I think it's because not many know how to measure it properly. I can output 5 useless/bad features in a day with Claude or I can output 1 useful feature per 2 day period. Which one…

> planning every last detail before writing code is boring Not only that but you can't really plan everything. It is impossible. Without LLMs, with every line of code you are makin…

> Within reason Reason dictates having redundancy in place. Having prepared scenarios for what to do. A lot of countries clearly don't have that and they are operating on the assum…

Because a competent country/government should plan ahead for shortages of any vital resource it depends on.

I recently built a home server and used Noctua fans for the first time. I absolutely love how quiet they are. If I didn't know the room had my server in it and was running, I would…

This is the first thing I read this morning and I'm not even a dad yet (or maybe never). I miss this side of HN nowadays.

For me, almost every single time a conversation like this happens in real life it boils down to the one side claiming that "This is the future" and "Don't get left behind" followed…

Fair enough. I misunderstood.

Please read the article. > The WSJ report added that the rule is expected to make quarterly reporting optional and not eliminate it altogether. So companies can still do their quar…

I thought it was 72.

English is my 3rd language. I still disagree with using an LLM to write on one's behalf. I either get to read your thoughts in your voice or the comment is getting a downvote/flag.…

> AI is a great equalizer when it comes to communication in English. Good argument for it but I think 80/20 split applies here. It is likely that 80% of the time it is used to farm…

One thing not mentioned here is the Photos app. Out of the box, it is the default way to view images on Windows. That app is so bloated and slow to start that Microsoft announced t…

Using React in core parts of the Windows Shell, Microsof's inability to design and release an application using non-web technologies, and the sluggishness and lagginess and bloat o…

My personal blog that I write in every now and then: https://blog.mrcsharp.dev Mostly dev-related topics but I'm trying to write about more than just that. And btw, this is a brill…

I think the "for me" part is implied with pieces like these.

It's always been this way with any hype cycle. This one is just the latest iteration.

Chill out buddy. You're going to pop a vein here. A typical backend developer using C#/Java is likely solving more complicated problems and having all the concerns of an enterprise…

> Nobody cares about this And that was my point. The choice of using JS/TS for LLM stuff was made for us based on initial wave of SDK availabilities. Nothing to do with language me…

> It also has TypeScript which pairs well with agentic coding loops The language syntax has nothing to do with it pairing well with agentic coding loops. Considering how close Type…

C# has AOT compilation producing native, single file assemblies. A bit behind on this compared to Go, but it's there.

Sadly, this will be the trend with things moving forward. JS is perceived as a good language and LLMs are meant to make them even easier to write. It is not about the mertis of a l…

That doesn't make sense either. Agents already have access to MCPs and Tools. Your example is solved by having an S3 wrapper as a set of tools.

> It’s at what level of complexity does QA become necessary. This is a good point. My answer would be that it depends on how many depend on the software and what is the tolerance f…
