I think svelte 5 is an actual innovation, it does not behave or feel like a “framework” to me. It feels like a natural extension of building an front end with raw html, css, js, so…

I date a nurse, I think nursing might give AI an existential crisis. Jokes aside, nursing is so incredibly innately about human to human care, this is really just more hamfistig so…

Optimist take, the tech is shit and the people like Trump not JD Vance. Cryptocurrency = Not being used as a currency, doesn’t even meet the criteria for a true medium of exchange.…

Svelte is the only framework I have come across that is actually tackling the problem of front end bloat and I love it

Svelte 5 does a great job of raising warnings for this. You try to use an onclick on a div you get warning to make it tab-able and give it an aria role, and a reccomendation that y…

Chat, are Dutch people autistic?

I am saying that all people, including neurodivergent people, have personal agency in what kind of work they choose to do. If you work a job that is primarily meaningless work, tha…

> hmmmm neurodivergent people need to DO work they like. Not sure how you misunderstood my comment to that extent

Ive got a pretty intense ADHD. This article is vaguely offputting to me. I think it makes it out to be that neurodivergent people need to be baby’d in some way. From my perspective…

This is actually a major issue in the LLM wrapper space. Building things like agents (which I think are insanely overhyped and I am so out on but won’t elaborate on), usually in Py…

Are you developing directly against your production database?

My current setup on a personal project is docker compose with Postgres and pgadmin container. I would never think of mocking a database in 2024/2025, just spin one up. Also keep yo…

Correct solution: stop using inheritance.

I think database modeling is a bit of a lost art, it’s so important though for building applications that do anything important. Love your distinction about the database not needin…

Dealing with some ex googlers at my current (non tech company) now, Jesus Christ they are culture killers at regular companies.

And he just secured a massive salary increase for his constituents, in short time. As a member of the labor class of society, I can’t help but cheer him and the union on.

It’s not wrong to use dicts, it’s just bad practice when you could use something like a dataclass or pydantic model instead. Dicts are useful for looking things up, like if you hav…

This looks great, actually using streaming for responses is a nice touch. Having built a few front end ai chat features, one of the key things is making sure the llm provider is sw…

Exactly, things like changing the signature of the api for chat completions are an example. OpenAI is looking for any kind of moat, so they make the api for completions more compli…

That’s a great analogy! The chemical imbalance thing has always sounded to me like there “are spirits in the system”

I think this is a major selling point. If developers could upload their CVs, exercise could package together the users yoe + industry experience with the users learning veracity + …

The issue is we don’t actually recognize that there are two very different careers that fall under the “software” umbrella. One is developing hard software, software that needs to …
