Proxy that makes Twitter links embed on discord, for whatever reason. Something about api access without accounts I assume
Not sure what changed, but now it just redirects me to x.com.
I don't quite understand the intent of such article other than to promote themselves given an odd timing that the company is planning on going public, so I can only conclude that this is just part of the IPO roadshow. LLMs certainly have made significant changes to our lives, but I haven't yet to see any extraordinary improvement it brought to me which makes me skeptical about their claims. _if_ it solves many of our…
Truly feels like witnessing the worst of capitalism and greed play out. All that compute and energy towards a narrative of reducing the need for skilled programmers. What a waste. These people don't have our interests in mind and everyone eats it up like a blessing from a god or something. It's surreal.

That's a process problem at your company - no developer should be proposing branches over 1k loc (or whatever your agreed tolerance threshold is) without a very good reason, vibe coded or not.
> no developer should be proposing branches over 1k loc I've seen that reaction many times. It seems to work well enough when someone is maintaining existing code. However, greenfield projects can often require literally orders of magnitude more code to deliver something that can be integration tested. The first step is to break it up into a stack of commits. Each one must compile and pass its unit tests, of course.…

In this world we've had an inocculation event against use of nukes. Two were dropped, people have seen how abhorrent their use is and collectively decided that they shouldn't be used. If in the WW2 Japan also had nukes (and delivery systems for them) they'd probably have retaliated in kind and US wouldn't let that slide too and it would have continued for some time.
If WW2 Japan also had nukes the US would never drop those two. That's the whole idea behind MAD. Probably the only thing that stopped an open conflict between the US and USSR was them being nuclear powers and both sides being scared that eventually push comes to shove.
It makes me wonder that despite the fast improvements in model capacity (and the claims) we're still using variations on a 9-year old architecture. How is it that we haven't been able to use LLMs to actually improve that?

Because they're going after the biggest problem of all first: labor costs. /s but not to a lot of people

AI always does this in the public sphere and software is particularly susceptible because there's no key metric to measure productivity and people obviously have vested emotional interests in the technology failing. On the other side people are always keen to show off their alignment with the new hotness, be that OOP, Agile, Functional, Ruby, web tech, js frameworks, Rust or agentic work today. Somewhere in the middl…
It also doesn’t help that the middle of the road, realistic reaction to it is “it’s aight” and that’s just not a discussion worthy response.

this allows for comfortable ergonomics IMO not that it could be leaner for sure but i get the reasoning behind the tui rendering layer
comfortable ergonomics? you can't scroll up more than 50 lines before it starts to garble up text i'd be ashamed of publishing software with this level of polish as a solo dev, let alone as the hottest multibillion startup on the planet
By comfortable ergonomics, meant the forgiving and asynchronous input system. You can start typing, cancel, retry with previous input, accumulate messages while the agent is active. I don't know all TUIs but this is not common IMO.
Other than that I agree with you.
