I see, yeah if you need performance then TS is probably not a good choice, but I'm not familiar enough with HFT to know if that's always needed. Maybe that's only in certain subdomains. I've just seen some talks on optim

Yes the FE is a huge mess for large interactive client apps. I think WASM might be a good alternative with bad SEO as the downside.

Unlpayable lol, jumps between 77 and 3 fps, camera doesn't rotate, and not sure where to go or what to do. It's impressive in its own right, so props for achieving that with just prompts, but I have yet to see a vibe code example

I wasn't expecting TS and HFT in the same sentence. Are you pivoting to something else with TS? Surely it's not for HFT?

I don't think it's like the Industrial Revolution yet. I think it's hype, probably a bubble and we'll see another AI winter. We're seeing people vibe coding shitty games and holding it up as a kind of prophecy of wh

Ah yes, another b.s. title designed by the corporate overlords. 10 years of school studying computers and a rigorous tests in the interview only to have your expectations be about maximizing profit or "delighting" the customer. Wh

It just depends on the use case. The "interface" could be complicated enough that it needs a full blown application with state. I would say that's the typical expectation today from users.

He's missing the bigger picture, IMHO. Nobody goes back to fundamentals because the industry is not allowing the role to do that. FE engineers don't have control over the codebase to this degree, and the expectation from the compa

It's not an experiment though. The divide is clear, you have a client application, and then server applications that the client talks to. This is even more true if you want a lot of interactivity. This line isn't going away anytim

I think there's a big part of the picture being missed here. Frontend is bad because of how the industry treats frontend engineering, and web engineering overall. Companies will make engineers do way more than just focus on the code an

> A Product Engineer is accountable for the product. This may be true, but it just means you are not a software engineer. Otherwise, where is the equivalent expansion of the roles for design and product? Are product and design accountabl

Nice poem, but there's nothing there of real substance. * AGI is not yet achieved * Current AI writes surface level code, which is impressive, but nowhere near as useful as people make it out to be * If AI was actually useful, it would

It's not "one character change", but rather fixing an amateur mistake of passing by value instead of by reference.. but they have to frame it as a "win" which ironically is why enterprise engineering is so bad to be

Sure, you're just outlining the details of why software companies are ok with bad software. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it does mean we get more bad software and bad user experiences as consumers. Everyone is f

Yes that would be a shame. I think usually those changes do get recognized but perhaps for the wrong reasons. While it's fine to recognize how much profit the business is making, the engineering role should be recognized for how well t

It all depends on the goals of the software that is written. It seems the examples shown are from the perspective of readability, and perhaps modularity (in a way that makes the code easy to understand, which goes back to readability). With

Great article, agree with all points. I feel like most "10x" engineers are just better at marketing themselves and being cut-throat when it comes to getting the credit for themselves. This is often to the detriment of teams, and i

I'm just saying it's sad how it creates an atmosphere of "fakeness" for lack of a better word. Nobody can really voice their real opinion, and so nobody is presenting their real selves. I'm also commenting beyond th

I completely agree. You can see this limitation if you try to create anything complex with the current state of the art. There is also a great video by Alex O'Connor on a simple prompt to generate a full glass of wine, which illustrate

This is why I think AI is a small bubble. It's sampling from training data and has trouble with things that are beyond the training data. The problem is that useful work is usually outside of this boundary of what currently exists. The

Somewhat agree, but the thing most forget when talking about abstractions is that the abstraction of the code depends on the abstraction of the domain. If you're building cars, the abstraction is a car factory, but this depends on know

Definitely true, and for those who are aware it should be fine. It just has effects at scale on the larger population, not to mention kids and younger people who may not be as informed.
