My point was your needs and problems are not everyone's needs and problems. I don't want to think of memory management in most projects, I want to focus on business logic, so I use…

> The idea of reactivity came from or was popularized by Angular.js No, spreadsheets popularized reactivity. And the general point is incredibly weak. Don't use frameworks and make…

This website is straining my brain. Ads that bounce around? Sheesh.

Even with AI I think your animations were high effort. Great job!

> I actually don't have any personal criticisms of Jarred The whole post felt like a personal criticism of Jarred.

Am I the only one not getting the hate for the website? The site looks fine to me. What about it is bad?

> Truly robust engineering isn’t about what works for most; it’s about gracefully handling the edge cases. How do you justify this when you factor in cost and time?

Not prevent, just not provide very responsive feedback, right? I don't know, I understand the principle, but I don't see how you can determine the value of a principle outside of a…

I understand the design principle but I would argue it's a bad implementation principle. Engineering attention is finite. Why would you spend time thinking about 8 clicks when most…

I don't want to hate without cause, so I read the prize winning entry 'The June'. So, now, I can hate with cause: it reads like someone who cares about what their MFA friends think…

Honest question: Does the founder end up making money this way? Can you really get rich building a failed business?

The strongest signal you can give people now is offering personal interaction. It's expensive to go meet someone or ask someone if you can call them. I wrote about this from the pe…

I wasn't trying to argue against democracy. I was asking about how we make it feel better.

1. Incredible! Can I make an unsolicited ask? If you had industry specific templates for standardized PDFs it would be easier for me to send Parsewise to the insurance companies I'…

I enjoyed your comment. Over the long term, democracies have mostly avoided self-implosion, so this political see-saw does seem to work. The question is: is there anything we can d…

Your argument hinges on deciding what "works" means. You're saying it "works" for some people but maybe not in a way or scale that was originally intended for it to "work". But isn…

That's fine if they're benefiting from the status quo, that decision making should be left to those in-context. The political experiments should be chosen and driven by small units…

Yes, but they're not safe experiments. And they're not experiments in the sense that we don't focus on shaping the reusable knowledge they produce. It's not enough to try things, w…

I've been thinking about this too: why aren't we able to run safe political experiments? We're missing guardrails to allow safe experimentation and we're missing institutions to pr…

Does this also extract semantic relationships and data dependencies between fields? In the past I'd built an internal tool that transforms insurance PDFs to structured data. I want…

Ok, I love it. Can you simplify how form dynamism works? I skimmed the docs and saw 'states', but it didn't immediately click how it works. Do we build a tree of rules outside of t…

For more advanced students, those with preconceived ideas, teachers use a refutational style of teaching. It's not the same as argumentation because the goal is to find an appropri…

Meaning?

The author's argument is hilariously wrong because we've been doing something for thousands of years: teaching. And it works, to some degree. And how do teachers teach? They don't …

Scientists and consultants both build models. The scientists do, Step 1: Build Model Step 2: Think of implications Step 3: Check if observations make sense based on implications St…
