally thanks to AI everyone will know how smart I am. Watch in awe as I tell something to do stuff for me”

I’ve also been a little suspicious of the vote counts these days. Pro AI stuff regular hitting like 800 votes. The codex announcement hit like 1500? Like what’s goin on here

It didn’t seem entirely AI generated to me. There were at least a few sentences that an LLM would never write (too many commas).

On a similar note, I have never heard the phrase “higher level abstractions” abstractions so much. Everywhere I look, higher level abstractions. It’s becoming one of those phrases I have an instant reaction to. The word “abstraction” used t

I know everybody just wants to talk about Postgres but it’s still sad to see any sort of engagement with slop. Even though the actual article is essentially irrelevant lol

It’s got that LLM flow to it. Also liberal use of formatting. It’s like it cannot possibly emphasize enough. Tries to make every word hit as hard as possible. Theres no filler, nothing slightly tangential or off topic to add color. Just man

What's making these models so much better on every iteration? Is it new data? Different training methods? Kinda waiting for them to plateau so I can stop feeling so existential ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's a good point! Here claude opus wrote a C compiler. Outrageously cool. Earlier today, I couldn't get opus to replace useEffect-triggered-redux-dispatch nonsense with react-query calls. I already had a very nice react-query w

> And it's also somewhat egotistical it seems to me. I sense a pattern that many developers care more about doing what they want instead of providing value to others. I use LLMs a lot. They're ridiculously cool and useful. But

Try to find a slideshow app that just plays photos as a slideshow. The first 10 results are all the same app with different skins. You try to make a slideshow and after adding 10 photos it wants you to upgrade to a $10/month SUBSCRIPTI

I think a lot about something I've heard game devs say. Something like "players will always find a way to optimize the fun out of the game". Controversial example: in Breath of the Wild, your weapons break really fast. But, t

I feel like our whacky world is only made possible by fossil fuels. Like why is it profitable to - build these vapes and sell them for a few dollars? - tear down an entire house, rebuild a new one from scratch, and sell it? - ship things a

Yeah it’s funny how “Java runs everywhere” was a huge selling point of the JVM. But now it’s not even included in macOS by default, so if you want somebody to use you Java/clojure CLI they have to install Java. And that will raise eyeb
