This is functionally impossible in much of modern society.

Super cynical. Those people hold outsized power, but they are not invincible by any stretch of the imagination. We hold the power in that we elect the public officials. They care about what we think also.

Yea agreed. I just wanted to find out what an "eng crit" was and why Figma enjoyed using them. Just couldn't get through the fluff to anything of substance in time, gave up.

Looks neat, but how on earth is "Goqite" meant to be pronounced?

Good luck! I do think there’s real value here, and have often thought about building very similar stuff

It's an interesting/useful concept and most big tech co's I've worked at have some form of this internally. But I think it's a little dangerous to market this as "feels like local functions". It glosses ov

Woof, yea that sounds really, really dangerous.

That’s just cheating in school. Not an integral part of the software engineering toolset as the article claims.

There is a bug in the Roku app where if you close it and then re-open quickly it will hang on the profile login screen every, single time. Have to go back to Home again and re-open the app. Seems dumb, but I have 2 little kids and they both

This is strange to come with a $29/$99 monthly fee. Is there a market for folks who want to produce hundreds of logos a month? I’d gladly pay $5-10 for an AI logo though.

I’ve had it enabled for months across both Javascript and Kotlin codebases and it’s…fine? Good enough that I leave it enabled. But only barely. I’m certainly not orchestrating a dev team. It has probably the same productivity boost that int

Just to play DA (I generally agree with your take) - lots of corporations invested into "blockchain" before realizing it was kind of useless. We are seeing tons of corporations now invest into AI, but there's a very real argu

This pops up here every so often. Photopea is one of my favorite pieces of software of all time. And the 1 guy who runs it does very well for himself.

Great example of how "anchoring" techniques work, even if by accident. A month ago talking about raises in terms of Trillions would feel insane. But with Sam coming out of the gate with 7T, suddenly "under 1T" seems chea

Tbh I completely disagree with this statement. Even extremely simple CRUD has unique data modeling, validation, storage and scaling, deployment, UI/UX concerns, etc A very, very small percentage of software falls into the category of “

All of those examples are still just repeatable processes. The machines aren't making decisions independently and then executing complex tasks based on their judgment. Not saying we'll never get there with AI...but it's a fun

This is the first thing I thought of when I watched Casey Neistat’s VP review. He was obsessed with using it out in public, in NYC, where other reviews are in living rooms. I immediately imagined enhanced store signage, with dynamic, person

I run into this all the time w/ engineers I work with. I always tell them the story of the mechanic. The mechanic works tirelessly every day fixing Toyota Camrys. For years on end, he stares at broken Toyota Camrys. He knows every bolt

One of my favorite books. Changed my whole worldview (and I already had a positive world view before reading). I've recommended this book to people probably 1,000 times.

Is that a real problem to be solved? Do you switch languages in an existing project that often? When you do, do you just copy/paste your config files or do we have to rebuild them in whatever config language the new language uses?

by rco8786 3y ago
I don’t see why you can bundle a YAML parser but not a Javascript parser > Config shouldn't be difficult to write Couldn’t agree more! In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s hard to parse. Because that’s what computers are good for. Wha

Is that mutually exclusive with using your normal programming language as a config language?

It's super common in the south nowadays. I grew up similarly, and had light bars on my trucks/all my friends did/etc. But we weren't driving around town with them on.

I didn't compare the tech sector now to the tech sector in 2010. Not sure where that came from. I'm saying that having 0% rates for 10+ years resulted in a lot of behavior that is largely impossible in a normal non-zero environmen

I've said this on here before, but I think we're about to see an explosion of "cloud exits" and a healthy consulting demand for companies who want help doing so. Cloud was a ZIRP, unless they drastically change pricing a

Anecdotally this seems to be true, if only because companies that aren't actively doing layoffs are at least restricting hiring. Unemployment can be low statistically, but for those 10s of thousands who find themselves unemployed it se
