I felt the same way with fp-ts then effect in typescript. Pretty cool libraries and I learned a lot about FP while trying them out for a couple of years, but a lot of ceremony and …

>No I'm not, I'm just sick of these edgy takes where AI does not improve productivity when it obviously does. Feel free to cite said data you've seen supporting this argument.

I was thinking about this as an approach for a side project to build in order to (speed up) learn elixir/phoenix for work. While the old-school forums dedicated to specific topics …

Meh, I used to have that feeling, especially when discovering fp-ts and then effect (neither of which I've been paid to write), but after about four years, I'm tired of writing it …

Okay, how am I supposed to use them "correctly"? Because me explaining step by step, more so than a junior developer, how to do a small task in an existing codebase for it to get i…

Do you have actual data showing cursor (or any LLM) is a massive productivity benefit for coding? What are the heuristics?

Is it not a bit weird to freely give give away your entire code base (I assume it's personal, not your company's, but maybe I'm wrong) to an entity like Google?

This whole thread has to be satire.

Have something else write code for you to be a better programmer? Yeah.... no, that's not how it works

It's been refreshing to read these perspectives as a person who has given up on using LLMs. I think there's a lot of delusion going on right now. I can't tell you how many times I'…

Or someone who has been a developer for a decade plus trying to use these models on actual existing code bases, solving specific problems. In my experience, they waste time and mon…

To be more clear, it's operatives of the Heritage Foundation who now work in the government putting this into place. Does anyone think Trump actually does much day to day? He often…

I think the point is you could just.... write the code yourself.

I've had the same experience as the person to whom you're responding. After reading your post, I have to ask: if you're putting so much effort into prompting it with specific point…

I'm in the same boat. I've largely stopped using these tools other than asking questions about a language that I'm less familiar with or a complex type in typescript for which it c…

I'm not sure if you've been reading the news at all, but I would guess no? The most talked about has been USAID -- namely because they started with it, which is odd because it's on…

They're stopping congressionally mandated (i.e. legislation) payments to services, violating the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

It was insanely effective: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PRMFGCON . Notice the sharp dip at the end there.

I can't speak to that (I'm about a decade in). I have read some things, but they're anecdotes and the majority of people who find a decent job out of college probably aren't going …

I might suggest a third option, which I pursued. Found a job at a public university system in my pre software development role. Received tuition remission and worked full-time whil…

I've played around with sst v2 and now v3/ion for side projects and like it a lot. Is there a timeline/roadmap for supporting the languages noted on the bottom of the post?

I've heard this and haven't really experienced it with Go, typescript, elixir yet. I don't doubt the claim, but I wonder if I'm not prompting it correctly or something.

Why are you dubious about the future of EVs?

Isn't that just inflation?
