Why ask for IPO to dillute the effective investor pool if you are already making a ton of money consistently?

I don't get it. You had to face the problem of a type in a network protocol that had no direct Java equivalent, and decided, for something so low level and performance critical, to create a new instantiable Class? With the expressed

lots of contact with asian people here, definitely all look different, watch japanese and korean dramas on the regular so should be able to tell at least those. 6/18, funniest thing was to me though thinking "oh you're defini

Paper again largely skips the issue that AGI cannot be sold to people, because either you try to swindle people out of money (all the AI startups) or transactions like that are now meaningless because your AI runs the show anyway.

You are (rightfully) saying that they semantically mean kinda the same thing. That doesn't neatly fit any branding guideline though, I'm sorry.

You are shifting the goal posts here - if we work by this argument, we will never achieve anything.

If you succeed you will have also learned nothing, but would be blissfully unaware of it. (that was my reason to quit AI coding)

This is pointing out one factor of vibecoding that is talked about too little: that it feels good, and that this feeling often clouds people's judgment on what is actually achieved (i.e. you lost control of the code and are running m

except it's... all wrong: this dependency-free compiler has a hard dependency on gcc (even as it's claiming it's a drop-in replacement), it has so many hardcoded paths, etc.

Lack of control over your editor's behaviour shouldn't be acceptable on this level. Just like making tabs/spaces visible, control like this ahould be a basic feature of every editor.

Lane keeping is also tremendously dangerous, if the system gets confused on e.g. construction sites. I hated how much I had to fight the car not to swerve into the huge barriers running along the middle of the original road layout.

Over the years I feel they're all janky in different ways. That being said, especially lately the Windows and MacOS UX changes are getting less thoughtful and the design vs usability scale is going all the way to the design end.

You still live under the impression that they are able to reason and verify it. Verification is done by doing it in The Real, not your or some llm's imagination (which is all their output, at best)

I once was in the same shoes, but moved on. All of it reminds me of what people now consider more of a LLM-assisted coding fallacy: the speed of writing code and the speed of your tools (unless its abysmal) is usually not the time bottlenec
