Can we say that being a functional language makes it easier for AI to understand and write cleaner code? Basically, there are no mutations of input data and I guess somehow that makes it easier for the LLMs to understand and keep a track of

I only remember Atom being painfully slow. It was using Electron too btw.

by princevegeta89 1y ago
+1 I've explored Atom when it was the hot thing, and more recently, an IDE called Lapce, which is built in Rust and doesn't use Electron. They've been great, but the lack of an ecosystem stares glaringly right at your face.

Initially I thought this guy was trolling, but seems like they do have a team and he shamelessly boasts about it everywhere. Not sure what the rush and urgency is, but it is disappointing to see such lunacy in today's corporate world.

I will give you one reason why I don't like it much: - The push to use Github Copilot and no option to disable that crap. I wish there was a fork of VSCode with all the telemetry and all of the proprietary crap disabled with 100% exten

I replaced. My opinion: Cursor sucks as an IDE. Cursor may have a average to above average quality in IDE assistance - but the IDE seems to get in the way. It's entire performance is based on the real-time performance and latency from

"do those motivations keen the current students similarly uninformed?" I am afraid that is still the case. All of the kids I know within my cousins' families (8-14 years of age), have no idea about any of the Holocaust stuff.

I will give you some context here - in my high school (India) we were never taught any of the million horrible things Hitler did to people. We were only taught that Hitler was a very prominent leader and an icon of history that always won w

I don't understand... what is the privacy concern with Framework Laptops? All hardware used is transparent and replacable. Software is the user's choice, and many users go for Linux. It is as transparent as you can make an OS to b

I think this is a great product overall and many people have had great things to say about it all the time. However, I still felt concerned with possible dependency on the network and the lag that can come out of it. For that reason, I hook

Actually I found using just VS Code with Roo/Cline and/or Windsurf etc. along with OpenRouter to be just as good as Cursor, if not better. Cursor seems to be really good at doing the TAB completion and it seems to work well... unt

Great to hear. I agree - all the react/SPA bloat along with other layers like Vite/SSR/Webpack etc. is not needed for 95% of the apps today. Any MVC framework with HTMX, JQuery (yes)/Hotwire/Stimulus/Turbo, etc

I have a very extensive experience with both Ruby on Rails and Elixir/Phoenix. Also ended up building large full-stack apps on either framework. In the beginning when Ruby on Rails said hello to me, I instantly fell in love with it and

OP, you don't necessarily have to give back to the same people that helped you. You can help others in need, and that good karma always stays. For example, if you have $100 to spare every month, find charity organizations local to your

I hate Apple products for this. I see this pattern across all apple products - not one. On my mac, I setup my touch ID, and log in to my Apple account on the App Store. Time and again, when I try to install apps, it keeps repeatedly prompti

I am not hiring engineers that won't agree to that, actually.

Well, let me tell you: jobs and independent/solo projects are very different. Jobs run on the idea of extreme commercialization and some politics. When you're building small products though, 90% of your ideas are engineering-centr

This is the case at many teams in almost all companies. One sad reality is people want to keep their jobs and so they tend to inflate stacks and codebases so much so that they can "keep working on things" for a long long time. Sor

Front-end is now a cesspool of numerous complex layers that try so hard to work with each other, all while only trying to deliver mostly the same kind of experience from 10 years ago or older. Many big companies and startups blindly jump in

Last time I checked I heard the compile times were still awful. And the entire community lacking some basic packages and enough developers that it still made it hard to find support or help for issues one may encounter.

Sure, this was a few years ago. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but all the other existing and new engineers on my team have expressed a lot of concern about the entire paradigm shift and that Elixir was unnecessarily complicating thin
