I would try to sell it internally. The interface is not that different, and I had good experiences myself stability-wise.

I for one believe Microsoft when they say this code is going to Github... to die. Half of my friends is vibe-coding something but they can barely get the rest of the group chat to use it once. In companies, I see people vibe-coding "mi

Today it's just React, but there was a small window where Angular was the #1 framework and some courses were teaching it. I even saw a "post-grad in React" lately. Backend-wise it's the same, it comes and goes with fashi

I'm gonna strongly +1 on this. Most of the "Software Engineering" curricula I've seen is catered towards "getting a job as a programmer", and is mostly focused on languages, frameworks and outdated processes. A

Yep. Way more than half of the people I interview can't even do a very basic FizzBuzz, even with guidance. Those are people with a degree, job experience and reference letters.

It is possible and practical in lots of cases. And it's necessary to use the CLI tools directly in some situations, such as when deploying from CI servers rather than building by hand. Is it possible for 100% of situations? I don'

Hopefully not! So far I’ve been shipping internal apps without it! Even notarizing works :) Apparently Audio Units v3 is only available with Xcode, which is why I’m only doing v2.

I don't know, I don't use/want to use Xcode. What I'm interested is in the CLI tool for my own use, not necessarily for agents.

I wish the same thing existed for Apple. Everything I do for macOS/iOS is already without Xcode but it's a pain in the ass to keep up with changes, and there are things I haven't figured out yet (like AUv3).

Not advocating that people should follow this but: As someone that loves cleaning up code, I'm actually asking the vibe coders in the team (designer, PM and SEO guy) to just give me small PRs and then I clean up instead of reviewing. I

The JVM has been extremely fast for a long long time now. Even Javascript is really fast, and if you really need performance there’s also others in the same performance class like C#, Rust, Go. Hot take, but: Performance hasn’t been a major

Interesting. I have worked with a CEO that did exactly that. The product quality was just insane. I have also worked with people in power who believed they were doing the same, but actually just had weird taste in interfaces and ended up sc

The expectations are just too low for LLMs. It’s like a children or a puppy. People get impressed and go “how cute” at anything it does. I see designers and PMs vibe coding shit that they would complain for days if it was delivered by a dev

This has been the status quo for more than a decade. In the past SEO blogspam was done by cheap freelancers, and there were several agencies selling the service. Experts identify blogspam quite easily, but laypeople eat it up and use as ref

I'm not defending this model anywhere. I'm just stating that React can do what applfanboysbgon suggested: "As a game developer working in my own engine, UI is unbelievably straight-forward: [...]"

Yeah, I agree. Build systems (especially Babel and Webpack) were the first big culprits in terms of dependency bloat, and it was very rare to see React without them.

I like to criticize React as much as the next person, but this is an JS ecosystem problem around third-party libraries, not a React problem per se. If you're using third-party NPM packages to do "Vanilla", you're will pr

It's not just the name or the smart explanation. Atomic packages brings more money to the creators. If you have two useful packages it's hard to ask for money, even if they're used by Babel or some popular React dependency. I

Oh boy, do I have a story about this. I had a PM that was unable to work without AI. Everything he did had to include AI somehow. His magnum opus was 30 extremely large tickets that had the exact same text minus two or three places with sli

The copy part sounds a lot like Cargo Culting. Copying the visible behavior but not doing the actual part that matters. Also incredibly common in corporate.

If you don’t have an engineering manager or tech lead able to back you on saying no to a PM, there is something seriously broken with that organization.
