Seems like your vision is to let AI take over your livelihood. That’s an unusually chipper way to hand over the keys unless you have a lifetime of wealth stashed away.

You should put pay bands on job listings to save everyone time and sanity.

This is the headline for all LLM output past "hello world"

It is finally starting to feel like the craze and hype bubble is being rightfully questioned left and right.

The only way you could be 10x more productive is omit you were doing nothing before.

Biggest issue is lack of job opportunities with Elixir

Love helix. Lots of features are still needed, but it’s an excellent editor

“Web” is such a broad category. Quite a leap from LLM wrappers.

I mean, do you have a rationale or examples? I find that JS ecosystem is where projects go to die, whether npm libraries or projects. Rails and Ruby on the other hand offers one of the best ecosystems and a lot of stability

They need to keep the hype machine spinning, because it’s clear that the fundamental progress has halted, most updates are now micro improvements and new releases and mostly wrapper tools built around models that we have had around for a wh

Cursor had been atrocious. Building on top of an already crappy IDE, you’d hope that they are at least keeping up with VSCode improvements and updates. But they are far behind and instead keep slapping on more garbage. The agent stuff is la

Cursor has no privacy mode whatsoever. I have been able to exfiltrate just about anything from it.

It's really hard to measure. Sure, maybe 20-30% of the time I get a perfect autocomplete and boom, 2x speedup. Then there is the partially correct or completely incorrect suggestions that tools like Cursor keep spamming, making me eith

I mean, using a good ORM with DB adapter options could achieve this in minutes. Sure, LLM has utility here for raw queries, hardly "replace SWEs" type of utility though

Ages behind Jetbrains and more of electron dumpster fire. No thanks

Wild take. Let’s just hand over the keys to LLMs I suppose, the fancy next token predictor is the capitan now.

Insanely expensive. 18$ usd per month?? I’m going to guess it’s also an Electron monstrosity

Why not? It’s got a huge user base, a massive open source plug-in ecosystem and a sensible revenue model. It’s probably one of the note apps that has the largest community around it outside of Notion, which is heavily VC influenced and is m

I am so damn tired of all the AI garbage shoved down our throats every day. Can't wait for all of it to crash and burn.

Yes you still need recaptcha simply to avoid password stuffing attacks.

They have a paid AI service. I think eventually the collaboration will be paid and it will probably rely on commercial licenses from companies and maybe offer more enterprise like features for that customer base

Helix is getting so much better every release, it's been a pleasure to use. Honestly, the biggest things that it still needs to be "feature-complete" is a file tree, and a plugin interface implementation.

What is the salary range for Canada ?

Real shame when US companies miss out on Canadian talent like this…

Thanks for your input! I have experienced the acceleration of obsession as well but I find that I can’t maintain it or spark it on demand. I guess I’m looking at systematic changes that yield some of those results but for long stretches of
