As the saying goes, half the internet runs on Wordpress. Aside from a nuclear incident like an auto upgrade that permanently breaks all of the sites, it'll continue to be used. Maybe Matt is counting on this?

The problem is they would most certainly require a CS degree to apply (if it's left to the bureaucrats), which would be the barrier.

In the frontend dev land, there is a constant tension between user experience(UX) and developer experience(DX). Providing good UX with HTML/CSS/Progressive enhancement usually means less-than-ideal DX. And good DX with JS framewor

I wrote a tool to automate this. I point it to DB and folders I want backed up, it automatically takes backups, encrypts and uploads to R2, and verifies it both automatically and on demand. Consider using a backup SaaS if you want a hassle

Building in public is not a single, defined activity. Nor people doing it has the same motivation for it. Some share numbers, some don’t. Some share everything, some goes with outlines. Some… you get the idea. I do it because it’s boring to

Everyone sets their own routine. I charge it every morning when I start working. Takes about an hour. It is manageable, but really sucks.

Yes, I know about all of them but at that point just running qdrant becomes preferable from a cost/benefit standpoint for my use cases. Edit: Just noticed we had this discussion on X with you already.

Filtering issue also prevents shared database multi-tenant setups, which is a blocker by itself for many. I would love to not having to run another service for vector search, but it's just not there yet.

It's not just about efficiency. I don't have the means to hire a junior right now, but 20$ is a no brainer.

Yes, and they will get better. Billions are being poured into them to improve. Yet I'm comparing these to the problems I solve every day and I don't see any plausible way they can replace me. But I'm using them for tasks that

Software engineering contains a lot more than just writing code. If we somehow get AGI, it'll change everything, not just SWE. If not, my belief is that there will be a lot more demand for good SWEs to harness the power of LLMs, not le

That’s the funniest piece of writing I’ve read in a longtime, thanks! I wonder what they were thinking submitting the paper.

That's an interesting platform and interesting thread. I don't believe you can reliably protect secrets that LLMs has access, as this thread promptly shows. Too many undetectable ways to go around. But it can help for other, more

It was some of the best years of my life, perfect storm of time availability and means to play it. But it really is addictive once you give in to it. I was playing 10+ hours per day, every day, for months.

This was a good read. As a former WoW addict, I barely stopped myself from undertaking implementing one for myself. This is not an area I'm familiar with and I always assumed this kind of work would involve concepts that are foreign to

Closing the lid and putting it into the bag has the same effect for me. I've my own ritual for preparing myself for the "I am done" phase. Doing the last commits, writing down a few sentences on what should I do when I go bac

If I leave it on sleep for a long time it dies also. But it's perfect for playing games in short breaks, especially with kids. I can immediately drop it when one wakes up crying and return back to it a few hours later and pick up where

That's a good idea. I'm not keeping it as long nowadays.

It's solved, perfectly.

One of the top reasons I'm staying with MacBooks. It's not unusual for my laptop to have hundreds of days of uptime. Going back to shutting down everything every time I close the lid is unusable for me at this point. Whoever fixes

My bet would be on some compounding error from long usage also. I'm using Apple Notes and it fails in some random ways after keeping it open for 1-2 weeks: When I try to copy something I select, it copies some random stuff, dragging te

SqlAlchemy was the reason I've stayed with Python all those years developing line-of-business apps. When you are pumping out an app every 2 weeks, you don't have time to manually write SQL. It's comprehensive, it's sane,

I looked into it but some libraries I've been using wasn't compatible with AOT. I'll check it again when I have more time. Thanks.

It’s great for web application backends. Switched to it after 10+ years of Python. Couldn’t be happier. Binaries will be huge tho compared to Go. I’ve a few CLIs that I that I my customers need to use, I’m planning to rewrite them in Go for

Yeah I sometimes use them but they don’t cover all the cases. I’m waiting for roles/extensions to see if I can achieve a similar result. https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions/5496
