React is what powers your Windows Start Menu.

It can become pretty bad quickly, with just a small project with only 15-20 files. I’ve been using cursor IDE, building out flow charts & tests manually, and just seeing where it goes.

And while incredibly impressive how it’s creating all the steps, it then goes into chaos mode where it will start ignoring all the rules. It’ll start changing tests, start pulling in random libraries, not at all thinking holistically about how everything fits together.

Then you try to reel it in, and it continues to go rampant. And for me, that’s when I either take the wheel or roll back.

I highly recommend every programmer watch it in action.

I met a guy who would say “pan forward” and “pan it in an angle”.

You folks still say bot? I my company, we say AI.

Nah. It’s just a paradigm. I hated it when I studied it in the 2000s, and have gained some appreciation of it 20 years later.

What I realized isn’t that I hate OOP, moreso I hate how old ass books/old guard developers used OOP.

Addy user here! Been using it for years now and just last week, I saw an uptick in one of my aliases. Turned it off with a single toggle and no more spam.

The ability to self-host is awesome if I ever get to that stage. But right now, I want to keep giving them money.

But I want AI to convert my mp3s to Oggs and vice versa 😭😭😭

Not some stupid “conversion library” or whatever that is

In a room full of dickheads, it’s often the loudest dickhead that gets their way. Often it’s the CEO.

Pretty much. These commenters seem to believe engineers are given all the resources needed to deliver everything in time in perfect condition.

I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let’s Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.

Joplin.

Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I’ve reached my limit of cost vs value.

I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.

I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.

People may show excitement over the hot new thing, but nobody is going to migrate their entire architecture/platform over unless it’s incredibly convenient or they’re rebuilding from scratch. Backward compatibility makes it less of a barrier of entry to migrate.

That’s good for adoption.

But also a foot gun, since the roadmap of Deno just starts to look like Node.

This was pointed out a few years ago, using comparisons from the js framework wars, and the js tooling wars.

To gain adoption, they need to do things better by a multiplier. Why is Vite the standard now? Because gulp was doing too much, and webpack was a complex mess. Vite is so fast, lightweight, and works.

Node and the Node contributors are taking every single idea Deno has and implementing them faster and better.

Deno is a nice idea, but it’s getting their lunch eaten.

Yeah but then you have to learn MATH and I’m not doing that.

Is there a tldr here?

Politics in my sci-fi? Yuck.

Gonna go enjoy my politics-free shows like Star Trek, Star Wars, Black Mirror, Westworld, and The Man In the High Castle.

IT team is in charge of backups. They swore up and down that everything was fine and backups are working correctly.

For my department because I believe in Happiness, asked them to send me a backup. It was garbage data.

Then I learned how they verified the backups were working if the file size was bigger than 0kb.

I’m struggling to understand this story.

I get the idea. But the way it was written has a “I heard from a guy who did a thing that looked like this…”

Maybe it’s written that way to protect the privacy/trade secrets. But it also makes it hard to have any takeaways beyond why a dev team approved of pushing code like this to prod with minimal testing.

In 2000s, website builders were supposed to make websites so easy, a grandma could make a website. Look how that turned out.

Also right now, I could argue that as a engineer, i can use AI to create mockups and I don’t need a designer. But designers aren’t going anywhere.

Devs/designers using AI to support our workflow is going to be the norm.
