The problem is that everyone has a different opinion. If you let a single user drive the design then that single user might love it, but everyone else will hate it. Bespoke designs are often really terrible. Have you ever shopped for a hous

If he's using AI to write that documentation (like everyone else) he'll soon find out why that doesn't work out in the end.

Our reduced attention spans are just adaptation to a world filled with meaningless distractions. Imagine how crippled you would be if you felt compelled to follow every comment thread to its end. We're just monkeys looking for the good

If your product needs a tour your product is badly designed. Imagine you walked into a convenience store and the owner was like "Hey you need to take the tour first!"

It's a double-edged sword. Two million lines is a major feat. It's also represents a significant maintenance burden. The advantages to Haskell are theoretically obvious. The downsides are harder to intuit. The temptation is to mod

In practice this just doesn't happen because you've composed a bunch of pure functions with various branches within them. You lose the ability to log "why" some effect is happening.

Haskell is primarily a bunch of type gymnastics designed to give the impression of "purity" when no such thing exists in the world.

Better yet don't write the post at all until you actually do something. "I'm going to become a vegetarian" vibes.

Seems like the only people using pirate bay in 2026 are "privacy obsessed" rich middle-aged guys. I think they do it mostly to feel young and edgy.

This is exactly the problem I see today. And it's not just a volume problem. Mediocre devs previously couldn't complete a project by themselves and were forced to solicit help and receive feedback along the way. When all managers

You're right. For years the real impediment to "AI" products at many companies was the sheer crappiness of ML frameworks which were built by and for grad students, not professional engineers. When LLMs appeared it was just so

It would be useful to predict things like earthquakes and tornados. Gambling on what politicians and celebrities will do is not science it's degenerate court gossip.

As you can see by downvotes and comments, they still don't get it. LLMs make developers more efficient. That much is obvious to anyone who isn't blinded by fear. But people will respond "but you still need developers!" T
