There exist also competitors not funded by YC, like me. I won't be on any of the lists because I'm not courting agents, I'm courting humans. For me OSS is a weapon to be wielded. By making perfect software that cannot be im

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the company that invented Electron was Github, and you could argue that Github's technical investments did all pay off very richly.

I find it so weird that Trump is in bed with a communist technology. Does he not realize it's communist? Literally the proposion is to appropriate intellectual property using, "it's for the good of the many," as moral ju

Two big things: 1. Git breaks down if files are too large or lines within files are too large. 2. Add/Rename conflicts will always burn you because git does not protect the intent behind changes. And really the third is that IDE's

I promise you proof-positive that you can not only keep up with but outstrip AI advancement. Just keep learning!!! Feed yourself XP and challenges like you are playing a video game. Don't ask the LLM to mentor you, instead ask yoursel

That's what's trouble: git is reaching the end of its useful life. It's 25 years old, and the patch files that make up the core of the decentralized collaboration system are fully 50 years old. Have the design requirements an

I hate to make it sound that simple, but you can't learn to play the clarinet by hiring a teacher to practice the instrument for you. If you think you deserve to just have the answer fall in your lap, you'll never develop any real

Oh no! Whatever will we do without AI! It'll be like the dark ages of six months ago all over again. Or maybe it'll be like the reaaaallly dark ages twelve whole months ago, back when humans hadn't yet been overtaken by AGI

I think the industry has an XML-shaped hole for sure, but XML itself was still designed before about 30 years of hard-won knowledge about smart design of data languages. If you want to know how I would approach designinga language to fill X

This tracks for me as someone making keeps of intuition in little-explored areas. I just don't see any of the LLM users around at all. Clearly some force is guiding them all away from thinking any of the "leap of faith" thoug

Chinese open weight models constitute AI communism? What about all the "what's yours is mine" moral reasoning that goes into making the models? These companies get pissed off at companies distilling their models, because su

The opposite of purity is resilience. Resilience is messiness. It's waste and death and competition and nations with different currencies and systems of measure and different languages and cultures. Pure systems are stiff and brittle.

I feel bad that it seems like I'm really not in favor of this idea but I'm not entirely saying why. It's difficult to articulate. Work in tech long enough and you'll encounter the idea of purity. It is a highly useful co

If your goal is not to create communism or fascism, I just can't even imagine what this would be for. It would be a solution in search of a problem, unless the problem were a lack of authoritarian government

Such a "universal human ID" is so explosive that having it implanted subdermally would be no less invasive than what you are already suggesting. What would even be the point of democracy once privacy is gone and with it free spe

Utterly unimpressed by this. This is an argument for a future of closed source devtools. We are on the road that leads there, and this describes going further along it.

I'm content for that be the narrative. Nobody is close, and what's more it's not even possible, and even if it was possible nobody would want it, and even if anyone did want it would only be a few people. ; )

The only strategy that can work against Microsoft is a full broadside. You can't try beat them in just one niche, you have to go after the whole tech stack they offer. That's what I'm willing to try doing.

JS was already pretty close. Babel allows a fantastic degree of power in code transformation, it just doesn't preserve blank space. If I were to use my preferred terminology I would simply call these transform-your-own-code formats &qu
