Most of the people I've encountered that use Java are working on enterprise codebases that are a couple decades old at this point. And I'm totally unfamiliar, but I thought Kotlin was vaguely "Java for Android" - other…
Interesting! I am curious to ask someone who has been working on no-code tools for so long: I've been reading about no code platforms from the 1990s, and how all of those ended up failing. The reason I've seen cited…
I read that as him beginning the healing stages. Acknowledging his flaws as soon as he could even if he couldn't change what he already said - because that post did blow up, if he had taken the whole thing down it may…
I don't understand this, if I'm honest. WebAssembly is the compilation target. It's a Scheme compiler for wasm, right? Why is it pretending to be a way to rewrite websites? Wouldn't that be a job for literally any…
This is frankly one of my worst fears.
Maybe it's because I haven't had my coffee yet, but I cannot understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "be epistemically sound enough"? You are using it as if to say "if your code is grounded in sound…
I see this get mentioned a lot but I still am skeptical that AI can generate tests we can trust more than any other code we know we cannot trust. Yes tests are conceptually isolated and that helps, but I've personally…
is the author of this post in thread? i do not like the AI voice it reads like.
If you know it, and I know it, and everybody knows it, why the hell are we paying huge amounts to mince words over the proof?
If your business plan is selling software to people, 98% is not plenty at all. If your web app crashes one out of every fifty times I launch it, it's not good. The business side of things is reasonable to prioritize…
Yeah that raised my eyebrow as well. "Popularized" maybe, but "largely built" I think is a mis-characterization.
Not technology - that's only downstream of politics. No political administration in my lifetime (!) has made policy decisions against the interests of tech monopolists. The closest we got was Lina Kahn's FTC.
I feel like I'm going nuts. There are other commenters saying this is a good practice they've also done for other injuries. You are saying you are an actual radiologist and immediately clock the problems with its…
I don't think it is, to be honest. Politics - particularly politics relevant to large democracies - appears to be a function of visible truth, and not truth itself. See all the articles about "X slams Y" or the endless…
Oh dear. I've been using Omarchy! Had no idea. Thanks for the info. Was already kind of annoyed at the "manual" not being very comprehensive - think I'll switch to another distro or fully yank control away from Omarchy…
Disagree. There's a power imbalance between how easy it is to write something by hand and slap a human label next to AI output. "Let the reader decide" is not fair in a world where the reader then sees >90% AI writing…
Personally I think it should be optional, but meaningfully optional in a way that's technically sound and easier than it is now. I kind of feel like long term I'd want "professional/public" code I'd put my name on, and…
Yes but Qt comes with the drawbacks of being tied to Qt. With Electron + React, you'd be able to rip out any components you need and place them in other web apps. The browser is (psychologically) avoiding vendor…
Man, I've really been falling into his stuff. So refreshing to hear someone speak from a perspective of care. It's good for my soul in this world of slop.
Not a product manager but I habitually try to play devil's advocate as one. I think it's popularity, full stop. You _could_ vibe code a native app no problem - but then you're targeting one set of hardware. If you're…
I don't think we can stop publishers from rent-seeking behavior, I am only trying to get at the idea that we should clearly communicate to a user when something is truly bought and owned vs rented. If that information…
I do as well, but I think it's good practice to put something like in a user preference setting somewhere if you are going to stray from default browser/system behavior.

The classic SKG example is The Crew. Where is the indie recreation of the Continental USA to drive around? Indie games are great, but let's not act like art is fungible. I don't like the idea of "they will just find…
Agreed that thinking about the natural progression of today's circumstances are painful to think about, and about the death of intellectualism. However, I'd like to play devil's advocate here, and speak to your "without…
