Because the AI one are soul-less, and the badly drawn ones are not, simple as that.

I agree with your take, most of it boils down to ego, I believe.

Lot of it was bad, sure, but there was so much games and animation done by literal kids back then, because of how easy it was to create something with the tooling. Nothing even com…

This will greatly increase developer velocity (by making them run far away).

Same, I'm currently working more in React project, and I miss Angular so much that I actually use it in my personal project, it can be a genuine pleasure to use if you avoid over-e…

Agree. RxJS is a beast to approach at first but it's a genuinely cool library, as long as you don't spread observable around when you don't actually need them. I used the same appr…

As someone who feels stressed about not feeling able to finish the side projects I have (that is, working on my music player, learn Arabic, and learning to draw), this is a very re…

I think the implication is that even though the technological landscape is evolving, it's not as if people born in the 60's couldn't foray into computer science because they arrive…

I'm not sure why you're downvoted, but this is the right take IMO. I hate cheating and lying in general, but in any job posting you have to separate what are the actual requirement…

A few years ago there was a thread about "How complex systems fail" here on HN[1], and one aspect of it (rule 9) is about how individuals have to balance between security and produ…

I would agree, but the question feels less spiteful than playful in nature.

> Why die on a hill that it "is" something it says it isn't? There's plenty of guru who say that they are the reincarnation of Jesus and/or Buddha, doesn't mean that we have to tak…

100% this. To this day the official website still describe itself as a library, and I'm convinced it's completely for marketing reasons, since 'framework' feels heavy and bloated, …

In his "Power of Simplicity"[1] talk, Alan Kay had a great illustration of this specific phenomenon using astronomy: Before Johannes Kepler had the insight of describing the orbits…

> Maybe we're just calling all forms of automation and computer vision "AI" these days because it's sexy. Funny thing is, at first it was the other way around! 'Computer Vision' ha…

Passion, drive, and existential fulfillment can take many form, and "professional joy" can absolutely be one of them. It's not about drinking the corporate kool-aid, but about taki…

I'm a bit surprised at reading that. I've tried both, Next left a bad taste in my mouth, but Nest was kinda neat. Didn't used it for anything too complicated though, so I'm curious…

Except that now Youtube also "helpfully" auto-dub legitimate videos in other languages (along with translating the titles) by default, so even the 'AI voice' isn't a good signal fo…

If you like cringe humor, you might 'enjoy' the web tv show "2Kawaii4Comfort" on YouTube, about late teens/young adults going to an anime convention. It's very well written, and it…

Another TV show that played with this concept well is "30 Rocks", with the main protagonist dreading to go to her high school reunion because she was a nerdy girl mocked by the hig…

Simple: Two wrongs don't make a right.

Next time I'll be ranting against overengineering, I'll be stealing that :D

For me, LLMs are a bit like if you were shown a talking dog with the education and knowledge of a first grad student: a talking dog is amazing in itself, and a truly impressive tec…

I don't think it's a Javascript problem in the sense that it's due to intrinsics properties of Front-end developpement, or of NPM, but I do agree that's in a cultural problem in th…

I haven't seen it mentioned here, but one other classic trick for hamburger menu is to use a checkbox, and let CSS handle the rest. Something like: Some icon here My menu here and …
