It's a bit strange to project a personal experience with one product onto all other products by the same vendor, even if those products use shared platform parts. Not to dismiss yo…

I don't argue against the fact that codebase complexity increases token consumption on building context. My main point was that there are other factors affecting token consumption …

Why do you think the cap has anything to do with the quality of their codebase? Employees could've been tokenmaxxing for various reasons: learning, experimenting, trying to impress…

Have you lived in one of those rent controlled “paradises”? In Europe, yes, there are sizeable populations living in subsidized housing, and often there are restrictions on rent in…

> Claude's API is still running on zero-margin, if not even subsidized, AWS prices for GPUs; combined with Anthropic still lighting money on fire and presumably losing money on the…

How do you jump from “not attributable to AI“ to “must be a recession”? I think it would be true for jobs that are not separable from companies economic activity, but it isn’t true…

Sure, but monitoring, reviewing and steering does not really require modern IDEs in their current form. Also, I'm sure agents can benefit from parts of IDE functionality (navigatio…

Fascinating to see how agents are redefining what IDEs are. This was not really the case in the chat AI era. But as autonomy increases, the traditional IDE UI becomes less importan…

I don't understand how your comment relates to what I've been responding to. >> I know many who have it on from high that they must use AI. One place even has bonuses tied not to p…

How does maximizing AI use prevents developers from reading their code? Especially if bonuses are not tied to productivity as you say. Just treat AI as a higher level IDE/editor.

The market price is supposed to account for future growth, not just for current revenue. Predicting future is speculative by definition, but it's not completely detached from reali…

Yeah, I can't be sure. However, the "tech" part of the layoff most likely falls under the R&D expenses, which are relatively small compared to their overall costs. So I don't see, …

The fun thing is that their R&D cost is dwarfed by expenses on Sales&Marketing and General&Administrative. So, if I understand their financial statements for 2022FY correctly, a 7%…

Fleet does not use Compose, but it does use Skiko[1], which also provides binding for Skia[2] (the native graphics library also used by Chrome & Flutter). The main difference betwe…

The existing options for monitors, suitable for use as a TV, are extremely limited. For TVs 55" and 65" are common, for monitors there were just a few, which were dumb TVs basicall…

IDE does not try to analyze Gradle scripts directly, it works with declarative model that is created by executing Gradle scripts. Gradle works in two stages: 1. Configuration: scri…

I think it's not correct to say that Turing-completeness somehow prevents extracting project structure. If a build tool can extract that information, why IDE could not do that? In …

> Java -> Kotlin is effectively one-way interop Could you provide some more details? I'm a bit surprised by your statement because Kotlin team has put a lot of effort into providin…

Oh, it seems I've skipped "like" in "Java like VM based", sorry.

Dart is not a JVM Language. It can be compiled to the JavaScript or run in the Dart VM.

You're wrong about Gradle: it has good incremental build support. Not only it does not run a task if its inputs are not changed, it even makes it possible for a task to process inp…
