Dismissing anyone who isn't already aligned with your world view as "just cope" seems an unproductive strategy to having a discussion. If I won 100M, I wouldn't work the exact same job - I'd probably move into an

It seems like you're trying to tell me that I don't actually enjoy my work? That seems observably untrue from my perspective? If you don't enjoy your work, that's fine, but trying to tell people who do that they actually

Surely we can have a better discussion on this topic than "everyone who disagrees with me is insane".

It also doesn't make any sense; it feels as if the overview was written by AI and not double-checked by a human. And you can verify this by scrolling down the page and seeing how the writing quality drops off after the comparison table

Ah, so this is what the Sonic model that Cursor had was. I've been doing this personal bench where I ask each model to create a 3D render of a guy using a laptop on a desk. I haven't written up a post to show the different output

The thing you are doing wrong is asking it to solve hard problems. Claude Code excels at solving fairly easy, but tedious stuff. Refactors that are brainless but take an hour. It will knock those out of the park. Fire up a git worktree and

Thanks for the explanation! That's a very nice pattern. > I just wish that this was the ONLY way to actually do it I completely agree.

If you want to be more charitable, you could say "Rust library design is superior to the Web API library design", and I'd say you were right - particularly for crufty stuff like .href which was designed decades ago.

by johnfn 1y ago
I'm not as familiar with Rust, but isn't there still a gap? For instance, if we modified window.set_href to have move semantics, wouldn't this still work (i.e. not produce an error)? let win = window.set_href("&#x2

Genuine curiosity: how do you know that software is in a recession? What measures do you use to determine this? And how do you know that the recession is not AI driven? I don't think it is either, but it's more of a feeling; I&#x2

That’s a good point. I actually modified my comment because I assumed everyone would take for granted that no work should be done in a setter :) > A function which never returns to the caller doesn't fit into the overall picture. Hm

I think Rust is awesome and I agree with that part of the article. What I disagree with is that it's the fault of Typescript that the href assignment bug is not caught. I don't think that has anything to do with Typescript. The bu

This kind of reminds me of `--dangerously-skip-permissions` in Claude Code, and yet look how cavalier we are about that! Perhaps you could extend the idea by sandboxing the browser to have "harmless" cookies but not "harmful&

I'm curious which models the OP is using that produce code so quickly and accurately? I mostly use Claude Code, which is accurate, but it isn't very fast. I certainly don't feel like I'm producing piles of code with it.

I naively went onto Gemini in order to try to use the new model and had what I could only describe as the worst conversation I've had with an AI since GPT 3.5[1]. Is this really the model that's on top of the leaderboard right now

Out of curiosity, how come LibreOffice has .buckversion, BUCK, .buckconfig, etc? This commit[1] does seem to indicate using Buck to build at one point, though it is 10 years old. [1]: https://github.com/LibreOffice/core

Phone calls while driving are pretty clearly in the Overton window of 'safe things you can do in a car', and it doesn't seem a priori obvious to me that this is worse. Though I do agree with you that in an ideal world people

It's funny you say this in the context of the article, which is effectively 'parenting' smartphone use across all citizens of Toyoake.

Thanks for breaking that down. I think I would disagree a bit with both. It doesn't seem a priori evident that producing a bus factor of zero is bad. For instance, using a library which is not maintained has a bus factor of zero. That

by johnfn 1y ago
I do think this is a problem. But the article goes one step further than claiming it's a problem - it claims that a bus factor of 0, and by extension, vibe coding, is "fundamentally flawed". I don't think that a bus fact

by johnfn 1y ago
I think that's moving goalposts. The original post never talks about vibe-coding mission-critical software - and I wouldn't advocate for that, either. The post says that all vibe coding is fundamentally flawed.

This fork has around 20 net-new commits on it. The Zed repository has around 30,000 commits. This is a wee bit premature, no?
