But the second those smaller prototype apps become big enough to need to scale or be maintained, you’re back at the same problem.

The whole thing it gets you then is “faster experimentation”, which was something that was /already fast/ if you use modern tools of the day. 1 week vs 2 weeks for a prototype app may build you more prototypes but it doesn’t help when you can’t scale them.

It does smooth some of the processes though - AI is maybe helpful for cognitive augmentation for coders, but it’s not going to be building you apps worth a damn.

while I agree with the sentiment that it's hard to evaluate the real gains, it's definitely not just about code generation. Debugging is a a big part of the value, IMO.

That's why the proper user interface is to use a predefined sequence instead of a freeflowing text input box allowing arbitrary mistakes

So Space,S or good old Ctrl+S or equivalent

that will also save you from :w1 and :w3 and :we

by mapping `:` to `;` you actually can save by just typing rather than using those pesky modifier keys :-) That's invaluable to my wrists.

Firefox out of the box indeed does not cause broken websites. However, the demographic of this forum probably will use Firefox with "Multi-Account Containers", "Temporary Containers", "uBlock Origin", and a few more. These are amazing for privacy and productivity, but will occasionally cause broken websites.

Source: I am a Firefox-first user who occasionally uses plugin-less Chrome because the aforementioned plugins (and "ClearURLs", "Consent-o-matic", and a few others) occasionally break websites.

I remember seeing this published when I worked at Sonos. In fact, I might have been the one who put it on the Slack channel.

It was a cool project at a time when a lot of people were saying it was insurmountable to make us AirPlay compatible.

Sorry you didn’t get the job. I hope you didn’t lose much sleep over it. I left in 2020. I wouldn’t say you’re missing much any more.

My three-year-old had a 4-inch teratoma removed from (well, with) one ovary earlier this year. Without having any idea about the prevalence of teratomas in humans historically, I wonder: is it scarier to have symptoms and not know what it is, or to know what it is and not have the means to treat it. The fact that it's real and not just a tearout from a Junji Ito story is frightening enough in modern times.

spac commented on Tell HN: Submit comments to IRS re tax treatment of software dev expenses    · Posted by u/mNovak
fdasava · 2 years ago
> Just remove the rule altogether. A company paying a wage to a software engineer shouldn't be taxed any differently than any other kind of employee.

In most other industries, product development is capitalized and amortized over the life of the product for tax purposes. It requires lots of estimation and log-keeping (X% spent on develpoment, 100-X% spent on maintenance). Which is exactly what your employer is doing... taxing you just like every other kind of employee.

The change just removed the specific loophole for software.

spac · 2 years ago
Except that for software this is so much more complex than for any other type of products.
