Why do you think LLMs write prompts for LLMs badly? I use LLMs to write and refine prompts all the time. The prompts seem to come out very good. What are you basing this on?

It's crazy because when Sonnet came out it was heralded as the best thing since sliced bread, and now people are literally saying it's "useless". I wonder if this is our collective…

The early adopters will be the ones who reap the rewards.

Aave, Compound are both not Ponzi schemes and allow you to lock things like USDC and ETH (also not Ponzi schemes) for others to borrow, and earn interest. It's automated lending, I…

> Very rarely has any cryptographic algorithm been broken, but often one of the other links in the trust chain has broken. The whole point of Ethereum is to reduce/eliminate those …

How'd you get access to the API? When I tried it said it's full!

Cryptocurrency gets a bad rap here (most of it rightfully so), but one thing is for sure, once you use it you realize how broken digital payment infrastructure is. With crypto, I c…

Just recently started messing with AWS Amplify. It's crazy how easy it makes basically all this stuff. It really makes it simple to be a solo founder and manage every piece of the …

Interesting, one of the big reasons I want to learn Rust is to "future proof" myself once JS loses its monopoly on the web. Maybe Kotlin will be a better one than Rust?

Can you explain more about writing JS in an FP style? I'd love to start to incorporate more FP in my JS but I don't really know how to start doing that. I've looked at fp-ts but it…

Yeah that's mind blowing to me. Lots of people think these ultra successful people are just immensely talented but overlook the insane amount of work they put in. My new theory for…

It seems like WebAssembly will allow high level languages to get close to the "browser metal", so I think we will see declarative frameworks that are closer to the metal compared t…

Rust also seems like a great choice because of its close ties with WebAssembly. Web developers who learn it should have an advantage as the tooling starts to get better around WASM…

Can you give an example of how you can apply software system design principles to boardgame design? Genuinely curious.

What kind of things are people using them for? It seems like most of the low-code stuff I see is more low-code tools and examples of things that can be done with low-code. Are ther…

Totally agree. I feel like I trust Safari in terms of privacy as well, and it works so well in the walled garden of iOS/macos. I really hope they get it up to date with the latest …

This is cool to hear. I've been interested in Haskell/OCaml to learn functional programming. Rust has other cool applications like WebAssembly too. I think I'll start learning it a…

I think of it as "zero ops" API endpoints. I have some serverless functions deployed on Vercel. I wrote some Typescript code, pushed it to a file in a directory called api/. Now ev…

This makes me feel like there's a good niche for "developer-friendly no-code". I'm a developer and I don't like no-code solutions for all the things you mention. These current tool…

I guess I haven't done too much outside of web to know much else :). However I have done some iOS stuff and the tools are okay but much less open source, documentation, etc.

Is there a way to reconcile this? Web has such nice tooling to develop for, but it's also nice to have the discoverability and monetization opportunities of a centralized app store…

They have great recipes for authentication/authorization. It's much better IMO because it actually provides per-request authorization. There is also great support for transactions …

As a full-stack dev, I'm going to always reach for things like Hasura for building my backend from now on. It auto generates a full CRUD GraphQL API from my Postgres DB schema. Mos…

I've been really wanting to learn another language (been doing TS for the past couple years, would really like to see what else is out there). What do you think are other great lan…

Which JS libraries do you think have best adopted functional patterns?
