I think this "trend" is due to AI companies paying (in some form) the influencers to promote AI. Simple as that.

Been working on offline apps (Android) for the past couple of years. Syncing is hard. Some takes:

- There was never a budget for CRDT's

- Conflicts were never our primary focus, instead our focus were business problems

- Event-sourced arch + offline first app was quite a fun. Basically I've recorded all the events in sequence in SQLite, queued them up when there was a connection and had network retry policy in place + reverting an event locally if retry failed n-th amount of times.

Having kids and seeing that made me cry.

I've mocked a lot in my past. Last 2 years I've been using fakes explicitly, although it has an overhead, I like it as there is less maintenance and refactoring with tests.

Event-driven architecture should be implemented across complete system (client-be) or be used in a single feature, i.e. it needs to be all or bare minimum, else it's just an absolute mess.

As an indie AND dev, with close to 100k downloads on the app, I dread of making any changes to my app. It's like looking for trouble really. Last couple of times I made smallest change, there was always something else I needed to address.

As a professional AND dev, this sounds like there might be less devs, which means more work for me.

Just show the updated code not the whole file.

This just doesn't work for me. It keeps showing complete file content.

AI was incredibly helpful while learning LeetCode. Altho it's unable to reason at this point, it has was amount of info about most of the data.

I've noticed my TikTok feed is full of "Bosnian Serbs want emancipation, war is looming on Western Balkan" type of videos lately. My guess is Russia and China want another war far from Ukraine so western nations focus less on Ukraine.

Quite dislike Quest 2 dependency on Meta, would probably never buy their hardware again.

Better then X.

Always wanted to contribute to open source and expand my knowledge about programming and connect with people, however, I've always had way to much paid work that I was never able to contribute to OS; been working full-time and part-time projects in parallel for last couple of years, majority of my carrier to be more precise.

I really like to use Insomnia (Bruno alike) to import all project API's and debug API's over Insomnia. Does the job much faster for me.

Just wondering, does this mean OP c/p it wrong or bot is posting and it reused same title?

Most challenging part for me is to read between the lines what the clients wants and to offer them appropriate solution. Refining the idea and finding appropriate solution. Creating it is the easier part.

Chose Svelte for a client project 5 months ago, client loves the speed, I love developing with it. In general it's quite a nice tool, fast development, feels easy to learn. I do dislike server-less functions, which comes in pair with Svelte ability to do SSR, which doesn't have to do anything with Svelte tho.

Terms like "Forever" or "100 year" should be forbidden.

This is true, if it's basic app I'd certainly recommend web technology. But it's also true that clients many times don't know what they want and where they're heading. So, before we decide on tech, I do analyze with my clients what are their plans for the future with the app. It does pan out many of them would like to have notifications, storage, camera, offline..

Native stack is tailored for native devices, using web for that is just not as reliable/maintainable/cost efficient in my opinion. Sure, you can have less devs to support both platforms, but as soon as you need some hardware functionalities, you're not gonna have much of an options, besides what web tech libs you have in the store.

Can't imagine anyone relying on Chinese technology at this day and age. Most of the stuff is copycat of western tech.

I couldn't open artist details, songs stop playing after a while, couldn't uninstall it properly.

Just a few after using it for 30 min.

App is very buggy on windows.

Probably you could discover who did this by backtracking where did news first appear. Sounds like marketing stunt.

When I was a kid, we went for a sports trip far from my home town. As only geek in team, I've brought dozen of computer magazines with me. Oh, the memories.

How is this different from any other self-improving rules?

I didn’t know they have that many people (9000) to work for a single product.

I would presume it's many more products than just Spotify app.

I find nothing wrong with Leetcode. I've been avoiding it forever, and finally started to practice it 2 months ago. I can say I learned quite a lot. Thus far in carrier I've primarily relied on `List` when it comes to data structures, now I realize how wrong I was.

Sounds like a slimy way to manipulating current situation and distancing people from some real problem.

I am no behaviorist expert, but for me, someone who in world of trouble can post tweets as relaxing as Sam's, and do smile poses comes of as extremely manipulative.

As a freelancer I've been working on greenfield projects for last 3 years, all startup companies (3 of them). Has it's pros and cons. Projects sometimes fail, especially at this time one of my clients has financial difficulties, after spending millions on the app (team of 15 people).
