What a waste. In the decade he's been flailing around over this, he could have attempted multiple businesses and likely become moderately rich and at the very least been of service. The only good outcome I see for him is giving up and

You know, I actually don't think so. Gabe Newell famously said piracy is a distribution problem, so a court would likely have to acknowledge inadequate distribution methods hampering AI development. This gives great precedence for cons

Devcontainers[1] are the new incarnation of this pattern. We use them at work and they are a dream for onboarding new developers. The only downside is the VSCode lock-in but if that's a concern there's always DevPod[2]. [1] https

I agree with this, though the article presents an unfortunately realistic issue within larger orgs: optics. Glue work is ultimately a bet and convincing management that doing said work will result in magnified/bettered future outcomes

I would go even further and say SDKs shouldn't exist and API developers should ship OpenAPI 3 specs so SDKs can be generated by users. OpenAPI tooling is pretty good at the moment.

I think the dichotomy of script kiddies versus hackers applies aptly to modern developers. Some developers learn their frameworks and libraries and enough of the language to be productive (script kiddies), whereas some have a keen interest

It's surprising that this happened at all. Isn't it in most business's best interests to be aware of their most high-profile customers? If this was an automatic process, it's pretty disappointing that it even occurred. I

I'm sure a lot of effort went into this, but I would rather raw dog my database layer with node-postgres/postgres.js and zod. The decorator heavy implementation is visually very busy. Also, I would not consider any SQL toolkit for

I feel the reason the system web-view is eschewed in these frameworks is because you have no choice but to maintain compatibility with 3-4 browsers: Edge/IE on Windows, Safari on Mac, and Firefox on Linux (usually).

Copyright and patents actively stifle innovation. I think a statute of 5 years for both is acceptable. If you fail to be commercially viable in 5 years it probably wasn't on the cards but at least someone can learn from the work and co

And it's also not great when companies that are positioned as implementation open source and cloud closed (read: AWS/Azure/GCP reseller) also construct strange licenses that are inherently against traditional OSS values.

Well, their website seems to suggest it does. I will mention though, that plugin converts them automatically without intervention and does a pretty flawless job.

I think responsibly developed AI (read: no copywrite infringement) for automation could help the industry tremendously. However, don't get me confused, generative AI imo has no place in games, furthermore in art as a whole.

Probably never, or maybe much much farther in the future. Cooperative tasks aren't really a priority from what I've heard. It's still a low-level language like C with high level ergonomics.

Not what I'm advocating and certainly not REPL. When I'm talking about a live environment, I mean something _like_ Pharo [1]. I'm arguing against long compile and deploy loops, not formal verification. [1] https://
