Something is wrong with your laptop. That is absolutely not normal, and not something you should blame on the software design.
aniforprez · 10 hours ago
If you want me to blame "software design" then I can point to the fact that the TV app lags constantly on my M2 especially when I click the "download episode" button which should not ever be a thing on their native hardware, that there is a WindowsServer process that steadily eats up all the RAM that consistently needs to be quit in order to free up memory, that the headphone balance constantly resets to some random value where the audio comes mostly out of my left ear which has apparently been a problem for decades, that Spotlight is less than useless and STILL shows "Disk Utility" as the top result when I search "dis" instead of showing Discord an app that I open on an almost daily basis, that randomly the fingerprint login simply will not work for seconds at a time...

This is just the stuff I remember. This is a 16GB M2 Macbook Pro. Not a single native Apple made app or process should be lagging, let alone using up enough memory that sometimes apps just completely crash. Again, my windows desktop hasn't had a blue screen or a hard crash in the decade that I've used it and it had a worse configuration with 16GB of RAM and an old AMD CPU.

> Apple can’t even ship software that works.

Hey they're doing better than anyone else.

Big disagree. My Macbook has hard crashed into restarting more times than my PC desktop has in years. The other day I literally just closed my M2 Macbook and it for some reason just completely crashed and shut itself off.

> But if you make a .button class, now people are going to be tempted to use that to style their own buttons.

How is having consistent design across the entire application a bad thing?

aniforprez · a month ago
There has never been an application where I worked that anyone is happy with the base design of the button. There is always some variant, some edge case, some requirement that doesn't fit. This is the whole reason why BEM became a thing briefly and it was tedious. Tailwind solves all that. Just have a base set of styles, pass in any additional styles to the component based on the specific requirements and where the component is used, use tailwind-merge in the component and now I never have to care ever again.

> The first beta came out and it was _very hard_ to see the lock screen if you had notifications. How was that missed?

It’s a beta for a reason.

Past betas have also had graphical weirdness in certain new features, too. They iterate on it before release.

Why has everyone suddenly forgotten what beta means?

aniforprez · a month ago
So are we not supposed to criticize a beta at all? How are they to know what to fix unless someone actually looks at it and makes clear what's wrong? Obviously they missed a pretty critical readability issue here.

Not entirely convinced about their graphs where they "improve" over tailwind with just HTML size and "number of class names". Why do these matter exactly? You're basically removing the number of classes in the HTML and adding the CSS anyways so how much are you really saving here?

I don't mind the existence of this library obviously but condensing into tiny abbreviated classes seems like the antithesis of tailwind but maybe it's for folks who can't or don't want to define a base button component every time and want a jumping off point. In that case I'd much rather use shadcn or something based on react-aria that gives me solid primitives that I can extend with tailwind classes passed to it in specific instances

Judging by the name, Github Desktop works only with github... ?
aniforprez · a month ago
I'm not sure if there's advanced commands that GitHub Desktop does more with but for the most part it's just a porcelain frontend that works great for doing simple operations but can't do things like interactive rebases, reflogs, blames and so on. It's a pretty simple frontend to get started if you're just learning git. There's not much it does that's GitHub specific. If you're logged in, it will easily checkout your upstream repos.

Same goes for Windows or Android really.
aniforprez · a month ago
If my windows device fails, I'm not going to Microsoft. I either fix the offending part of my desktop or laptop, or reinstall the OS or move to a different OS. If something is wrong with my android phone, I'm not going to Google since I don't own a Pixel and will go to the manufacturer of the phone. If it's a purely software issue, there are steps I can actually take to flash a different ROM though admittedly it's not an easy process.

Here Apple not only owns the device but also the software it's running as well as distribution of apps for this device except for CLI tools distributed by brew or other package managers. At least with a Mac I can install and run applications over the Internet. With an iPhone that's not at all possible (not sure about the status of side loading with the EU ruling and all)

My current working theory is this:

People who enjoy mentoring juniors are generally satisfied with the ROI of iterating through LLM code generation.

People who find juniors sort-of-frustrating-but-part-of-the-job-sometimes have a higher denominator on that ROI calc, and ask themselves why they would keep banging their head against the LLM wall.

The first group is probably wiser and more efficient at multiplying their energies, in the long term.

I find myself in the second group. I run tests every couple months, but I'm still waiting for the models to have a higher R or a lower I. Any day now.

aniforprez · a month ago
It's the complete opposite for me. I enjoy the process of mentoring juniors and am usually sought out for a lot of little issues like fixing git workflows or questions on how a process works. Working with an LLM is absolutely not what I want to do because I'd much rather mentees actually learn and ask me less and less questions. My experience with AI so far is that it never learns at all and it has never felt to me like a human. It pretends to be contrite and apologises for mistakes but it makes those mistakes anyway. It's the worst kind of junior who repeats the same mistake multiple times and doesn't bother committing those to memory.

You might also find it amazing that people work with colleagues and give them feedback!
aniforprez · a month ago
Colleagues take that feedback and improve. It seems a large number of people here seem to find these kind of improvements in other humans useless in the hypothetical case of them leaving but I occasionally look at my mentee's LinkedIn and feel a sense of pride at having contributed. I also feel joy when they appreciate my efforts.

I genuinely don't understand how often people compare AI to junior developers.

100% agree, I have been looking for a YouTube video or stream of someone leveraging AI to get their productivity boost, but I haven't found anything that made me think "okay, that really speeds up things"
aniforprez · a month ago
It was extremely telling to me that the Zed editor team put out a video about using their AI interface and I don't remember what model they used but they asked it to add a new toggle for a feature and then spent half they video demonstrating their admittedly excellent review workflow to accept or reject the AI generated code and you could directly see how useless it was down to adding completely superfluous new lines randomly and the explanation was "it just does that sometimes"

I'm really not seeing these massive gains in my workflow either and maybe it's the nature of my general work but it's baffling how every use case for programming I'm seeing on YouTube is so surface level. At this point I've given up and don't use it at all
