I'm generally in favor of "Show HN" posts that are products, but this post just seems like blatant advertising.

To me it seems more like a lot of _thinking_ just to save a tiny bit of thinking.

It was a fun read though, and obviously this exercise is not about efficiency so much as exploring an interesting idea.

TOS != law

They will stop letting you use the service. That's the recourse for breaking the TOS.

Can you expand on why you avoid Rails? I'm legitimately curious!

Edit: I see your other replies, nvm!

Very worrying. This outage is serious and we're getting almost nothing from the official channels.

I've got a great setup going with Emacs and Aidermacs[1]. I just can't stand using VS Code, it's impossible to configure to my liking.

Less "Firing yourself" and more like liberating yourself from a toxic unprofessional clown show.

I love Temporal-- we use it at my company. It's very very good for our use case, but took a while to understand how to use it. We're still figuring things out (Workflow versioning is one thing we suck at still).

That said, I'm not sure why this post from 2023 was posted here today. There've been multiple updates to the Python SDK since this post.

This is the kind of gen AI that I can really get behind. Great repo and easy to understand with the attached video. Is such a thing possible for Python? Or does the AST parser and code planner work best with static typing?

People aren't static, nor are companies or roles within them. Treating every person as unchanging and treating the requirements of each level in the hierarchy as unchanging are just plain bad assumptions to make.

People grow. Companies change.

This book was meant as satire, and the fact that so many people take it as fact is honestly quite concerning.

Part of the point of reconciliation is to accept unequivocally the sovereignty of indigenous peoples. Is it not morally questionable to ignore indigenous peoples' sovereign rights (over fishing, forests, lands, etc.) as we have been doing up until now?

And hopefully all of us plebs as well? I might be too optimistic about the future of AI.

This sounds nice, and the information on https://www.anthropic.com/company seems to back up your claim, but do you know of anything on Anthropic's corporate governance level that will help ensure this mission is followed (forever)?

The profit motive is _very_ resilient. Right now I will take it on face value that it's fuel for the ethical mission, but in the future that might change. It's far (far) more likely that the ethical mission will change than the profit motive will change.

More funding doesn't change it, it just raises the stakes.

SICP is an amazing book that will make you a better programmer, but might not help you with the task of writing better professional Python programs. If you aspire to understand computing systems from first-principles, there's no better resource that SICP. I've read it multiple times and I learn something new each time.

Do the exercises too!

I'm failing to see how the rewrite you mentioned delivered any value _to Netscape_.

Right, but sort of the point of this article is that launching a long rewrite that delivers no value doesn't help the business aka it's NOT everybody working together. It's the tech team going off working by themselves.

They also reinforce their reputation of using dark UI patterns hostile to their paying customers.

This type of thing doesn't come for free, IMO. There's a cost to this, even if they don't pay it in the short term.

Still waiting for the string of articles about the superyachts that all the bank executives bought after the 2009 bailouts.

/sarcasm

Do any of the web accessibility issues come up for other platforms as well? How does the iOS screenreader handle Flutter-generated views on iOS?

"It doesn't seem like the Semantic HTML issue will ever be solved too, the Flutter team did mention in the latest conference that they're aiming it more to be used for web apps than websites."

I'm not sure I understand the distinction between web apps and web sites. Don't both of those experiences need to be accessible?

Thanks for sharing your input! Helpful to hear from folks actually using the tech and not just arm-chair analysis.

A feature for who?

Well, if that's what the research shows than the effort wasn't "wasted". Don't confuse your opinions with facts.

What does Software Engineering actually mean then?

Before you did agile, were there ever death marches, slipped deadlines, pissed off clients, or long crunches?

Your comment has the sparkle of nostalgia for glory days gone by.

Not everything in life has to be "fun". Sometimes important things aren't fun to do, but we do them because they are important.

Seeking endless fun is vain and meaningless. Doing meaningful work requires discipline and perseverance, it won't always be fun but it'll be more satisfying.

JVM is easily one of the best runtimes out there by any objective measure.

(JVM != Java, remember)

These types of fails are generally due to incompetence, in my experience.

Probably because a lot of pen testing is security theatre.

As a counter example: I've seen that plenty of times. PhDs too.

Minus the whole slavery thing, no?

Super excited to see this! Clojure is an absolutely delightful language to use professionally (not to mention insanely productive). I've heard great things about Flutter and Dart also from people I trust and admire.
