I think it's because people are building agentic flows, reducing the amount of developer seats needed. It's the first step towards usage based pricing.

At one point, 20 years back, I was joking that The Netherlands should quit the EU and join the USA as the 51st state. Lot less appealing in the current political climate, but for technology it'd be great. My point was that the constitu

It's a best-in-class real time collaboration board. It's also a decent general purpose diagramming tool, but if you're using it for creating software architecture diagrams or product flows, there are better tools for that.

I have some friends there. Morale in the company was very very low. There were multiple rounds of lay-offs and management went AI crazy. They were desperate to live up to their extreme valuation from 2022. "We have to be the future of

Ingesting the whole codebase in their cloud and then maintaining indexes of where everything lives and what already exists. Not sure if that's where they are going but that's what I feel looking at some of the beta functionality a

The tide is turning though. I was using the old non agent view in cursor every day for about a year when I built my startup with it. Then Claude Code blew it out of the water. But since two month or so I much prefer Codex and Cursor with th

At Comper we have a very hot key-value store for annotating git data. We maintain a parallel git-blame data structure so we can do incremental "git blame -w -M -C -C". Typically a very expensive operation, but if you make it incre

I think it's just to signal that prices will go up in the future.

Same approach here. Sometimes it's hard to debug. "Why is this weird test failing for an unrelated change", but I have to remind myself that it's a real concurrency bug that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. Worth the

They just cancelled a train from Amsterdam to Munich for me and never replied to my form for a refund. I called them about. Had to spend 600 extra for a sleeper instead.

IMHO you can remove the "good" and "except when". DB is 30% of the time a frustrating experience, which I've noticed makes me want to avoid it, even though I love trains. Trains in the rest of Western Europe are pre

Very cool, this is the first language I've seen that has effects/permissions annotated. When reasoning about a bit of code, types and effects are two things that help me grok it. However, there are a lot more. Like: how much memor

Super happy user here! It's an excellent piece of engineering. We're running a fork that supports a "sidecar" server for running multiple integration tests against. So if any tests that need the server are included, it s

I'm showing this page to my team and investors every couple of weeks. Visual, animated explanations are MUCH better than textual content for deeply grokking something. This is what we're trying to build for large software systems.

I've been thinking that there might not be new programming languages. The amount of code in the current popular ones will explode, so that's what all LLMs will be trained on. Good luck coming up with a new language and getting eno

I was at a conference in Frankfurt, traveling back to Amsterdam with my cofounder and got stuck in Oberhausen. We have an early flight tomorrow and there's no trains in NL due to a strike tomorrow morning, so we decided to take an uber

we do a very comprehensive scan in multiple dimensions: git blame history, llm passes over every file and a tree-sitter analysis for cognitive complexity. We bring our opinionated approach for tools (do you have linters, CI/CD, static

Ugh same. I had a 49g and a 49g+ in high school. The 49g broke down and the other got robbed when my student room got burgled a couple years later. Learned a lot of RPN programming on those things! I saw one in the wild a couple months back
