This is also something you can train your body to get used to. Anyone who started doing intermittent fasting and struggled at first will know that you eventually adapt to it. Depending on how difficult someone finds it, doing a ketogenic di

> It's better if the bottleneck is just reviewing, instead of both coding and reviewing, right? Not really. There's something very "generic" about LLM generated code that makes you just want gloss over it, no matter h

I mean, unless you just don't know how to program, I struggle to see what value the LLM is providing. By the time you've broken it down enough for the LLM, you might as well just write the code yourself.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Just don't publish the prototype.

I mean, you can write the stupid code to get something working, and not submit the code until you've iterated on it.

Maybe, but why should you have to pull out a separate device to check the time?
249.
by wtetzner 1y ago
Even if you don't get pulled into something else, having to stop what you're doing to check the time sounds like a bad UI.

Clojure's protocols are basically the dynamic language equivalent of type classes. > I get the impression you'd need to explicitly create a new type class? In the same way you need to use defprotocol in Clojure. You can impleme

> Clojure is pretty smooth but there is nothing stopping anyone implementing any interface on any object in most languages I mean, this is false for Java. Creating a wrapper can end up being a big mess if you need to expose the functiona

Having to wrap a loop body in a function that's immediately invoked seems like it would make the code harder to read. Especially for a language that prides itself on being "simple" and "straightforward".

AAA/AAAA just means "how much money was spent developing the game". High cost doesn't automatically equal high quality. In fact, it seems after a certain point to mean the opposite.

Just because a consumer can't see technical debt doesn't mean they aren't paying for it. Most game studios continue to re-use code, so it doesn't just "vaporize" into the void.

This feels like it missed the point. Hickey's approach is relevant in how the software is constructed, and Tellman's is relevant to the user experience. Both approaches are useful for a single application.

I'm curious about which flows you mean.

> Looking at performance is making the second step before the first. I'm not sure I agree. Bad design can ruin a fast UI, and bad performance can ruin a good UI. I'm not sure one is more important than the other, because they&#

I don't think it has anything to do with being impressed or not. It's about being careful not to put too much trust in something so fallible. Because it is so amazing, people overestimate where it can be reliably used.

This feels disingenuous. I have a hard time imagining a case where someone would find this confusing.

Ugly is subjective, but which part of the syntax is inconsistent?

> because you will be able to more quickly solve easier problems which will free up more time to get better at programming I'm not really convinced by this. Easy problems rarely take up much of my time.

Kinda, but there's always an opportunity cost.

Sure, you can probably get better at it, but is it really worth the effort over just getting better at programming?

> But on a modern CPU, focusing on an optimization like this is a poor use of developer resources. How many people are rolling their own datetime code? This seems like a totally fine optimization to put into popular datetime libraries.

> Time is the one thing that isn't cheap here. Right, and that's true of end users as well. It's just not taken into account by most businesses. I think your take is pretty reasonable, but I think most software is too far

Unfortunately currently the priority is neither.
