This was interesting, but continues to shatter the illusion for me that LLM based programming is vastly superior to someone not using an LLM. It consistently struggled for me to set up what it was trying to do, and had little context in helping me work through issues. I was using windsurf so maybe that was part of my issue? I gave up in part two when it got in a never ending loop trying to connect to the GitHub mcp.
In that case, you should just use meetup and not this?
Not intended to be pedantic or contrarian, but I think this falls apart when the code is making sure a signal is sent somewhere (aka communication). If I write a module that allows IPC am I focusing on execution or communication? I understand one can say they were “executing the communication” but at that point we ought to remove execute from the phrase if it has to preface anything you do.
To fully disprove my point, at what point do we never execute something with code so the distinction is even worth mentioning?
I'm a bit surprised we haven't seen a new AWS, something like Walmart Web Services.
Don’t know if you have heard but there are these brand new services called Google cloud and Microsoft azure. Not to mention all the legacy saas providers e.g. oracle that existed prior to aws.
It’s ok, you can swear here.
Gp never said it wasn’t used colloquially, he was just stating gps does have competition. Read more carefully :)
Probably just means you aren’t much of a hacker. Some people like playing with new stuff for the hell of it
He was nominated for an academy award at age nine, this hardly seems far fetched. Have you forgotten this is a thread about child stars? Or are you just being intentionally misleading
It's rude to make misleading marketing statements as well, especially when you are addressing a technical market. That is pretty bad, and thinking so is not rude.

I just don’t understand why this is better than returning an error to caller? E.g have an err return type that could be nil. This type of practice just seems to ask for undefined behavior or debugging frustration. when you finally track down this log statement, we have multiple call sites to choose from to determine where this free form log string came from. Hopefully the same generic string was not used in a separate function!
I feel like only someone from SF would find $2100 reasonable for a studio. To me that seems ludicrous in other cities. IME in Seattle, that's how much it would cost for a 2 BR apartment.
Additionally: 2100 * 12 = $25200. The general rule of thumb is don't spend more than 30% of your take home on housing. That means you need to make at _least_ $84000 dollars per year in take home. That hardly seems overstated. Would love to be proven wrong since I love the SF area and would love to live there. However, I cannot justify the costs because I do not make $84000 in take home.
Emacs + org-mode has always served me well.
