The author teaches AI workshops. Nothing wrong with that, but I think it should be disclosed here. A lot of money is riding on LLMs being financially successful which explains a lot of the hype.

Just Zed (if AI features are a requirement) as far as I know. But to elaborate, they’ve found a niche simply by using Rust and rendering the GUI in a performant way on the GPU. I’m not saying performance is the only thing, but for a chunk o

The language tends to affect everything, but to give a quick Developer example there’s Zed. Developers use it because it’s fast. Same with Sublime Text. Your criticism makes more sense with products targeting non-technical users though. But

I’m really sick of constantly seeing cloudflare, and their bullshit captchas. Please, look at how much grief they’re causing trying to be the gateway to the internet. Don’t give them this power

I appreciate their honesty. After a quick look I’d give another point to Pocketbase for it’s admin UI. The TrailBase one is pretty sloppy (on mobile at least), and looks like it’s using bootstrap. Pocketbase has a sense of quality/care

RealityKit is pretty cool and the replacement it seems. Still Apple only though, and I find the feedback loop slow/frustrating due to Swift I find SDL3 more fun and interesting, but it’s a ton of work to to get going.

Every recent release has bumped the pricing significantly. If I was building a product and my margins weren’t incredible I’d be concerned. The input price almost doubled with this one.

I submitted this and unfortunately it is likely AI generated. The authors github history suggests it at the very least, along with seemingly misunderstanding a reference to a Zig language feature (labeled blocks - https://zig.gui

I was pretty skeptical too, but it looks legit to me. I've been doing Zig off and on for several years, and have read through the things I feel like I have a good understanding of (though I'm not working on the compiler, contribu

All of this started before ChatGPT. There are graphics showing it, sorry I can’t remember the source. I guess I’m just annoyed that everyone in the comments is reaffirming the AI is stealing jobs narrative, but half the studies coming out s

Sorry but LLMs aren’t good enough to hide that your comment is slop. It’s funny I can tell you’re using Claude by the phrasing as well @dang please see this and other comments by this user

Tier 5 requires domain expertise until we reach AGI or something very different from the latest LLMs. I don’t think the frontier labs have the bandwidth or domain knowledge (or dare I say skills) to do tier 5 tasks well. Even their chat UIs

I think they are the same, Observable or Observer pattern both require a manual subscription, and publishing is done through a callback offering the latest in a stream of values. See https://github.com/tc39/proposal-sig

This also means API usage through Claude Code got more expensive (but better if benchmarks are to be believed)

One interesting thing that most non-systems programmers don’t know is that memory and cpu performance have improved at completely different rates. That’s a large part of why we have x times faster CPUs but software is still slow. The system

A setup like this seems perfect for a little shed to code in that has solar power. I've wanted to build something like Roald Dahl's writing shed: https://youtu.be/AsxTR09_iWE?t=294 for a while. I live in a climate

This regresses the incentives back to what we had with search engines where what I need (answers) and what OpenAI needs (money from ads) are at odds. Search engines used to be very useful too until the endless profit a/b testing boiled

I just ran this through a simple change I’ve asked Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1, and it fails too. It’s a simple substitution request where I provide a Lint error that suggests the correct change. All the models fail. I could ask someone with no d

Dang, I was really excited about this too. I guess I'll either stick with sqlite-vec or give turso another look. I'm not fond of the idea of a SQLite fork though. Do you know if anything else I should take a look at? I know you us
