Exactly, I'm a back-end engineer and I vibe-coded that in a couple of hours: https://erwan.github.io/sovereign-cards-database/ I could have learn all the frameworks to make it, but honestly I wouldn't have bo

It also doesn't owe your CEO billions for hovering over a company where other people (like you) do the actual value creation.

They're not innovations like TCP/IP, Linux or Postgres, they're innovations like compilers, syntax highlighting, and IDEs.

I suspect some devs don't want AI to succeed - and it's understandable, as it will fundamentally change the way they work, and possibly put them out of a job as we need less developers. So they convince themselves AI can't wo

I've tried both, I prefer OpenCode. I get that Pi is more customizable but I prefer a nice, complete out-of-the-box experience and that's what OpenCode provides.

by eloisant 6mo ago
What issues do you have with OpenCode? Personally I use it for the TUI, it's way better than Claude Code's one.

by eloisant 6mo ago
Also Claude Code is one of the worse CLI, the only good thing is that it's the default for Claude. I don't see why anyone would want to use it for any other model than Claude instead of OpenCode or Pi.

What software used "Atom" before 2005?

by eloisant 6mo ago
It did catch on, pretty much everything that supported RSS also supported Atom. It's just that they both fell out of fashion when social media decided they prefer to keep their users captive than accepting interop.

by eloisant 6mo ago
To be fair, Atom the XML Feed, similar to RSS (linked here) is probably the oldest one. It's from 2005. Now why a spec from 2005 is in the front page of hacker news, I have no idea...

The point is that we should start by working on the bigger waste. If agriculture represents 1000x the consumption of AI, even cutting the AI water usage by half would have the less impact than reducing agriculture water usage by 0.02%

It depends on the juridiction, it might not be legal or enforceable in Norway but it definitely is at least in California. There is the famous lawsuit of Mattel suing Bratz, on the basis that the Bratz creator started to work on his new dol

In the rest of the world "public school" vs "private school" is pretty clear, I think you guys in UK are the only one to call private schools "public school" and public schools "state school".

My father was in electronics and schematics of pirate decoders were being passed around between friends/colleagues (this was before the web!) He got the schematics and built one. Later in the 90's, when TV cards became cheap enoug

Also there isn't one profile of software developers. At least 3 tiers: the FAANG level, the mid-size tech companies, then all the developers working for non-tech companies/administration or in IT service companies. Even in those c

Why people always dismiss the European option? Mistral is right here, their models are in-between the cheap to run Chinese models and top of the line performances of US frontier models.

Yes, this is cargo cult. This remind me of so called "optimization" hacks that people keep applying years after their languages get improved to make them unnecessary or even harmful. Maybe at one point it helped to write prompts i

OK, you did it again! Exactly what I'm talking about. You think that without religions we're just selfish calculating bastards. We're not, I promise.

"Millionnaire" is meaningless. There is a huge difference between someone with a net worth of 1M (owns a small home, still needs to work for a living) and a net worth of 30M (can get more than 1M per year of capital revenue withou

It's also something that has nothing to do with religion. I am always surprised to see how religion people sometimes think you can't care about other people or your family if you don't believe in a bearded guy in the sky.

It's really early to see if the current layoff wave is just a lean time like the dotcom burst or 2008, or if it's really they end of tech as a low unemployment, high paying profession. Yes AI can change the situation durably, but

They're using the code intelligence from the IDE to run the AI, while Claude Code only does greps. AI coding is much more than just the model - all the tools that human use in IDE are also useful for AI. Claude Code on the other hand j
