100$ a year for a dev in Sweden - that's like money you wouldn't notice if it got lost in your pockets - and I am sure it cuts down on spammers and covers administrative cost. I have no problem with a store having a small admissio

EU is chucking subsidies to farmers to (among other things) spend on this kind of stuff all the time, around here it's not uncommon to see totally unproductive small farms with hundreds of thousands in tractors and machinery. It's

But that's the thing - if I have an ops guy who can cover this then sure it makes sense - but who does at an early stage ? As a semi competent dev I can setup a terraform infra and be relatively safe with RDS. I could maybe figure out

To be honest I don't trust myself running a HA PostgreSQL setup with correct backups without spending an exorbitant effort to investigate everything (weeks/months) - do you ? I'm not even sure what effort that would take. I c

Productivity and performance are not the same thing. You can be a top performer on a project that flops and you're a net negative. Ideally you'd get transferred to a more productive role but there are a lot of variables involved.

So at what point are you doing more work on the agent than working on the code directly ? And what are you losing in the process of shifting from the code author to LLM manager ? My experience is that once I switch to this mode when somethi

PC costs a lot and depreciates fast, by the end of a console lifecycle I can still count on developers targeting it - PC performance for 6+ year hardware is guaranteed to suck. And I'm not a heavy gamer - I'll spend ~100h on games

I disagree - current gen console aren't enough to deliver smooth immersive graphics - I played BG3 on PS first and then on PC and there's just no comparing the graphics. Cyberpunk same deal. I'll pay to upgrade to consistent

That's runtime performance, I'm taking about compile times.

I wouldn't even put C# in there - minute builds are like nothing unusual, and my only experience with Java is Android but that was really bad too. They aren't C++ levels bad, but they are slow enough to be distracting/flow br

You do understand that you don't replace a 100k developer and call it a day - you have to charge the same company 100k for your AI tools. No model is nowhere near close today - they are having trouble convincing enterprises to pay less

>Just the disruption we can already see in the software industry are easily of that magnitude. WTF ? Where are you seeing that ? Also no you can't calculate 100k over 30 years as 3M because you expect investment growth - lets say st

If you calculate the investment into AI and then divide by say 100k that's how many man-years need to replace with AI to be cost effective as labor automation the numbers aren't that promising given the current level of capabili

AWS is everything from GPU farms and AI services to S3. I would be shocked if S3 had less than a 100% margin at sticker price. These guys had one of the most important prerequisites to make going on-prem easy - they didn't care about c

You can control how much RAM gets allocated to the Docker VM and I keep that at 2GB which is not that much. I am not running stuff inside docker locally just using it to boot up stuff like pg/rmq/redis

I mean the obvious proof that claims are false is AI tooling companies that are no better at standard software development than the rest of industry (at best). Given their access to models, tooling and insane funding/talent - they stil

No it has not. Despite the praises it is getting here it still looks like the programmer art, which fits with a certain crowd, but if you are (like me) into the Gnome/Mac type of look - its still gives Windows XP vibes.

Syntax sugar is language syntax that improves a common pattern from the language (making it sweater). jsx, async/await - things that just abstract common patterns.

Thank you for doing it ! What was the motivation behind it/when did you start building it ? I never built anything with it but reading through the source code got me to learn so much about programming. I probably spent more time copyin
