If you are looking to rapidly build windows native apps just use Delphi. Superlative tool for this. Been using since ‘95

Really like using alpine with a classical JS server rendered stack too. Most crud apps don’t need a spa app and now you are working out of one code base again. Codex chews through …

Why have types? AI can infer everything. The ultimate ai language is as terse as possible to keep token count down but can still be understood by a human

Disappointed they didn’t use hiccup to generate html. Format?

Not seeing the "top talent" part at least from the H1B I have worked with which is probably in the hundreds at this point.

Delphi is leagues better and still supported

Delphi is the superlative windows desktop development tool. It does support styling and just about anything else you would want. There is a free alternative in Lazarus but I don’t …

Seems like you can quickly build out what you want in tailwind and then convert to css using an ai tool

Why doesn't paul take some of that cash horde and put it into the LISP community? Maybe he does?

If your personal projects are "work" then yes do not bother. These are my creative outlet and where I get to enjoy coding again. My day job is massive .net/angular/sql projects tha…

ASP.NET AOT support coming in .net 8

I consider not having types a feature. One of the reasons i like clojure. spec > static types

Twitter has gotten better. probably for the reasons you mention.

I stepped into a project at work to help out knowing almost no typescript and wrote angular http routines that just worked in a few hours with chatGPT. first we started with any an…

And yet node.js scales without threads.

Have a look at glamorous toolkit and you'll understand why separate documentation is an arcane idea.

Build Glamorous toolkit in C++ LOL. The language matters.

I just generated an httpkit clojure web app hat fetches coin and price info from coinmarketcap in 15 minutes. This would have been a minimum of 4 hours based on my current clojure …

It's all about the next quarter and until that stops being true it's going to hurt U.S. competitiveness

All I can say is "Glamorous toolkit" https://gtoolkit.com/

I've steered clear of c# my whole career but .net 7 is the bees knees. the minimal API makes it very easy to build endpoints without a bunch of ceremony code.

C# grew and it's almost as old.

Exactly my thought. What I need though is a web front end to search and view my org files when I don't have emacs available to me. I have client laptops that will only let me acces…
