“I call him ‘General Boomba’”

It makes if you use any sort of front-end library like React, Vue, Svelte, etc. The components are your semantic boundaries and the tailwind classes don’t need to be descriptive beyond what they actually do.

We should just never stop shaming for it. Someone wearing a swastika on the bus should be booed until their stop. It could bring the rest of us together, even.

That said, I think it might all be a distraction from society’s real enemies: the oligarchs.

It’s been clear something’s wrong well before any of this.

We need a maximum wage.

Realistically, the American Taxpayers would be better off funding 24/7 golf. His hours off the golf course cost them much more…

More than two would be unnecessary, but two just makes good sense.

Another obituary I cannot fucking wait for.

It’s gonna be a lake of urine when everyone’s done pissing on his grave. Might as well make it a toilet. A toilet of solid gold, though.

So our generation will be the first to have to teach both our boomer parents AND our millennial offspring what “RAM” is?!

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

It’s like if batteries got stupid expensive and they tried to tell us 200km of range is what you get in a touring EV these days. But the distances between all the places haven’t changed…

So RAM costs them more now, and they need to pass those costs onto customers. However, it seems like they’re also trying to redefine what “mid-range” means to us all, as if we aren’t fully aware of what computers are capable of and what amount of memory is good vs not. Making the various ranges cost more is intuitive. Enshitifying the ranges to sell them at the same price is just antithetical to the whole concept of the ranges…

What the people want isn’t always right either. Case in point: Trump.

Democracies work if the society invests in educating the voting public. This government does the opposite because they know smart = more likely left leaning.

This makes a lot of sense. He’s a narcissist and knows his most valuable asset is his fucking name. So naturally he has to believe that genes are the most important factor in assessing someone’s quality, otherwise he’s just an old moron with a disastrous history of poor investments. But! He’s a Trump. So, therefore, he is awesome.

But points all of NORAD at Pete Hegseth

Good bot!

I imagine they’re just dipping each page in a barrel of black ink

This poster https://calckey.world/notes/afzolhb0xk is more articulate than my post.

The difference between this “spec-driven” approach is that the entire process is repeatable by AI once you’ve gotten the spec sorted. So you no longer work on the code, you just work on the spec, which can be a collection of files, files in folders, whatever — but the goal is some kind of determinism, I think.

I use it on a much smaller scale and haven’t really cared much for the “spec as truth” approach myself, at this level. I also work almost exclusively on NextJS apps with the usual Tailwind + etc stack. I would certainly not trust a developer without experience with that stack to generate “correct” code from an AI, but it’s sort of remarkable how I can slowly document the patterns of my own codebase and just auto-include it as context on every prompt (or however Cursor does it) so that everything the LLMs suggest gets LLM-reviewed against my human-written “specs”. And doubly neat is that the resulting documentation of patterns turns out to be really helpful to developers who join or inherit the codebase.

I think the author / developer in the article might not have been experienced enough to direct the LLMs to build good stuff, but these tools like React, NextJS, Tailwind, and so on are all about patterns that make us all build better stuff. The LLMs are like “8 year olds” (someone else in this thread) except now they’re more like somewhat insightful 14 year olds, and where they’ll be in another 5 years… Who knows.

Anyway, just saying. They’re here to stay, and they’re going to get much better.

Untrained dev here, but the trend I’m seeing is spec-driven development where AI generates the specs with a human, then implements the specs. Humans can modify the specs, and AI can modify the implementation.

This approach seems like it can get us to 99%, maybe.

If we can get them to boycott Walmart too somehow, we can just starve them out entirely. They can’t afford to boycott the best value in town.

I’d love to see a Japanese fan style phone 🪭 Maybe it folds up into a reusable straw?
