Everything you say compfort me in the fact this is going to be bad. Everything I read in the article about generics compfort me in the fact this is going to be bad. Example: first you agree with me "its already easy to write bad code

I cant believe they are moving forward with "generics". Programmers on average already tend to make things more complicated than they should be. Now every single module in the ecosystem is gonna use more abstractions, generics to

Something to consider is that, as a survival mechanism, a child copy his parents behaviours. It mimicries his environment in order to survive. We all do a lot similar than our parents and familly. Those habits are also very hard to unlearn.

Well I just tried to use glassdoor to try and grasp how it is to work at apple as a software engineer. Glassdoor is terrible. I think there is a business opportunity here. Make a site just for developers. Hackerdoors or something.

Tiny correction: it's 320x240 also called mode X [0], an undocumented VGA graphical mode discovered by Michael Abrash which made him famous at the time. One of the big advantage of the mode X is that the pixels are square, unlike mode

I told a friend who knew absolutely nothing about computers to go and type format c: on the school only computer and wait for the result. It turned a bit ugly but we're still friend :)

Dont raise money just because it would accelerate your growth because it will be a completely different life for you. Here is how I would think about it. If you're happy with what you have right now, I wouldnt change anything. Dont rai

So, reading here what I understand is that startup stocks/options/whatever are worth nothing because this is a private company, an opaque box with many tools to screw you. Anyone with a different experience? If you had a positive

The 10x programmer is a silly myth. The idea that someone can produce in 1 day what another competent, hard working, similarly experienced programmer can produce in 2 weeks is silly. You know, 10x is an optimistic number here. Some progra

20-30%? Yeah thats bad and I know why. You guys think you are producing cars when in fact you are designing cars. Ask yourself the following question: what would you do if you were managing a tier 1 soccer team? Would you treat every player

I absolutely believe the importance of this specifically because the desktop is failing at that in todays standard. In other words, maybe there is an apple or microsoft to be created around turning android or ios devices into work stations.

My bro and I just bought our first PC, a cyrix 166+ and were playing doom when a friend of his shows up with a floppy and says: "my 3d engine is lagging on my PC and I dont know why, can I try on yours?". What he showed us was the

Your hindsight here sounds really great. Congrats on the launch. I only worry about one thing. Many entrepreneurs dont realise that even games follow the killer app economics. All software do because software sucks by default. In other wo

Entirely fair question I think. I'd add that execution can easily be the difference. Notably french startups generally have poor execution. For example, the entrepreneur in France generally has to get loan on his own person, indebting

Wooah the video is so hacker-cool. I would add a little mention on your videos to tell it's not CGI ( real life/world footage or something), it might add to the impact and make it tiktok ready. Speaking of tiktok, might be an int

Nowdays, I make the distinction between maintainable programs and hackable ones, the later of course being, imo, way better. What I mean by that is essentially that the ratio # by-design features over simplicity of code of the hackable prog

I once worked on a project at a FAANG where we had to run an app on a 600Mhz CPU with no FPU. Javascript (v8, spidermonkey) wouldn't cut it (for some reasons function calls where very slow amongst other things). While Lua was incredibl

Oh I think I have a method for you. Ask yourself the following question at least once a day for 5 days: is it pleasurable in my head right now? Just ask yourself that question, this is the method. It is magic. It will activate your natura

My own observations. (note this could highly vary from country to country as well) Thanks for your comment. My guess would be you are just not trained to see those behaviours. edit: note this is surfacing in the game and movie industries ri

Most people and parents are harassers not knowing they are harassers. Most parent treat their child as a possession as well, being the root of abusive behaviours. All of those things are difficult to explain for the average person and diffi

That's interesting thanks. I guess there is a limit to the price of IP. Say if the glasses cost $0.50, can you sell that $400 really?

On that matter, I think (just a not-so-well-informed opinion but still plausible) most countries should urgently protect their software development industry and dramatically reduce taxes on those companies. Because the day US/China aut

There is a YC startup from a recent batch that want to salvage and solve that.

I think this is revolutionary though my guess is it will not please everyone.

Another feedback I would have is Fly through your work. Yeah I love that, flying is zen and green. The browser that makes you faster and better at working on the web. Faster and better at working? What experience is that exactly? A burn

Congrats, I think you are working on something very important. Recently I watched the Ds conferences with Steve Jobs to get a new eye on them. At some point he explains that the minute the user get to see the file system, the learning curve

Well apparently it's taken people out of poverty in Nigeria. Now I agree it's a tax problem. Coulnt smart contracts solve that?
