Right, like I mentioned, it’s a scale problem and how people feel about generated code. Abandonware have always been the majority of repos, because people don’t have time or interest to maintain most things they create. We just have more things being created now (whether they’re any good/usable or not).
Disagree. Most projects are never “done”. Whether that is defined by the user or by the users, there are nearly always things to work on. Maintainers just lose interest or don’t bother. This is as old as open source and it has nothing to do with LLMs, it’s only aggravated by it.
Hardly an issue with generated code. You could say the same about projects before LLMs were widely used for code generation: “most projects are abandoned within months of release”. The difference now is the scale and how some people feel about it.
Reminder that “a coin toss” is only bad odds for problems with binary and equally likely outcomes. And that’s rarely the case for anything that an LLM is used for. A 50% chance of saving an hour of work a couple times a day are pretty good odds. If I have a problem which a candidate solution is easy to verify, it’s often more effective to let an LLM investigate it for some time before I do so, and only jump in if it fails.
There have been several little fixes I’ve done in minutes with an agent that would take me at least an hour to manually investigate, write a solution, test, and refactor. So yes, there is something to it, but you need to know how to use it. Keep arguing in a thread after noticing hallucinations is a clear sign the author doesn’t know how to use an LLM.
This. If you’re at a point that you’re arguing with an LLM, you’ve already lost. Just start a new thread with a different approach, don’t make an article about your inability to use an LLM.
I was reading this yesterday

I probably won’t do it myself, but maybe it works for you
at this point “prism” must be one of the most overused project names, there’s no hope for any seo using that name
yeah, I know of two other tools with that name just from my workplace, both probably suggested by ai
those samples sounded better than these ones from 2023 to me, but can we even know that apple is or isn’t using AI for new versions of say?
GitHub is good enough to people keep using it. With the exception of the AI-induced downtimes last month, other platforms have as many problems as GH does, but GH gets the bad rep because it’s the one everyone uses and has an opinion about.
Despite old problems that still annoy me, they actually have an impressive and unmatched set of features too, so one can’t move away without some compromise. For the most part, you might find Forgejo/Codeberg and others to meet your needs, but it’s going to take a long time to match GitHub’s maturity in some things like code search.
I know, but the main use i have for github is collaboration, and I don’t want to expose a forgejo instance I’m hosting myself.
I don’t move mine because of the hard limits at 100 repos and 100 MB of private storage. I wouldn’t mind paying to have more, but that’s not an option.
edit: it seems one can request limit increases, but I have no idea what’s their approval criteria.
I wish I had half as much trust with someone as anthropic has with that company to let them casually rack up 500M in use.
IP addresses change or can be unreachable (e.g. requiring NAT traversal), so this tool lets you connect two machines (P2P) using a collection of other tools and protocols like relay servers, noq, and gossip protocol. Communication is based on QUIC, the same protocol supporting HTTP/3.
That’s the other part that’s a bit problematic. There is some async support, but ORM calls, to my knowledge, are still blocking. There has been some effort put into it, but I’m not sure they’ll manage to reimplement it. Other parts of the framework and third party middlewares are blocking too, which makes writing async Django a bit of a minefield.
There needs to be a non negligible amount of work to make sure a given request remains asynchronous across all layers today.
Jesus, there’s so much FUD in that gist. A lot of information out of date and emotional tone to the brim. Makes you wonder who’s putting that much time and effort to support an outdated system like x11 and what they gain from that.
The reality is that the main desktop managers, and by extension the most popular distros are abandoning x11, so that’s just a silly hill to die on.
I use Django and there are some things that annoy me, like the fact we still need Django Rest Framework for a decent API experience, but at the same time, Django and DRF probably overuse inheritance and abstractions, to a point that every now and then I have to look up their source code to understand what’s exactly happening.
Lack of type annotations is another aspect Django really needs to catch up compared to other frameworks, and the whole dynamic nature of Django makes it difficult to have type stubs from third party packages working reliably, with lots of false negatives and false positives. So sometimes I still have runtime errors due to typing that could have been prevented in a different framework/ORM.
So I understand why some people are adopting different and more lightweight frameworks in new projects. The admin panel can be nice, but I’m not sure I’d choose Django myself to start a new project today.
The post is about why no one is talking about Django, not not why they’re not using it. A lot of people use it, it’s still a solid choice, but it’s probably far from the things hyped in social media.
OOTL what does notepad++ have to do with that? Or they just like to be eccentric in their releases for marketing?
