In my experience the real answer is almost always "just don't do that other stuff". Most of the complexity Postgress is claiming to fix here doesn't need to exist in the first plac…

"Management fucked up, and now you all get to pay for it. Have a nice day :)"

Usually I bounce between the Zig and Odin discords, as well as the Handmade Network discord.

Why I've moved more to a couple of language/software dev discords and away from Hacker News. Way too much uninteresting AI nonsense on here for a while now.

Oof, that price point is rough. I hope this does well for them, but I'm not sure who this is for.

On a semi-related note, I bought a Pixel phone about a month ago, and I'm shocked by how unpolished it is. I've had so many little annoyances pop up, issues I never had on other an…

Seriously, just switch to Go or something

Rust didn't have nearly the industry adoption it does now back in 2020, but it was gaining traction in various parts of the community. If you learned it back then it was either bec…

Can't. It's a worse case scenario. It got vibe coded but I don't have access to AI tools to undo it. Basically the company was running a test on some tools, one engineer went ham a…

Literally in the middle of ripping apart a vibe coded mess at work to figure out what's even worth keeping. Not fun :(

There's a lot of little things that just added up, but I think the clearest example was the exchange regarding Andrew's pay from the foundation. I don't have an issue with him bein…

I have a lot of respect for Andrew, and I really enjoy Zig, but God that interview was awful. Andrews answers were fine, but the whole thing felt very sycophantic.

As far as I'm concerned Bun has been extremely irresponsible with this entire rewrite, and it calls into question their entire development philosophy. Any project that cares about …

Congratulations to everyone who uses Bun. You're now working as alpha testers for Anthropic... for free. Anyone using Bun should consider migrating away immediately. Not because of…

Thank you for so aptly demonstrating what I deal with at work.

The annoying thing about Rust, or at least the hype around Rust, is that people want to in use it for bloody everything. We have absolutely no need for it at work. We're writing mi…

I feel like this article was circling a point it never actually got to. All the advice in here (except controlling scope creep) is specific to a TUI with an elm like architecture. …

This is awesome! I'll have to try reading through the code when I have more time. It would be awesome to read a blog post about the project. Your approach, lessons learned, unexpec…

You missed the point. People want to use stuff like this as somehow evidence for AI being able to write entire software systems in a few days. We saw the same shit with the "compil…

Three out of four of the top comments don't even directly engage with the point of the article. They're focusing on nitpicking elements of it or just going off on a tangent only so…

Not to mention to even attempt something like this from scratch would take hundreds of hours if spec work. I see it all day everyday in the aerospace sector. Software engineers hav…

Look what it can do in 6 days! Ignore the hundreds of thousands of hours put into the original architecture and test suite that made it possible in the first place.

Lol. What a goofy take.

You read an article like this, and despite some flaws, it restores your faith in humanity a little bit. Maybe I'm not the only one looking at the shitshow in horror. Then you come …
