As an expert who uses LLMs daily on my field of expertise I’m not looking forward to dealing with works created by people who were taught by them. They are wrong far too often to be used for any sort of learning in my opinion. You can feed

The idea behind agile is to sell you training and later consulting once your organisation fails to adopt it in any meaningful way because it’s principles are so vague your culture, will, get it wrong. It’s saying that the people behind the

I think it could also be a sort of protection from customers breaking things leading to bad press. As you point out repair shops will be capable of doing repairs just fine, but your average users will probably think twice about getting the

I think JS can quite nice but it requires some rather tight control over how it’s used in your teams. If you don’t do that then it’ll be a nightmare, but that freedom doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t make it a fairly decent experience. I

I don’t mind products from China as long as they live up to EU regulations. If they are resold from places like Temu and similar then they’ve been found to be out right dangerous in some cases and in most they don’t live up to any of our sa

I got so frustrated trying to find some shelves recently that I ended up building them myself. It used to be that I could use Google to find some furniture stores, but now they all require me to throughly vet them to make sure they aren’t j

I remember Bjørn Lomborg telling us not to worry about climate change back around the millennium. The main reason was that we’d invent tech in the coming 20-30 years which would completely take care of the problem. I guess he still has a de

I think programmers are in the perfect profession to call LLMs out for just how bad they are. They are fancy auto-complete and I love them in my daily usage, but a big part of that is because I can tell when they are ridiculously wrong. Whi

Maybe, it if you’re studying the way humans use language you’re still getting human made data from rubbish. There isn’t any value in AI generated content is what you’re cataloging is human language.

This is cool, as a place which uses Typescript for a lot of things, including back-end services we handle it differently. Basically we have a rather strict linting process setup which will warn developers of unused code in development envir

I’ve always found Python to be sort of loved on HN. Not by everyone or course but I guess it depends on each of our experiences on here. I’m usually rather surprised when I meet people who genuinely dislike Python, because that seems like s

I think it’s a little condescending to call them token interactions. They can be, but they also don’t have to be. I’ve worked in teams which were like little families while they lasted. I’ve had co-workers become real friends whom I still s

I think it mostly happened when HN became flooded by Reddit users. One of the reason I think this is because of how HN and Reddits way of dealing with new lines is different. In a lot of the comments on HN that I would consider to be fittin

Isn’t that sort of the point? It makes the argument impossible to dispute. If it’s not slow or big-ridden, then it’s just not sufficiently complicated. Which you’re correct to call out. I think what makes it work is that Common Lisp very qu

You realize you can change the default memory stack on go routines right? I mean, I’m just going to ignore anything you say going forward as this stalking of you is beyond silly, but at least get things right.

Thank you for the answer. It’s exactly because of C#’s excellent tooling I was wondering if they had done similar for F#. > The whole ecosystem has to be a net gain in productivity, or stability, or security, or maintainability — pick yo

I’m not sure Microsoft counts as off the shelf software because of the way licenses are structured, but if you buy a windows enterprise with office365 for your organisation it’s easily a few millions a year. Even for relatively small enterp

We use GO (with templates) and HTMX for internal apps in enterprise which is completely tied in Microsoft. It’s a much better experience than Blazor. I think that any productive language (think what you would likely have used Python for) wi

I’d like you to elaborate on how an app with no external dependencies has the same line or vulnerabilities that an app which pulls literal thousands of external dependencies. Even if you still use Node/Bun/Whatever as your core bu

HTMX pairs incredibly well with something like Go’s templates. Giving you the “what you’d want react to be” experience for many scenarios. I imagine it’s similar with other languages with good templating engines, I just know it’s extremely

I prefer it because of location. The error handling happens where the error occur. It makes large systems much more maintainable in an enterprise setting. It’s not like exception handling and throwing around things to have them caught later

I think the issue is far more psychological than technical personally. One of the issues we struggle with for our junior developers is that they are far more likely to believe an LLM than what they might find Google programming. I do wonder

Explicit error handling is a choice and implicit error handling through exceptions is not necessarily a feature. Both have advantages and disadvantages, I’d say the more “modern” approach actually the opposite to what you state here, and is
