This kinda puts it in words, most of us naturally expected 2025- LLMs to be able to generate OSS / demo / high craft code. Not messy commercial one.

Long ago working for a retail store chain, I made some excel DSL to encode business rules to update inventory spreadsheets. While coding I realized that their excel template had a bunch of cells with whitespace in them on row 100000. This f

thanks a lot for the story. I used to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to create work groups that didn't force people into hiding their true needs, pride, creativity and efforts... but I really didn't have a minute lef

Along our career we often make compromises. I don't on something hostile to users but I surely stopped having pride on my work, partly to keep collecting a paycheck. Management, team dynamics.. are all influencing the path your product

I remember steve yegge complaining about using brain and computing so sell clicks. I wonder how many people would do the same as Sid these days.

saw a screenshot as I was reading this article, made me eager to try it, and it's indeed simple, slick and featured... elegant look and feel for a different age.

In a democracy, corruption is seen as the moral exception (if not impossibility), when it happens it's a bigger wound than in autocracy where the baseline is lower.

Anybody using cursor or antigravity ? I tried them a bit and often they can infer immense amount of ideas from the immediate source context and suggest paragraph patches semantically close to what I had in mind from just one word. Saying th

Maybe we're entering the non-deterministic applications too. No more mechanical predictable thing.. more like 90% regular and then weird. Slightly sarcastic but not sure this couldn't become a thing.

Sorry for this sounds absurd, but with diffusion language models, who generate text non-linearly (from the few that I get, they relate terms without a simpler order), I wonder if new syntactic ideas will come up.

Was asking on mastodon if people tried leveraging very concise and high level languages like haskell, prolog with 2025 llms.. I'm really really curious.

It's been a few months since gemini 3 and opus 4.5 were released and I still regularly have feelings of dread in me because I'm deprived of something (which I assume is the thrill and pride of being able to explore solution spaces

We need a new pair of words to distinguish these two mindsets. Digging deep, finding abstractions, solutions that would say more with less .. is one kind of fun. Other people want to see the magic happen by doing few keystrokes it seems, th

Lovely. I wonder how many people did similar things in their own django instances because the lack of embedded monitor is often a source of friction.

Crazy to think that Fortnite might unleash a new population of people who toyed with functional-logic as their first paradigm.

This is the first thing that I used LLMs on. Not code generation, but parser and tooling to gain understanding. Also saves resources in the long run.

there's a similar story by kragen on .. hmm HN or maybe SO where he describes a bootstrapping from a micro hand crafted asm monitor to forth to more and higher level languages. "stuck-in-a-basement" kindof challenge.
