using unicorn as a positive example is, well, a pretty negative signal unicorn, i.e. CGI, i.e. process-per-request, became anachronistic, gosh, more than 20 years ago at this point! at least, if you're serving any kind of meaningful lo

this is a completely fair point, it may be the case that AI scraper bots have recently made the magnitude and/or details of unwanted bot traffic to public IP addresses much worse but yeah the issue is that as long as you have something

every single IPv4 address in existence receives constant malicious traffic, from uncountably many malicious actors, on all common service ports (80, 443, 22, etc.) and, for HTTP specifically, to an enormous and growing number of common endp

I see, yup!

"character" is not a well defined concept in the context of this discussion do you mean "byte"? or "rune"?

building stuff is the application of programming, not the platonic form of it if you see programming as a necessary but ultimately annoying means to an end, that's fine, you do you, but there are many other folks who don't look at

yep! but file watcher programs, or http services, or really anything that runs on modern linux servers, are not these use cases!

simple isn't measured in terms of SLoC, it's measured in terms of cognitive complexity the article itself says, clearly, that the (short) rust program requires knowledge of a significant number of non-trivial language features, as

for projects of any non-trivial size, you should have a (local) MCP server that wraps/bridges some LSP over the local repo, so that when the LLM needs to find some identifier X, or callers, or implementations, or etc., it can ask the L

cool, can you think of any differences between a human engineer, who is presumably employed by an employer and subject to review and evaluation by a manager and inherently assumed to be capable of receiving feedback and reliably applying it

what on earth? these are absolutely trivial, toy example programs. they've got nothing to do with anything that anyone is meaningfully talking about when they talk about using LLMs for coding stuff. is this kind of stuff what you'
