A big influence for modern js is chained enumeration, like forEach

Wouldn't you just do elixir now? It's like erlang but even wilder. I think smalltalk and erlang are so interesting because they model the idea of small computers so differently. Li…

Don't think it has to be, if you are mindful of it. Ai uses fewer dependencies usually, as it doesn't mind rewriting things, and you can easily add scans and sanity checks to your …

I think calling opencode the trend is naive. This not what is being run on company time.

Idunno. I think you end up teaching them nothing and just doing it for them. I mentor plenty folks without learning more than basics of vscode/cursor, and the most important lesson…

I'm unsure why you point this out. It's also a non issue if you're trying to drive a unicycle. Isn't it more interesting to talk about the cases where it applies? Or do you reckon …

There truly is not. Software engineering is not different in any meaningful way. Sure 30 years ago in waterfall land we were emulating the project management of engineering, with m…

You don't think the rest of the world is doing funded research?

Yeah this is copium. Everyone is sprinting to adopt everything that is useful, and it just haven't happened with MCP. Also, what's the hold up? If they all are building one, presum…

If it is verifiable, please show us. What if clear to you reeks delusion to me.

That is what too expensive to be an option for most.

You're on to something. It's the lisp machine of it all. Hot reloading is nothing that requires anything special, so you can redefine a callback or dependency with ease in the repl…

Looks cool, but the phrase 'build applications with the flexibility and power of go' made me chuckle. Least damn flexible language in this whole space.

You're not wrong, for sufficient simple cases it's at a disadvantage. But once things get complicated, it wins by being the only thing that you can get to work without going insane…

You'll be back :)

Honestly if we could have we would have, we can't even tax the people destroying our world, how are we going to create utopia

It's definitely an approach. I do think in true democratization of the internet, teaching people some tech is inevitable. We just can't have equal access if we retain the classes o…

This is the complete opposite of my experience.

The point of MCP is discoverability. A crud app is better, except you have to waste context telling your LLM a bunch of details. With MCP you only put into it's context what the ci…

If only you could reach out of your own experience and ponder what might cause otherwise reasonable people to do so. Young people peer pressure, current marketing landscape, you're…

https://www.wheresyoured.at/costs/ Their AWS spend being higher than their revenue might hint at the same. Nobody has reliable data, I think it's fair to assume that even Anthropic…

For sure not

Sure you can say consumers refusing the ad-ridden paywalled experience killed it, or we could say the lack of adaptation and finding better business models did. I think a lot of pl…

utilitarianism is when you add up the suffering. stalin made number go up, mother teresa made number go down. these are also not the only options.

I guess you.. ask them a bunch of recommendations? I would imagine this would not be incredibly hard to test as a community
