That's the catch -- a team would need to care enough about quality, or don't at their own peril.

I think if you were to scale that kind of usage across a reasonable team size, costs would start to add up fast — and possibly beyond the cost of paying another engineer every year, especially if a lot of your teammates are new to AI, or ar

True, but you'd be surprised how much you can tighten up a codebase by asking a heftier model to do a security review and suggest fixes.

This is correct, but part of the issue is that it significantly increases token usage costs. Some companies are doing: - PRD and spec fulfillment review - code review + correction loops - security review + corrections - addl. test coverage

And yet, this is exactly what my last job's engineering & product leadership did with their CEO at the helm, before they laid me off. They vibe-coded a complete rewrite of their products in a few months without any human review. Hu

I'm not sure I would do the marketing site justice — but check it out, they compare themselves to Discord in their introduction video, it's well done!

How's that vibe-coding going, Microsoft? You replaced a perfectly good text editor with AI slop and this is the result — who could've predicted that?

Don't forget Flotilla Social! TeamSpeak also has a newer client, but its design decisions are a little odd. Still worth checking out though.

This is such a huge mistake, Discord. Hopefully enough people put a lot of pressure on them to reverse this.

Dang right we do. And the problem isn't even the Junior Zoomer devs running circles around seniors. It's the CTO or Engineering VP himself disappearing for a few months and single-handedly consolidating a handful of products into

It's funny you say this because this is considered the "old" way to use LLMs since agents can write code so well, but I don't think enough people realize how much more efficient your preferred approach is compared to the

Not sure why this is getting downvoted, but you're right — being able to crank out ideas on our own is the "killer app" of AI so to speak. Granted, you would learn a lot more if you had pieced your ideas together manually, bu

Agreed. I hate to say it, but if anyone thought this train of thought in management was bad now, it's going to get much worse, and unfortunately burnout is going to sweep the industry as tech workers feel evermore underappreciated and

You touch on an aspect of AI-driven development that I don't think enough people realize: choosing to use AI isn't all or nothing. The hard problems should be solved with our own brains, and it behooves us to take that route so we

I think there's a certain kind of irony in being asked externally to enjoy the rubbish I've been given to eat. It's still rubbish.

Big shocker! Gotta love the collusion between government and big tech, it never ends, and our 4th amendment will ever be infringed through these loopholes -- and all will carry on not caring enough about it.

Ah great point, I need to give this another shot and confirm. I only switched from 17 to 19 in the last few months here.

I forgot to mention in my other reply, but if you find yourself needing to render a massive list performantly, check out TanStack Virtual. It's a godsend!

Speaking of which, is there a Tailwind CSS equivalent for React Native? I find passing `style` objects around (ala CSS Modules) to be a pain after using Tailwind for so long in web projects. EDIT: Found one that's going v5 soon, looks

I've used React Query and Zustand extensively in my projects, and unfortunately Zustand suffers from the same issue in cases where you aren't dealing with async data. I'm talking about React state + data that's already a

by docmars 9mo ago
I'm with you there -- I use React more than Vue day-to-day since most companies reach for it before anything else, so it's ubiquitous. Most devs simply don't have a choice unless they're lucky enough to be in the driver

My issue with React Context is you can only assign initial state through the `value` prop on the provider if you need that initial state to be derived from other hook state/data, which requires yet another wrapper component to pull tho

by docmars 9mo ago
I think it's a matter of taste and preference mostly, but I like Vue's overall design better. It uses JS Proxies to handle reactive state (signals, basically) on a granular level, so entire component functions don't need to b

When they started adding new hooks just to work around their own broken component/rendering lifecycle, I knew React was doomed to become a bloated mess. Nobody in their right mind is remembering to use `useDeferredValue` or `useEffectE

Holy smokes, took them long enough after pledging to remove them how many years ago? The capacitive touch buttons for climate control and media have been a complete disaster. Changing anything while driving was a recipe for an accident, lac

Agreed. The very end of the article also names off all the usual cookie cutter nonsense as well. These people just can't help themselves to inject activism in everything they do, and this is why so many people are turned off by otherwi

Ah yes, signed at the bottom with all the cookie cutter political takes of a mentally insane progressive still clinging to the culture war they just lost. I wish I could downvote this post harder.
