Totally agree on this. It has delivered a substantial value for me in my projects. The models are always going to give back results optimized for using minimal computing resources …

The models are mostly I believe capable of executing however as you rightly indicated 'lazy'. This 'laziness' I think is to conserve resource usage as much as possible as given the…

I decided to adopt AI assisted coding for a recent project. Not sure what defines 'vibe coding' but the process I ended up was a iterative interaction at a measured pace. I used Ge…

I understand your point. Since AI code is inherently bound to face a critical review, we have kept the goal of security at the top. We have taken the following steps for it. - 1. C…

Hey HN! Just wrapped the first release after couple of months of iterative dialogue driven development using Google Gemini. The goal was to see if we can rebuild the core of our Sa…

Yes this is exactly what it is. I think there is so much haze built around it for last 15 years because corporates started using OSS as a means of viral marketing. Individual devel…

I dont think Zoho was ever acquired. They were and are still are a private company with no external investments. Interestingly the confusion seems to be with Zimbra and here is a b…

BASIC was my door to programming and computers. I experienced it in my 7th grade in the late 80s when I had the fortune of one of my friends owning a Commodore 64. What a thrill it…

Also there is an inherent 'I can do this way better myself' as part of the developer psyche. Though no one gets around to actually doing it.

4GL was a buzz word in the late nineties when I entered software profession. It was pushed by ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software majors of that era such as SAP & BaaN. Eve…

I have come to view religions as organisms in an eco-system. The behavior is very analogous. The goal for both is survival and propagation. As within an eco-system, organisms evolv…

Totally! Have been 23 years in tech now (specifically in enterprise software) and am still amazed that we keep reinventing the wheel over and over again. Then again that is the onl…

Angkor Wat was and is a prime example of human civilization and its early prowess. However, the title is not entirely right. The Angkor Wat by itself was built by Suryavarman who w…

A key reason for this, if I may guess is that most libraries today provide tutorial/get-started code which uses CDN. I assume most just copy paste these code snippets into their pr…

I can understand and relate to the point you raise. Constructive criticism and self retrospection is a key marker of any progressive society. The slight caveat is that each society…

Glad that no offence was taken, my intent was to throw spot light on the root comment where it is easy to generalize on any human community. We all need to restrain ourselves from …

you did rob us with unparalleled intensity over 300 years, is that ingrained? edit: I only know UK as an imperialist

One more very Indian thing perhaps also is we like to gladly flog ourselves and jump at the chance of discrediting our people. We will start with "As an Indian" but end with "They"…

Thank you for responding. I had hoped to get a typical configuration based cost to insert into the business model cost projections

I am trying to build a business model for a SaaS play. In your experience what does it typically cost on a monthly basis for a beginner SaaS deployment for an enterprise applicatio…

Walk into any Indian home for a free lesson, they make it every day for a few thousand years now :-)

For me it is the joy of creation that always rekindles the fires of programming passion. I build an application even if it is to learn a new concept.
