Well... how about you don't let your little sister use chatgpt to do her homework? If you think it fries her little brain the responsible thing as a big brother is to buy her a little bit of lsd to microdose and counteract the damage you have already done, right?

I agree - at least I take it as a red flag that the blogs content is probably also low effort slob and that I should assign it a rather low credibility

I'm all for declarative DSL, just not sure why it has to pretend to be a static config. A functional API can look much cleaner.
Well it mostly can be a static config - although some stuff like inputs can’t be passed in during initiation of the machine (which you can easily do yourself), but imho I also think should just work like with most other parts of the config (guards, actions etc.) One advantage of it being a json format is that you can validate/transform and pass it around with all tool available in this space and that it can easily be understood, written, extended and used everywhere (to a point) where you have a json parser. Also, i wanted to learn rust to write wasm stuff - and my idea fir learning project was a parser for Xstate to create a kind of abstract program … well didn’t get to it - but could see usefulness to having a easily portable standard to describe and mock a program between languages

I always want to use this lib and end up just doing small simple solutions.
Does anyone have case examples of when this abstraction helps vs hinders
Well i feel the abstraction itself doesn’t really hinder… what hinders an i realized costs me lots of time is laying out a good looking machine-layout… the auto-layout for machine introspection still is terrible and currently can’t be used with the layouts in the editors. Also I often end up to having copy the machine json back and forth and this usually requires tweeting as Machine inputs still can’t be mapped using strings and I often end up missing some and then wonder why stuff isn’t working as now errors are automatically caught in the machine. What I really like is that I can visualize my programs and clearly communicate a system using the graphs and delegate the parts that have to filled in. I think it’s also great for documentation and making sure a program is built in a nicely testable way and state is only updated at the appropriate times and places (you need to use an assign action). Model-based testing is also a nice feature… as are the ability to restore machine states at later times using saved state or replaying events. Although I never have done it I enjoy the thought of just taking my machine and put it into another web-fronted and only rebuild the UI by binding the view to state/context and interactions to basic dom events. All in all I think it can have big benefits of having a UML like visualization of your program that can be introspected live at run-time and isn’t immediately outdated because nobody bothers to keep it up to date after a code update (because it is the code). But it surly is a bit of a learning curve… but I encourage you to just try it out beginning with very small machines and build from there. Many of my problems come from just trying to build a giant machine system with many communicating actors from the start. Which totally isn’t needed to assess its features/drawbacks

Thank you for the kind words! I somewhat agree that it is complicated and overly engineered for many applications that don't need all of the statechart features, and that it has a sizable learning curve.
I plan on greatly simplifying it for the next major version, mostly to be more idiomatic and flexible without sacrificing the state machine principles.
You and your team are real MVPs.

And in this case, as is almost always the case, the "elites" are not even paying the fine. The Company is. No human being inside the company who made any of the relevant decisions and did any of the wrongdoing will suffer in any way, or have to pay anything.
If you want to kill people and get away with it, just form a corporation and have your CxO and SVP staff make decisions that kill people.
Also - they already plan for the Fine and put that peanuts on the side… just a nice tax deduction… it would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad

Surprise a thing that doesn’t understand context is bad in a task that requires understanding context and intent… Well… I haven’t read the article and never will.
Have fun playing with your license after company shuts down game’s central server.
I personally don’t care about buying licenses. I’m interested in buying games. I’m not finding licenses particularly fun or useful for… anything, really. I could print them out and wipe a… table with them, but paper towels are better suited for that purpose.
All for that - but I am rather sceptical if this is even possible anymore. Sure you can have a disk which - best case scenario - contains a game in a executable state. But I can’t remember playing a game without installing an gb sized day one patch. Do even when buying a physical copy - you probably don’t have the full thing anymore after the (whatever) server goes bye bye.
So can I refund all games I ‚bought‘ under false pretenses? I only have few games and opted out of this garbage ecosystem a while ago. Would be nice to recover some investment
