I used to agree with the anti-Leetcode sentiment like the OP, but changed my tune fairly quickly once I started doing actual production-grade software engineering that goes beyond just simple CRUD and realized the things that Leetcode tests

This is a great comment. I may wipe my Windows machine a 10th time and try again, but I'm sticking with Linux for now.

I love these kinds of comments. It reminds me of the Reddit threads of people complaining about bugs on Cyberpunk 2077's release, only for people to reply with "I played the game, I didn't run into any bugs! What bugs are you

This is great, but can you fix Claude 3.7 and make it more like 3.5? I'm seriously disappointed with 3.7. It seems to be performing significantly worse for me on all tasks. Even my wife, who normally used Claude to create interesting r

Windows is bafflingly bad. It's gotten so much worse in the last four years, but it's always been bad. I've never gotten bluetooth to work correctly on Windows. Apps randomly crash. Three different versions of settings pages,

Just tried it on OpenRouter and I'm surprised by both its speed and its accuracy, especially with web search.

I'm actually finding Claude 3.7 to be a huge step down from 3.5. I dislike it so much I actually stopped using Claude altogether...

This is a bit disingenuous, no? None of these have actually taken off.

Why would you ever have 100,000 entities on a page? What is the business use case for this?

I can’t find a single example of what a Nue app looks like. All I can find is pretentious claims about how Tailwind sucks and other outlandish claims.

Can you show me? You keep talking about Google search and yet haven't brought up a single example.

I’m playing devil’s advocate. Again, I worked with Go in a production setting for 3+ years and didn’t need to do any code generation. Maybe my use case was simple… or maybe it’s unnecessary.

Have you ever used Golang? I have not needed to use codegen once.

That's right; but a lot of packages, like Superforms, use stores.

As much as I appreciate Svelte, the React devex is unmatched. I built a client-side app using Wails with Svelte 5 and I found myself wanting React's seamless devex and vast ecosystem. Once I migrated over to React it was like a huge ha

I frequently yell at it and yell expletives. Maybe says a lot about my personality?

The new Cursor update (0.47) is cursed. They got rid of codebase searching (WTF?) and the agent is noticeably worse, even when using Sonnet 3.5. I'm really shocked, actually. This might push me to look at competitors.

I wouldn't be asking if there wasn't a visceral reaction from Rust devs. I must have missed previous discussions on other threads.

> Especially just how worse langdev UX in Go is compared to C#, F# or Rust. Can you explain why the DX in Go is "worse"? I've seen the exact opposite during my professional work.

> Go has an ad-hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of a decent type system. It's not lost on me that this is a widely used aphorism. The problem is that it's not true in any way shape or form.

I'm really surprised by this visceral reaction to not choosing Rust. Go is a great language and I'd choose it for a majority of projects over Rust just based off of the simplicity of the language and the ability to spin up develop

C# needs an interpreter (.NET runtime) while Go compiles down to a binary. And the toolchain allows you to compile for other architectures fairly easily. So that could be a fundamental reason why.

I don't understand this comment. Without caching, you'd be at the mercy of the geolocation company. I've deployed a service that does exactly this.

I'm really surprised that the pendulum has swung so far in the other direction that people are recommending not to use Redis. Sure, don't introduce a data store into your stack unless you need it. But if you had to introduce one
