AI Is a Bad Tool 9 days ago

I usually like to write elegant code using Python and frameworks like Django.

The pleasure comes from the "the only right lines of code" instead of "the most lines of code".

"Python 3.14 shipped with a new incremental garbage collector. However, we’ve had a number of reports of significant memory pressure in production environments.

We’ve decided to revert it in both 3.14 and 3.15, and go back to the generational GC from 3.13."

Sounds the right move for me

I think LLMs are accelerating us toward a Dune-like universe, where humans come before AI.

I do. The pros are hosting own data and have total control over stack and cloud hosting. The cons are having to code your own stack and do cloud management. I use PostGis to storage and serve vector tiles. And I use a simple backend with AWS S3 to store and serve raster data (GeoTiff COG).

It was nice in 2015-2017 when I got a free Windows 10 license for my Dell Ubuntu Linux Notebook (much cheaper to buy in Brazil). Back then most of the games only was on Windows. Nowadays I have a Lenovo with Windows 10/11 license but I do not used Windows since 2024.
