Why is that strange? To me, it’s evidence of growing dissatisfaction with the direction of the field and frustration with being made to deal with the consequences of others bad wor…

Ah, Poe’s law… my favorite

… doesn’t Linux work through email, not GitHub?

This is just rude, the poster clearly is asking for more information and isn't claiming to be an expert.

Out of curiosity, I asked Opus 5 to do the same with the first ~1.5 pages of Neuromancer by William Gibson, which I thought might be a good test of interpretation from the model. I…

I'm glad you agree re: Oura/Garmin's tactics. Thank you for building on principles!

Oh yeah, I should've clarified, I mean via a REST API. I thought about building an app for myself to do what I wanted to do, but it's frustrating that I can't just set up a Cron on…

My partner is an architect, and is really good with Unreal for this exact purpose. There's something magical, for a client, about being able to literally walk around the site rende…

Carolina wins a Stanley Cup, now we have hyperscalers? Moving up in the world!

For me, I want an open API I can pull my data from. Last I checked, you have to be a business to use Garmin's API. Apple certainly doesn't let you. My goal is to have a cron that r…

How could you? Can _someone_ in this thread _please_ provide a source?

...source? Please try and provide one for such strong claims.

Oh yeah, I mean I certainly think it’s a false premise. But it is a premise someone is giving.

Going to give a short reply to one point because I’m about to go to sleep (I try to make an effort to be honest as to why I’m not fully engaging with the entire comment) but re: st…

I don’t doubt his expertise, I just am not convinced it’s the right tool. To me it comes back to the premise I hear a lot from AI hype men (of which I do not subscribe but it’s wor…

Next time, try being polite, it’ll make me way more inclined to engage with you. If I missed your point it was unintentional. Instead of being rude, try gentle clarification. But n…

Code isn’t what the majority of software engineering is.

Alright, sure, my bad. I thought it was clear that it was meant tongue in cheek, but I’ll accept it was unclear. That said, with respect what I clarified, I’m curious your thoughts…

Yeah, this is what I’m trying to get at. There’s two arguments in competition: 1. LLMs make it cheap (in the time sense) and easy to build 2. Rewrites and/or writing something in a…

It’s hyperbolic and intended to generalize the sentiment I perceive from others. Dario Amodei said in January that he expected software engineers to be replaced [0], so I suppose t…

Because I’ve been told that Fable can do anything :-) My question is moreso “why was it ever JS in the first place” & the cost of a native rewrite would be cheaper than acquiring B…

Correct And the question of “if AI is so amazing, shouldn’t it enable easy development of a native TUI even if JS is easier at first?” Don’t get me wrong I find great value in codi…

Maybe I’m taking crazy pills, but I’m still stuck on “why the hell does a TUI need to run in terminal React by way of JavaScript” The fact that Anthropic felt the need to buy a run…

It’s directing the city to treat it as false advertising in existing law if I understand correctly

Yep. A large part of the value prop for me is easy portability of the same games and saves to couch or PC with zero effort or re-purchase.
