Might be a vocal minority. I used to visit SO every day, several times a day, for like 10+ years, got so much value from it and would not have changed anything to the site. "AI Overview" in Google completely killed it tho and I do

> but the enthusiasm on the ground is lacking Using claude and friends takes all the fun out of the job, so I'm not surprised engineers are not enthusiastic. It's cool for 1 month then you realize we went from solving problems

Also, it's obviously faster to copy Slack 1-to-1 than inventing it from scratch. Making Slack was not just coding.

It's quite remarkable that a chrome extension can just update overnight and start injecting adware (or worse) and not a single warning from chrome. I shouldn't have to read hackernews to find out.

I've been playing exclusively CRPGs for the last 12 months or so, which was kinda a niche genre before the success of BG3. There are tons of way to beat those games and optimizing how you build your party and characters (what players c

That's a bit dishonest, the consensus on HN seems to be that LLMs are very good at oneshotting small projects from scratch. Especially when using super mainstream technologies like html and tailwind, as does the discussed website. And

Yes we agree, my comment was for tailwind users. :) I was replying to you because you gave the example of a Button component, and it's a good example to demonstrate that you don't need tailwind to style components.

> If everything in your code is a React component, I get why you would just want to write the styles right there. Even for keeping the style close to the component, you can just use standard css. Create a folder Button, create two files

What infuriates me the most is iOS being absolutely unable to detect which language I'm currently writing in and automatically replacing words in one language to another. I write in 3 languages on a daily basis and it's making iOS

Do we know what model is used by Google Search to generate the AI summary? I've noticed this week the AI summary now has a loader "Thinking…" (no idea if it was already there a few weeks ago). And after "Thinking…"

Every single day 80% of the frontpage is AI news… Those of us who don't use AI (and there are dozens of us, DOZENS) are just bored I guess.

I'm always surprised to never see any comments in those discussions from people who just like coding, learning, solving problems… I mean, it's amazing that LLMs can build an image converter or whatever you dream of, in a language

Every Google search request triggers a Gemini request tho. Which is great… that's why I don't use chatGPT at all, having a LLM summary + a list of websites to deepen the search if I need, is just a superior user experience IMO.

A $10 fanny pack from Uniqlo or H&M looks better than this thing and is also more practical (can carry other stuff, keys, wallet, etc) https://static.standard.co.uk/2023/01/19/10/uniqlo%20header....
