I am the real Stuart.
The fact that a VSCode-based GPT-wrapper is being offered $3B tells you how desperate the LLM companies are.
Anthropic and xAI will also make similar acquisitions to increase their token usage.
All Google apps icons do look very similar though.
Yeah, it is. But is it growing or shrinking in the market share, that's the real question.
One could argue that making tech decisions while completely ignoring popularity charts is more questionable.
I corrected the mistake. It went from #10 to #5. Only language with such secular decline.
Thanks. Corrected.
Do you think there is no criteria worth considering besides the size of the hiring pool? What if 2 hiring pool are sufficiently big, do you still pick the bigger one every time?
It is not just a hiring pool. Look at various third-party SASS tools, they see Ruby as a second-grade language to support.
As per GitHub's popularity chart, Ruby was the #5 language in 2014, and #10 in 2022 - https://octoverse.github.com/2022/top-programming-languages
Starting a new commercial project/company in 2024 in Ruby is questionable.
Why? I don't expect all ACX meetup folks to be programmers.
I love the code blocks on your site. They look awesome and are interactive. Which Javascript library is it?
