MCP is stateful and would benefit from a "live" connection, whereas HTTP is stateless and request/response based.

Thanks for publishing this. Can you also share your opinion if you compare the "code to spec" vs "spec to code" phases? I'm wondering if the LLM considers "code" and "spec" as two separate progra

You're right, TUIs had mouse support. This is a TSR, and exits to shell after running, so there's a mouse cursor visible without any app running. Like, there's nothing to "click" :)

Ok got it, I think I can relate to your feelings if someone assumed that I use TypeScript or React ;) I got the courage to ask because I felt that you sounded open for a bit of self-introspection. Thanks for taking the time to describe some

That's clever!

Creative use case for a TSR :) The classic "fun" TSR use-case was to make an app that installs an interrupt vector to decode mouse hardware "events" directly from the RS232 port before exiting via 0x21h, so that DOS scre

Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone. That said, I'm genuinely interested in understanding why you felt that way, is using VSCode considered something to be ashamed of or something, is it because it's a Microsoft product? PS:

I made a live demo of the concept a few weeks ago; it's such as simple but powerful hidden feature of HTML: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43179649

As a side joke regarding vim; I have a theory that my exposure to typewriters as a kid prevented me from adopting vim as an editor :) Pressing the letter keys for anything other than typing feels so weird to me. My brain might still be th

HTML is underrated. Most of the screens we look at daily, including our code editor are HTML pages.

RE: Quick iteration cycles - definitely agreed. Back in my EE days in 90's, "full stack engineer" meant, for example, being able to build a physical calculator by connecting a numerical keyboard, bunch of 7 segment displays a

Your code is such a fresh air after being subject to a decade of bloat. Thanks.

Great work! Thank you for making this. This is beautiful and brilliant, and also is a great visual tool to explain how some of the fundamental algorithms and data structures originate from the physical characteristics of storage mediums. I

I worked like this. You could have phrased it better.

You're right. Coming from my own startup to Microsoft, I worked the same way for quite a long time. Huge regret.

I used to sell small business apps on floppy drives. For copy protection, one of the best tricks was to physically damage a sector and try to format it. You take a floppy disk, use a pin to make a hole on the magnetic medium at a random p

In your situation, I'd focus on rephrasing my existing skill set in such a way that it emphasizes how I can help solve the current problems with scaling AI deployments. As for the "where" - keep an eye on growing AI startup

Good old times :) I miss F1 help, which was usually very good and contextual. On a Settings dialog? Press F1 to view help just for that dialog - offline, instant. For me, Norton Commander specifically, among other TUIs, was very influential

Nice example. If I were that person; from my perspective, I could say the EXACT same thing about my frustration with LLM. That's my mental model, I am trying to make my AI peer to build something and it is complaining about not knowing

What is your mental model when coding with Cursor? When I code with with AI assistance; I "think" differently and noticed that I have more memory bandwidth to think about the big picture rather than the details. With AI assistance

I have heard a few times that "being nice" to LLMs sometimes improves their output quality. I find this hard to believe, but happy to hear your experience. Examples include things like, referring to LLM nicely ("my dear"

Such an inspiring book - I still have it by my desk :) I bought it because they covered Joel's FogBugz and 37Signal's Basecamp (I was building a competitor product back then).
