>If bend2 does not use what right to exist does HVM still have? What? This is such a weird comment.

I felt the same way with fp-ts then effect in typescript. Pretty cool libraries and I learned a lot about FP while trying them out for a couple of years, but a lot of ceremony and noise due to them (especially effect) almost being a new lan

>No I'm not, I'm just sick of these edgy takes where AI does not improve productivity when it obviously does. Feel free to cite said data you've seen supporting this argument.

I was thinking about this as an approach for a side project to build in order to (speed up) learn elixir/phoenix for work. While the old-school forums dedicated to specific topics work (why re-invent them?) I was thinking of a "t

Meh, I used to have that feeling, especially when discovering fp-ts and then effect (neither of which I've been paid to write), but after about four years, I'm tired of writing it period. The standard library for node is horrible;

Okay, how am I supposed to use them "correctly"? Because me explaining step by step, more so than a junior developer, how to do a small task in an existing codebase for it to get it wrong not once, not twice, not three times, but

Do you have actual data showing cursor (or any LLM) is a massive productivity benefit for coding? What are the heuristics?

Is it not a bit weird to freely give give away your entire code base (I assume it's personal, not your company's, but maybe I'm wrong) to an entity like Google?

Have something else write code for you to be a better programmer? Yeah.... no, that's not how it works

It's been refreshing to read these perspectives as a person who has given up on using LLMs. I think there's a lot of delusion going on right now. I can't tell you how many times I've read that LLMs are huge productivity

Or someone who has been a developer for a decade plus trying to use these models on actual existing code bases, solving specific problems. In my experience, they waste time and money.

To be more clear, it's operatives of the Heritage Foundation who now work in the government putting this into place. Does anyone think Trump actually does much day to day? He often seems completely unaware of what's going on in hi

I think the point is you could just.... write the code yourself.

I've had the same experience as the person to whom you're responding. After reading your post, I have to ask: if you're putting so much effort into prompting it with specific points, correcting it often, etc., why not just wr

I'm in the same boat. I've largely stopped using these tools other than asking questions about a language that I'm less familiar with or a complex type in typescript for which it can be helpful (sometimes). Otherwise, I felt

I'm not sure if you've been reading the news at all, but I would guess no? The most talked about has been USAID -- namely because they started with it, which is odd because it's one of the smallest government programs and Mus

I can't speak to that (I'm about a decade in). I have read some things, but they're anecdotes and the majority of people who find a decent job out of college probably aren't going online to talk about it on reddit (compa

I might suggest a third option, which I pursued. Found a job at a public university system in my pre software development role. Received tuition remission and worked full-time while also going to school part time (online) -- my job would co

I've played around with sst v2 and now v3/ion for side projects and like it a lot. Is there a timeline/roadmap for supporting the languages noted on the bottom of the post?

I've heard this and haven't really experienced it with Go, typescript, elixir yet. I don't doubt the claim, but I wonder if I'm not prompting it correctly or something.

I'm more interested in a language like gleam, but the BEAM VM does sound appealing. But one thing I have been wondering is what is the hosting story like for BEAM languages? Is there easy tooling for deploying to something like AWS ECS

It's the percentage of people aged 25-54 (prime age) who are either employed or unemployed and looking for work. It's considered a good indicator of the health of the labor market.
