This is what ChatGPT and GPT4 are good for, iterating quickly in an unfamiliar ecosystem. Picking up frameworks now feels like a ChatGPT superpower. It doesn't remove reasoning and I've seen some scary bugs introduced if you&#x2

I don’t think it will be if history is any precedent. Look at self driving in the mid late 2010s, the rate of advancement lead some otherwise smart people to make big bets that autonomous cars were right around the corner and we were going

This is exactly me. I have a 2017 27' iMac that's really starting to feel sluggish. I've been holding out for a new iMac but I have a new Studio on the way in a couple of weeks.

I personally like that truenas scale has a small kubernetes installation for adddons. Makes it stupid easy to write my own addons or integrate something like truecharts.

APISIX has a similar architecture as most of those products, it's just that it's specific to APISIX where the control plane is kept separate from the proxy and it configuration is pushed. The envoy management API is standardized

It's marginally faster than Envoy and lighter on features. I personally would stick with Envoy

The Reddit app is a worse experience than users currently have on mobile with 3rd parties. Reddit let this go on for years and has now decided, without warning, to make the product worse for a lot of users including myself. I use Apollo to

Yeah I think Reddit is different things to different people. I personally spent a lot of time in hobby subreddits and in my city's local subreddit which at times was really an amazing way to find out about all sorts of cool events. Pe

I'm not saying it's a good idea to IPO but if Reddit shows a 25% increase in ad impressions and minimal loss of users this might end up being better. Personally, if I were in charge with Reddit I'd go for an approach that req

Yes but unless they’re well moderated they’ll turn to crap. There’s a lot of moderators out there moderating by hand and using bots to run some of the bigger subreddits, much like IRC. Without those bots having access to the APIs, that job

We're not close and it probably doesn't really matter. I mean, yes I want a real world Jarvis but that's not really what's important. What's important is that AI will quickly replace toil in white collar work. Unf

Back in the 2010s these things were all the rage in systems where you used XML in combination with technologies like WS-Security (i.e. signed SOAP requests). I suspect these things are still all over the DoD. I remember all sorts of fun i

I've had really good luck with gRPC + protobufs for generating solid client side code. Swagger + REST never seemed to deliver what it promised but then again, neither did SOAP + WSDL.

Amazon along with Google and everyone else way overpaid for tech talent the last few years which has made it a lot harder for small companies to compete. My company lost a lot of engineers of varying quality to big tech companies.

I think most folks (perhaps not here) misunderstand is that writing code is the easiest part of a software engineering job. Anyone can write code in their little piece of the system, write some tests to prove it works and move on. Given e

This is a claim I hear repeated both in meatspace and online from people who I generally regard as really smart. I agree that AGI is quite a ways off.

Yep, this type of thing happens all the time in ChatGPT. I've more than once had ChatGPT suggest that I use something deprecated and sometimes if you poke it and tell it it'll figure it out but I've seen it make the same mis

ChatGPT is a massive accomplishment but in my personal opinion it feels a lot closer to a search engine with a better search interface and missing data attribution. I've been using ChatGPT in my daily life for months at this point, I

I very much disagree the sentiment that adding mTLS is just “verifying the certificate on the other end of the connection”. You ignore the process of distribution and rotation of certificates which is non-trivial to implement application s

We’re the process of moving all of our services over to a service mesh and while the growing pains are definitely there, the payoff is huge. Even aside from a lot of the more hyped up features of service mesh, the biggest thing Istio solves
