The best company that could have acquired them. A rebirth of Apple professional tools is desperately needed. Hopefully this is the start of more attention in that direction.

The only fix for that is discipline. You can't automate away quality. The best people/teams understand that and make good docs a feature requirement, not an afterthought. My favorite example is Stripe. They've never skimped o

Just write the docs. A simple template: - What is it? - What does it do? - Why does it do that? - What is the API? - What does it return? - What are some examples of proper, real world usage (that don't involve foo/bar but instead

Just fill needs that you have. Don't like how something existing works? Fix it. Think you can offer a better version of an existing idea? Go for it. Also: ideas are far less important than execution [1]. That's why it's best

Probably even simpler. Give the full context and then add the text selection as an additional message step/context of what to edit.

This is getting embarrassing. I was a big fan of Matt's before this whole charade started but he's basically flushing 20 years of goodwill down the drain for not a whole lot in return. As best as I can tell this is all over a trad

If you want to take it for a test drive, Parrot is free to try and works with any language (~200+ languages and frameworks supported), not just JS/Node. I'd also be happy to give you some extra generation tokens to push the limits

Depends on scope, but Parrot is tuned to decently one-shot a lot of stuff. For example, I need to implement HTTP/2 in my JS framework and was curious about what the code would look like. Here's the result from the following prompt

Is there a term for tech companies rushing toward the future? It seems like there's this cultural rushing toward a future that isn't quite here combined with a tendency toward gaslighting that it is. Not for the sake of planting a

No Docker for starters. I played with Dokku a long time ago and remember it being decent at that time, but still too confusing for my skillset. Now, I just build my app to an encrypted tarball, upload it to a secure bucket, and then create

Strongly disagree with this. Toasts/alerts/etc. are a valid form of feedback in the UI. Inline feedback can be helpful/good (e.g., the copy/paste example in the article), but it can also be confusing if applied incorrect
