Were there really such startups? It's so obviously a bad idea..

These abstractions are nice to not get locked in with one llm provider - but like with langchain - once you use some more niche feature the bugs do shine through. I tried it out with structured output for azure openai but had to give up sin

I once worked with an CTO who was under the impression that Rails was a major reason why the legacy app was so slow and demanded a rewrite in Java (that's what he knew). It deflected the real reasons - of completely incompetent product

That's also not my experience. Giro was a nightmare compared to paypal 15 years ago and the only reason it slightly improved was regulations, not because the german banks cared about the customer experience. Now in 2025 Giro is dead as

Delphi -> C# -> Typescript. This is the evolution. It has never been easier to make apps just by using a browser that runs on all platforms.

Then you haven't read deep enough into the Horizon UK case. The lead devs have to take a major blame for what happened as they lied to the investigators and could have helped prevent early on some suicides if they had courage. These d

It's not only the doctors, i have the gut feeling from my previous stint that people who like to work in the medical space are more often than not "difficult".

It seems to me that becoming a malware author is now a viable career path for us devs since elon tries to eliminate all dev jobs with his company macrohard, anthropic tries to make it as easy as possible to steal an identity. What am i miss

It's more interesting to compare what gemini cli and codex cli did wrong? (though i haven't used both of them for weeks to months)

I've skimmed the article and still have no clue what you guys are talking about. Is test harness another word for end to end testing?

Haha that's the legendary 80/20 curve of a sidegig ;) As i grew older i just do the work when i feel it. When i don't feel it after a few days i stop working on it. The feeling may come back but i won't force it like my

You say we should provide those ahead a safe environment.. but that's what accelerates social segregation and leaves those other poor kids behind

What the heck, the universal job description of a PM is to genuinely understand the requirements of their product. I'm always baffled how such people stay in those roles without getting fired.

It's better to leave no one behind than to focus solely on those ahead. Society needs a stable foundation and not more ungrateful privileged people.

I'm now really confused. I've also been taught this type in german elementary school. But since after school cursive was thought of as children / school handwriting and not something adults should use in professional settings

Nope, i wish Apple would do this the way Android does. Most people here prefer Apple, not because of the crap iOS but because of the hardware.

Oh boy, they can't. Those are inexperienced vibe coding their idea of how product management could be done but lacking the experience to realize it doesn't work that way. How many of these claude code wrappers have been posted her

Come on, you are blaming them, like it's a choice to be poor. Just have more impulse control... Probably they need medical help for some condition? But no, it's their own fault..

I wouldn't touch a YC company for this use case. All the marketing from the landing pages is just that - blabla.

Sorry, i don't get who this is for. For those who want to use a CLI tool but don't like using a CLI? Also it's only for API metered use?

That's arguable. More accessible for whom? It was - before YC - and it still is hard to raise seed. Not much changed in this system. Only that a player like YC got too big - and has weakened the position of bootstrapped founders. They

You answered your own question on why these companies don't want to run a philosophy department ;) It's a power struggle they could loose. Nothing to win for them.

I don't think so. Older generations seem to me much more risk-averse than recent ones. You had many people who were pretty aware how dumb such stunts were back then. Two factors come to my mind - there were much more toxic masculinity

Well, their point has much more substance than your "this is ad hominem" slur since the blog author didn't disclose that his opinion piece is directly tied to the business model of his startup (and therefore wants to sell you
