Microslop produces terrible stuff, as bad as they ever have. How on earth can you put mr copilot 365 windows 10 is the last edition above Tim Cook!?

There's a Bahn mí place in Manchester, UK that does my fav one ever

This is fantastic. Feels like something that should've been in there from the start!

Valve aren't owned by private equity and other giant corporations so they make good decisions and do things fans like.

A lot of their entire platform is built on mods they've bought and turned into proper 1st class games (cs, dota, Garys mod etc)

Well thats because it isn't really a macOS app. its just the web app.

The issue is 95% of users dont use the features that adobe is so much better at. I've moved from PS to Pixelmator and there are even more moving from PS to Canva. Doesnt matter to most users that PS generative fill is better.

I did exactly the same, for creating graphics / posters. Love Pixelmator... is PS better at some stuff? For sure, but it's not stuff I need. Thats adobes issue.

This kind of stuff is simply a result to certain companies having a userbase bigger than they maybe even want (especially when offering a free tier).

They can get away with not implementing even basic stuff, becauase their core feature is all 99% of the users even care about.

Sure, looks good. I often do templating.

However drizzle makes it very very straightfoward to handle DB migration / versioning, so I like it a lot for that.

I've had a really pleasant experience with Drizzle as an ORM. It feels straightforward compared to some of the incredibly bloated alternatives.

Finally a vision of the future I can get behind

This was a delightful read. You have done the world a service there, truly!

what a pointless excersize this is

It depends what environment you're operating within.

I've used LLMs for code gen at work as well as for personal stuff.

At work primarily for quick and dirty internal UIs / tools / CLIs it's been fantastic, but we've not unleashed it on our core codebases. It's worth noting all the stuff we've got out of out are things we'd not normally have the time to work on - so a net positive there.

Outside of work I've built some bespoke software almost entirely generated with human tweaks here and there - again, super useful software for me and some friends to use for planning and managing music events we put on that I'd never normally have the time to build.

So in those ways I see it as massively increasing productivity - to build lower stakes things that would normally just never get done due to lack of time.

it does actually sound good

I really like the simplicity of this.

I have a couple projects I could see this being really useful in, at least as an option instead of pure plain text. I still feel like consumers don't like markdown though, it's frustrating.

One thing I noticed, when doing a list (bullet, numbered etc) it would be great if the list continued on barrage return (enter) - most general users would expect that I think.

There are lots and lots and lots of us that don't like using VSCode, want to use our own IDE of choice and use Claude Code. Terminal / standalone app is best for me there or even better an IDE plugin.

A tiny island is fine for a tool like this - not everything needs an 'ecosystem'.

This is not the same. Because SO, google etc require actual research, introspection, prompting AI does not.

And they were right. People who just blindly copy and paste code from SO are absolutely useless when it comes to handling real world problems, bugs etc.

3. your green field project growing into legacy project.

This is always a fun one...

"Who wrote / designed this garbage... Oh wait, it was me"

My god this comment made me feel old.

God forbid you have to remember to save your work!

No doubt you've learned a hell of a lot from this.

I would imagine this will set you up incredibly well for a career in the industry, arguably moreso than your actual degree. Any reasonable prospective potential hirer is gonna be super impressed by it I think.

I think the widespread use of that for education would have precisely the opposite outcome that you'd want.

Nothing sinks in to anyones brain because they're not actually talking about it and they don't need to actually learn it for any reason in school because they can just ask the chatbot again at any moment.

Because its very stable, very fast and very well documented / supported.

Absolutely incredible work

I hate and love this at the same time

You'd hope so, but this is likely a move to placate detractors so the army of Nintendo fans buy whatever insanely underpowered and overpriced device they eventually release.

Depends how private the account they're posting the opinion on is!

I think this is the key though really, and what peeves me the most.

NextJS is fine to self host if you don't need any of the features that actually make it worth dealing with all the additional complexity.

Essentially if you want any of the special sauce you have to host on vercel, or use opennext guides to build equivalent infra.

Its just not worth the complexity for me to use.

Unless you want a very painful experience then you basically have to host it on vercel.
