The Gatling quote is hilarious. Did the inventor of the machine gun really think that each company of 100 men was going to be reduced to one guy with a Gatling gun, and 99 of them send him to the battlefield by himself, saying "good luck buddy, let us know how it works out?"

The army was going to be reduced by a factor of 100, and two tiny armies were going to face off while the majority of men of fighting age were going to sit at home and paint landscape paintings? Really?

I don't know if this is your point, but we're hearing the same stores with AI. Do these people really mean what they say or are they just lying to paint themselves as honorable

You are painting this like it’s a bad thing. The workers decided that they would rather have higher working time to buy more things!

A lot of people would not choose to work for half the time as they do now because they do actually like to buy things.

How can you say that when workers don't have a choice? What accessible job has professional level pay and is part time?

Glad to know that the pre-LLM-boom trend of just posting a rust library for karma is alive and well

Two months to refactor something that already worked fine? The product owner must have been on vacation. That was a very expensive project that produced zero business value.

I've wasted many 2 months on way worst tbh, at least he got something used by users with little, but still some, improvement

I'm a fan of anything that allows me to build with javascript that doesn't require a build step.

Modern HTML/CSS with Web Components and JSDoc is underrated. Not for everyone but should be more in the running for a modern frontend stack than it is.

Why? The half a second for the HMR is taking up too much your day?

Being broadly against AI is a strange stance. Should we all turn off swipe to type on our phones? Are we supposed to boycott cancer testing? Are we to forbid people with disabilities reading voicemail transcriptions or using text to speech? Make it make sense.

There's a moral line that every person has to make about what work they're willing to do. Things aren't always so black and white, we straddle that line The impression I got reading the article is that they didn't want to work for bubble ai companies trying to generate for the sake of generate. Not that they hated anything with a vector db

> Are we talking about using classes at all?

Using classes hasn't been a part of the definition of OOP since the Treaty of Orlando. Pre-ECMAScript-2015 JS is a mainstream OOP language that doesn't have classes, just prototypes. (Arguably ECMAScript 2015 classes aren't really classes either.)

OOP isn't just about classes... It can also be about JavaScript classes!

Types in python are really good now.

It's the asyncio and all performance footguns which need to be fixed.

mmcromp · 4 months ago

Whats "really good"? Pydantic? Mypy with dataclasses and built in typings? Is integration with Django okay? Genenily curious, not sarcastic. Im coming from from static typing and learning python ecosystem. Im still searching to make it work for me

I would never put up a copilot PR for colleague review without fully reviewing it myself first. But once that’s done, why not?

mmcromp · 4 months ago

You're not "reviewing" ai's slop code. If you're using it for generation, use it as a starting point and fix it up to the proper code quality

Ruby is really let down by the tooling around the language. The language itself would be so much more fun to write if the lsp would reliably jump to the definition of functions etc that seem to appear out of no where. It has been the biggest source of frustration for me while learning Ruby.

mmcromp · 5 months ago

I say the opposite, the lack of tooling highlights the weakness of the language. The drive to make it declarative/mimic "natural" language by reshuffling and overloading can be "delightful" to some, but beyond the paper covered surface is a mess. And for what ? "5.times do something unless" isn't cute to me. It's a dog "talking" by putting peanut butter in his mouth. But I think I'm the only one who feels this way
