Both can be true and I have both opinions also in me. Love the progress, worry about the consequences of not being careful with it.

He does say in this post:

I’m getting better at using them and get some boost from the models. It is a new skill, and it’s not like I haven’t constantly been trying them. You have to be really careful, they can increase cognitive fatigue, and all the vibe coded stuff is still slop (where’s all this new magical software that the productivity improvements should imply?).

But even that can be difficult at times. My roommate had once a racing bike with a tire so tight, we struggled immensely getting it on.

And even without such a difficult tire, imo most people would struggle if you’d ask them to change a tire of a bike, especially the back wheel.

They didn’t mean that Safari had a problem on rendering, but that their phone is so narrow, it often highlights pages that weren’t tested properly for mobile.

It seems the 13 mini is 375px wide, which isn’t even that narrow. The smallest I normally tested against was the width of the iPhone SE with 320px.

Figma runs untrusted user plugins in your browser by running them in a QuickJS engine that is compiled to Wasm.

According to the linked blog article, this is not what they are doing, but rather an option they explored. They use JavaScript Realm shims to isolate the execution.

That’s true, at least I would have eaten it. I did leave out boiled eggs with holes after cooking them for at least a day in the past. It depends of course, I don’t live in a super humid and hot climate, results may differ there.

Does the same apply for cooked eggs? I would have thought all bacteria is gone from the shell after the process, making EU and US cooked eggs virtually the same. A short search seems to agree with that.

That egg was totally still edible, even if you pierce it for the cooking, it should be good for at least a few days. If you do it right, it can be weeks. In Germany you can buy cooked eggs in the super market and they are not refrigerated.

Had a similar thought recently: With the advent of AI, custom software became extremely attainable. DHI syndrome suddenly becomes less of an issue - and can actually become a perk, as you build the most minimal software that works for your org, skipping potential vendor / saas fees. Really curious how the landscape of software will change in the next years due to that.

GCP Outage 1 year ago

Cloudbuild completely down for us. Getting "Visibility check was unavailable" errors.

Can recommend visx as well, it's great as it's basically a thin layer around d3, giving you maximum flexibility while providing lots of built in components to get you started.

I think it’s that a paper submitted by one of the most famous authors in the math field is not auto approved by the journals. That even he has to go through the normal process and gets rejected at times.

Very cool project! Do you know if this would be possible for duckdb? Is there something about sqlites APIs and wasm build that made it feasible?

Context: Currently using go-duckdb and while it's working for us, getting rid of cgo would be a huge help. Would be quite interested myself to attempt this.

I wonder if this team could have choosen any framework and it would have worked, they just happened to use scrum. With the founder mode discussions recently there was this saying akin to "a successful process is a result of talented people" and not the other way around. It stuck in my head and I feel this is an instance of that. Although you definitely can force a process on a talented team and have their productivity diminish.
