I never thought about it that way, but that matches my experience with my own kid.

Read the about page ( https://plainframework.com/about/ ). This Show HN post doesn't seem to be by the author and it's not presenting the project in a good way in my opinion. I also don't like the agent fr

I'm not very good at counting lines of code, but it seems like it's slightly less than Django. From a cursory glance the main difference I saw was that only postgres is supported, not necessarily a bad thing.

UPDATE - should this be a Show HN? This isn't posted by the author and there are better links to share with more info about the who, what and why: https://plainframework.com/about/ From the Show HN guide/rule

People talk about AI getting things wrong all the time, why is it "so clearly irrational" to be doubtful of a recipe that might include ingredients that can make you sick?

Another comment [1] has a solution - a new tool called pit, it just throws the whole 10k loc PR in a pit and forgets about it :p [1] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47713650

Is it unrelated though? > Today, with Git, we're all teaching swarms of agents to use a tool built for sending patches over mailing lists. That's far from what is needed today.

Honest question - what are the main benefits for you when you use it in docker? ps. I feel like I've been doing python so long that my workflows have routed around a lot of legit problems :)

The open source ecosystem has come very far and proven to be resilient. And while trust will remain a crucial part of any ecosystem, we urgently need to improve our tools and practices when it comes to sandboxing 3rd party code. Almost ever

The thing that has always stood out to me about WordPress, is that you can get a site up without any of the usual technical steps I associate with creating a site, but still have access to the innards of the site. Does it often go wrong, su

I view every single line of code as a liability, the best solution is if you can avoid writing any code. Does that put me into group 1 or group 2?

That sounds better. I assume the stakes are low enough that you are happy reviewing after the fact, but setting up a workflow to check the diffs before pushing to production shouldn't be too difficult

I say amusing because it points out that something I (and many other people) assume to be basic clearly has a lot more nuance to it.

It's tough to not interpret this as "I don't care about my website". Do you not check the copy? Or what if AI one-shots something that will harm your reputation in the metadata?

Yes, thankfully! It's amusing to read what they say about fetch on nodejs.org [1]: > Undici is an HTTP client library that powers the fetch API in Node.js. It was written from scratch and does not rely on the built-in HTTP client in

You would think that sending HTTP requests is a basic capability, but I've had fun in many languages doing so. Long ago (2020, or not so long ago, depending on how you look at it) I was surprised that doing an HTTP request on node usin

Yikes! I had a scare once, and since then I only run sandboxed code or scripts I've written with minimal 3rd party deps. I assume you have other mitigations in place?
79.
by dirkc 7mo ago
I guess that could be useful. I don't have many standalone python scripts, and those that I do have are very basic. It would be really nice if that header could include sandboxing!

Yep, the speed is nice, I can't argue with that!

Do you run those projects on the host system as your normal user without any isolation?

by dirkc 7mo ago
I suspect that my normal workflows might just have evolved to route around the pain that package management can be in python (or any other ecosystem really). In what situations are uv most useful? Is it once you install machine learning pac

While the license is important, it's the community that plays the key role for me. VC funder open source is not the same as community developed open source. The first can very quickly disappear because of something like a aquihire, the

I like your interface for switching between the backgrounds and having a small panel to tweak the parameters. I played around with procedural patterns using SVG/canvas/webgl a while back and this makes me feel like re-packaging th

I can't remember the exact phrasing, but I read somewhere long ago that what you read now, you become in 5 years from now. As in, right after reading something, you think and deliberate about it, but in 5 years from now that becomes pa

Not 100% sure this isn't sarcasm, but I'll bite. For me (a non-early career dev) these projects terrify me. People build stuff that just seem like enormous liabilities relying on tools mostly controlled and gate kept by someone el

Yes, you should have a website if you have a business or you wish to maintain any public footprint on the internet. But it is both simple and complicated to setup a website these days. For a technical audience there are great tools/opt

Are your coworkers producing the code using LLMs? And what level of trust do you place in them?
