You've left out an absolutely massive swath between "low level systems" and "crud app". There a lot more to the industry then just those two things. And as productivity rises, the complexity and ambition of the proj

Yesterday we get a "report" from an AI company talking about how much faster you can go with AI. Today we get an AI code review company telling us how much buggier that code is. It's almost like companies that want to sell yo

Jon can be really interesting to listen to, especially when he's talking about Jai. But he can also be such a fucking tool that I can never listen for long. I've known plenty of people like him. Clearly smart, but have spent too m

It's even worse once I realized what the company was. Of course they lead with the most BS metrics that could most easily be sold to some idiot exec to justify buying their product.

That question has been baffling product managers, scrum masters, and C-suite assholes for decades. Along with how you measure engineering productivity.

It shouldn't be taken with a pinch of salt, it should be disregarded entirely. It's an utterly useless metric, and given that the report leads with it makes the entire thing suspect.

What about gpui? The Zed teams GUI framework? Edit: Oh, my bad. I thought they open sourced it separate from Zed. Looks like they are still tied together.

I think your emoji pop up thing looks better then Telegram's. There's has way too much animation with all the emoji bouncing around. Yours was nice and clean.

Yeah that aggressive sycophancy is incredibly annoying. Someone telling me I'm being a fucking idiot is more useful then "what a fantastic observation! You're so right" for the millionths time. Even using it to spitball

In addition the industry has been going through a massive correction post Covid, and all the free money drying up. Any impact AI is having is all mixed up with that. The expectations for juniors, and how seniors work with them, will certain

A guy at work did a demo of an agent work flow for some higher ups (we have chatbots but haven't adopted agents yet). He raved about how after writing a several hundred line spec, being extremely specific about the technology to use, a

I'm confident I can learn it, but the whole ecosystem drives me nuts. It's always a bunch of shit spread across a ton of small file, at least three different "languages" between JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, frameworks or o

From the outside the project honestly does look kind of dead, what's your take on the development and community?

Imagine spending that kind of money, and even if everything goes perfectly, your still stuck with fucking Workday at the end.

The Roc programing language is being developed because Richard Feldman wanted an Elm like experience in more places then just the front end.

by scuff3d 10mo ago
I get the sentiment. He feels like everything he wants is there so it doesn't need much more development. But it still feels off.

I've considered playing around with it. Every now and then I tell myself I'm gonna learn front end dev, but as soon as I start looking at it (FE in general not Lustre specifically) I get depressed and give up lol
288.
by scuff3d 10mo ago
Yeah I'm not a front end dev but I do kind of keep track of what's going on in that space. From what I saw it seemed Elm was all but dead. Maybe that's not true, but that was the impression from the outside looking in.

Gleam is a great language. It didn't click for me when I was trying it out, but I'm glad to see more people enjoying it. And I wonder if Gleam + Lustre could become the new Elm.

by scuff3d 10mo ago
This is a fair enough point, but you should also try to keep that tree as small as possible. You should have a damn good reason to make a new service, or break an existing one in two. People treat the edges on the graph like they're fr

By the 90s/early 2000s C/C++ were the only widely used languages that met my criteria. Rust is the first "modern" language to meet that criteria while simultaneously offering memory safety. If you could afford garbage co

I'm not on the Rust bandwagon, but statements like this make absolutely no sense. A lot of software was written in C and C++ because they were the only option for decades. If you couldn't afford garbage collection and needed direc

This has been an extremely common tactic for a while. When they can't attack something head on because it's either politically impossible, or because it would actually be illegal, they got at it side ways. Prior to Roe v Wade gett

There's also the problem of the people who are either too clever for their own good, or not nearly as clever as they think they are. Either group can produce horribly convoluted code to perform relatively simple tasks, and it's ir

Jesus Christ. The crypto and NTF hype cycles were annoying too, but at least they weren't trying to convince everyone the blockchain was alive.

I think a good compromise between a DI framework and having to pass everything individually would be some kind of Context object. It could be created to hold an Allocator, IO implementation, and maybe a Diagnostics struct since Zig doesn&#x

I usually work in a VM hosted by my company. But the performance is really starting to irritate me. Been considering switching to WSL2, but last time I checked all they supported was Debian based distros, and we do all our work on RHEL8. I

The other problem is that very very few people actually know how to design a microservice based architecture. I've worked with half a dozen different teams who claim they're building microservices, but when you look at the system

I know some folks were disappointed with their being 12 puzzles instead of 24 this year, but I never have time to finish anyway so it makes no difference to me lol I'm just glad they're keeping this going.
