Sorry, but you're incorrect. If a particular product is tied to a specific proprietary tech stack, then the consumer is also tied to specific suppliers. This is known as vendor lock in. Microsoft used this approach with Internet Explor

In fact true competition is only possible via open standards, protocols and technology stacks. We need agreement to ensure the large corporations adhere to these.

We need an open web, with open principles and to prevent any commercial enterprise from dominating our social / tech sphere via monopolisation or methods of proprietary control. This isn't a surprise. A vocal minority have been sa

It's inconvenient to have to recognise that we are being f**ed in the ass by corporations like Amazon, but that doesn't make it any the less true unfortunately. It's also a damn shame that the majority of the people who are s

There will always be tangential business aims that are designed to be satisfied at the same time as the consumer benefit. To be fair though, this strategic duplicity is a technique Apple has used since Jobs; so it's not as if Google us

That thinking and understanding can be done before coding begins, but I think we need to understand the potential implementation layer well in order to spec the product or service in the first place. My feeling is that software developers w

This is the absolute reality. I think we'll need to see some major f-ups before this current wave matures.

I thought the US gov is hoping that debt is relinquished as part of negotiations, is that not the case?

I'm sure AI produced code will be unintelligible to humans soon too.

It's completely reasonable to expect it to last longer than 12 months, especially considering this is their premium model.

Trump and Musk are working according to their own fickle natures and whims. All anyone can do is guess and imagine, because of this. Everyone has to be a theory. Reason is extinct.

I suppose, if your best friend, PA or butler knew you really well, they might have a really good idea of the kind of thing you might like. If the AI has a very close link to you, and observes a lot of what you do, it might have a much clear

Yes, but then familiarity is often a positive quality. Knowing where the AC always is, could be seen as a benefit (even if you don't want to use it). By aim for iterative improvements, the system could focus on personal contextual feat

I like this idea. As an analogue to this; would each iteration adapt and evolve in the same way an organism might?

This is giving me flashbacks to the days when MS Access (and later on Visual Basic) ruled this segment of the market. It's interesting to think there's still a market for this type of small scale enthusiast application. One scenar

I support Tailwind for precisely this reason.

A good point, but unfortunately we're going to need to get used to the new paradigm. The LLM costs a minute fraction of the cost of employing a human junior developer.

It boils down to being able to walk away .. but you're totally right, most people are never able to be in that position. It's a luxury for most.

It's an educational concept. Not something you'd use in a sentence like that. I think you're being a pendent.

I would have thought the concept of 'leverage' is more useful.

Because it is more precise. 'Alternative' or 'option', leave the question 'to what?'.

Junior devs don't always understand enough to know why something should or shouldn't be done. I don't think junior devs are going to benefit; if anything, the whole role of 'junior' has been made obsolete. The rote

Great point .. I agree; education is fundamentally exercise for the brain. Without challenge, the 'muscle' can't develop. I especially agree that essay writing is hugely useful. I'd even go as far as saying, the ability

Have you seen the film Zardoz? Looking back on it, I think it could be weirdly precient. Two classes of society; one living a life of leisure, the other fighting on the plains. (.. maybe minus Connery in a mankini)

I have a similar memory. I wrote an essay about a poem. The poem was assigned to us, but for some reason the subject matter really chimed with me personally. I thought about it a lot, and—as a result—ended up writing a great essay. Because

It is no longer effective to solely use a written essay to measure how deeply a student comprehends a subject. AI is here to stay; new methods should be used to assess student performance. I remember being told at school, that we weren&#x27
