Love it, I think dependency trees are super underused data for static analysis. The visualization here is amazing in its own right as well, can I ask what part of the codebase renders it and handled the force-directed part?

It's been amazing learning about this. From "The Little Typer" book to Computerphile's videos on dependent (and homotopy, somewhat related?) type theory, to discovering Lean for interactive (math) proof construction, the

I’ve had a big need for abstract algebra in a side project and ChatGPT 4 has been The Best tutor (on top of several books and YouTube videos). Gives examples on the spot for your specific needs in any way you want. Gives broad overviews of

Shout out to Obsidian, my most-used desktop and mobile app of the year. Absolute game changer. Hacker News showed me this and the book “How to Take Smart Notes” and it’s been an immense aid for difficult technical work, and plenty of other

React needs a new object for its hooks when you change them. We need to modify those objects, so deepClone + direct mutation on the clone bypasses a lot of annoying immutable object creation bs. ppl just destructure the whole thing anyways,

I’m hopeful this is the right answer, but I’m not optimistic it is. AI seems more like the introduction of the assembly line for software workers, minus huge blockers for physical labor. It’s not there now, but at this rate? Not infeasible

Replace? No. Highly reduce? Absolutely.

The writing is on the wall. It's not right now, but it will be in my lifetime. What are some AI-proof(ish) industries we can jump into after software engineering is drastically reduced?

We’re slowly getting back to the “I don’t know who’s right” phase of web framework “innovation”. I can at least tell that Next.js is winning on growth. More new startups are building with it according to the job boards I’m seeing, esp. comp

I agree, that course was fantastic. Unreal C++ was way less intimidating after.

Hard to explain, but in a practical sense, the jobs are half rate in comparison. People don’t want to achieve quite as much. Your best bet for ambition is a remote job from SF or NY. Not the worst if you value other things!

I’ve met plenty of people, currently remote, who suffer in a 100% remote setup, and frankly I care about them way more than the “how dare you put me around people” crowd.

I can speak to the one listed in the article: "difficult to tree-shake, which can remove unused modules and minimize bundle size." This is because of a much deeper issue: static analysis is highly complex with the near-free-for-al

Hey, it's been worth my money. If you're down to shell out some of your engineering salary for it, I've gotten a lot out of it. It's not like you're sending the money to me. I can buy cheap courses off Udemy, I can

What! I’ve never been so lucky on HackerNews. Signed up for the conference too, albeit online only.

Bought the book, thanks! Dying to learn more here, just did a semantic search project and I have more questions than it answered.

I agree, it’s so horrible. Passing flags to a compiler for some Byzantine rule just to change lord knows what, but it all works now. What on earth.

The embedding approach just seems more promising, especially after experiencing it with the Huberman Lab Q&A website posted here a few days ago
