My one criticism which is why I ditched it for now is complex routing gets confusing and abstract quickly. I don't know that there's a serious solution to it because complexity can't come with zero friction but just my gut fe

They build teams in their own broken image of what a good programmer should be, and then get to manager and director and mould entire companies the same way. They become hotbeds of intellectually rich but functionally and productively inept

We used to. Then we went though a phase of 'rockstar' developers who would spend their time on the fledgling social media sites musing on how their real value was measured in lines of code removed.

It's recreating the monolith vs micro-service argument by proxy for a new generation to plan conference talks around.

I'm not a product fit, but I would like to take a moment to praise the detailed beauty of the design work on the site. From the typography and layout to the line-work down to how the gradients in the, in fashion, large logotype at the

I'm just in the process of moving from a prototype in N8N's agent tools to an actual system that could be self-hosted. I've read a lot of comments that most pragmatic shops have dumped langchain/graph, haystack, crew etc

Isn't it concerning that the hype and billions in investment is mostly steering towards finding that the only paying customer base are ergonomics tasks for other developers? Not exactly looking like the world changer right now

Yes, my initial distrust lead me to believe that I should only trust whatever ai agent it is to handle the granular issues in code. But they're fundamentally bad at it unless you spend more time prompting and re-prompting than a human

there is a case that the markets are highly efficient, just the the "information" part of the market hypothesis isn't the information a layman thinks are the market signals, and that only the HFT trading firms have the "

The world now believes that em-dashes are a sign of AI, I guess because it's seen as slightly archaic due to over use of the comma.

I've definitely done this, but it's in a class of "the problem is between the keyboard and chair" 'exploits' that shouldn't be pinned on a particular tech or company.

I'm planning on trying ash at the weekend when I have time, but right now it's still a little nebulous to me. Have you found a boundary where you end up just being constrained and you're just back to normal phoenix dev?

And that's how this will end up stagnating into nothing other than fractured enterprise "standards" There is no evidence that (real AI) is even close to being solved, from a neuroscientific, algorithmic, computer science or e

This looks really interesting, and bitcraft looks cute. I did hit a personal bias: when I saw "maincloud" as a phrase to do with pricing my heart sank because my brain went "they've wedged in some crypto shit!". Tur

Well, you missed the bit where ad and marketing networks get involved and corrupt it into some god-awful granular targeting system.

Again, it's not intelligence. It's a mirror that condenses our own intelligence and reflects back to us using probabilities at a scale that tricks us into the notion there is something more than just a big index and clever search

"It talks to me like a person" Because it has a sample size of our collective human knowledge and language big enough to trick our brains into believing that. As a parallel thought, it reminds of a trick derren brown did. He picke

I don't get it either. Watching implementations on YouTube etc it primarily it feels like a load of verbiage trying to carve out a sub-industry, but the meat on the bone just seems to be defining discreet units of AI actions that can b

Yes the fallacy here is that AI will replace eingineers any time soon. For the foreseeable future prompts will need to be written and curated by people who already know how to do it, but will just end up describing it in increasingly comple

The picture in the "article" is a wrap. The actual damage is tiny by comparison, still annoying I'm sure.

The metaphor is strained at best, and confusing at worst. It's a very high-concept pitch and so is the technical documentation, but the use case is aimed at people doing something, ultimately, very simple. I'm not sure that fricti

We can throw about causation arguments till the rivers dry up. Will it get us anywhere? Doing something will always win against doing nothing because we're fighting over who has the most virtuous opinion.
