Just have your agent use an existing design system. They provide coherence and many styles to choose from (and customization if you really need that for your personal use). I would…

I don't think that needs to be true either anymore. Exhaustive specifications and comprehensive test suites are easily created now too. That's why I think software engineering will…

It's actually a combination of both, leaving out more expensive smaller markets.

And what would the goal of that be? I thought the goal of education was... education. The grading is not goal in itself. Will this really motivate kids to do better?

Sounds like a great opportunity for kids in high school to learn how to feed back the AI detection results into the model and have this process be automated. Next level would be fi…

Dependencies. There are billions of lines of C++ out there that have been optimized and production hardened over decades that you might want to reuse. Rust lang interoperability wi…

I generally agree, but max line length being so high you have to horizontally scroll while reading code is very detrimental to productivity.

Rails is in steady decline [1]. [1] https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=%...

> What caused the drop in popularity in RoR? Async/await. JavaScript and all other modern languages and frameworks have a great concurrency story. Rails still hasn't (but it's comi…

I disagree. Hiding async makes reasoning about code harder and not easier. I want to know whether disposal is async and potentially affected by network outages, etc.

I think you should appreciate more how much the tens of billions of dollars Google has invested in Chrome has benefited the web and open source in general. Some examples: Webrtc. G…

Aside: it’s impressive how the whole blog post does not mention a single detail of what they actually did to achieve these performance improvements. Code changes, really?

There is also the question of cause and effect. Did Instagram grow to what it is today because of a decade of investments from Meta?

The point of deterrence is that you spend the money so the chance of Russia doing something like a land invasion of Europe is decreased. The much more likely scenario that European…

We need to invest a lot of money to stop climate change. Renewable energy projects are very capital intensive compared to fossil fuel equivalents.

This ironically applies both to climate change and being a decade too late to react to Russia's expansionist actions.

You're being overly dramatic. Germany has been spending low amounts of money on its military for two and a half decades. Circumstances changed and spending needs to be increased to…

The Rails documentation has lots of info about this: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/tuning_performance_for_deploy... Concurrency support is missing from the language syntax and thi…

Yes, it does. Ruby has a global interpreter lock (GIL) that prevents multiple threads to be executed by the interpreter at the same time, so Puma does have threads, they just can’t…

Rails is a hot ball of global mutable state. Good luck with threads.

Well instead of looking at the two first hits of Google I spent several years on a platform team of a multi billion dollar company using mostly Rails and worked on solving real wor…
