I’m unimpressed with this take. AI will replace those that fail to adapt their skills to the new strategies required to orchestrate the new systems that tie AI solutions together. Someone still has to instruct the AI and I’ve yet to see enough evidence to convince me this tech can be adequately used to replace my abilities… but it will replace my homies that stayed complacent and thought they’d be able to coast by on some archaic knowledge from 15 years ago when we first started.

Could’ve just explained it in less words.

Junior dev: Make me a sandwich.

Senior dev: We’re building a sandwich. It needs a roasted tomato, thin sliced, X mm in thickness. Add some bacon. I want mayonnaise but it needs to be feature gated.

One sandwich later. . .

Senior dev: where’s my bread man?

> Interestingly, the official blog post announcing it was published and then quickly deleted.

What blog post are you talking about? This is still up: https://blog.google/technology/developers/introducing-gemini...

It generated the entire comment service and I’ve not noticed any issues with how it functions. I kinda took note of that specifically because I have never seen GORM used that way.

The entire gig economy developed through apps like Uber look weak to me. It would be really easy to make a competing app that gives more negotiating power to the drivers for their fares. Also I don't need a % based processing cut, I just need $1 - $5 per ride, flat rates feel better for both end users involved in that type of product. The marketing campaign should be easy for this too.

Edits: ugh typos

I think every senior dev today should maintain the stance that if nobody will employ us, we should compete. If I ever end up in a position where I’m unemployed, I’m going to just use my skills to segment and dilute the market because idle hands and all.

Kubernetes just kinda won the container orchestration war against swarm, nomad, and mesos. It is quite an improvement over working with those orchestrators.

My strategy involves building stateless apps with distributed services that have good support in Kubernetes like Yugabyte and Minio.

What I do is host the thing on a cheap cloud server until it grows enough to need HA or scaling. At that point I move my workloads into a cluster.

I already have everything patterned out though so, I’m living in some sunk costs if anything newer or truly better comes along.

Seems the memo got lost. We don’t like dealing with traffic.

Easier to just run Yugabyte in Kubernetes. Has a helm chart. I never liked vacuuming or hacky pool processes.

Are you saying cronjobs in Kubernetes doesn't scale well? Specifically this core resource here is what I'm wondering about: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/cr...

I just don't see what doesn't "scale" exactly here. Been using k8s for 7 years, never had a problem that wasn't my own fault. Even for parallel processing, I feel like there's so many options and patterns to use because it depends on the task the job does.

This entire article is laughable. Back when I was in the dating pool, I encountered a couple of women that had this mentality that they would be dating down because I don't have a degree. Unbeknownst to them, I commanded a six figure salary and it was I who would be dating down had I stuck with them and their poor worldview. This mentality needs to just stop though, the idea of "dating down" or "dating up" is just nonsense.

Feel like the odds are you just leaked your own api key.

Just reporting back for anyone that needs to know this: Would've been nice to know in advance that it's an SFO only position. That's a very different standard of living.

AI is only a tool. You still have to put work in. That's all I'm going to say.

I passed the backend thing. Totally cheated though. lmao

The story here is that grafana took a well known js implementation in go and forked it. They did make it better, the README seems to lead me to believe they implemented the regex js normally supports.

I think you misunderstand the free beer quote because those tools are free as in freedom not as free beer.

Competing looks like starting with what other people are already doing and making it better.

Bold claims. Is it a licensed dietitian in the state of Texas?

Haven't read it yet, will come back with an opinion after I see what all the fuss is about.

Edit: Read the bill. Pretty short.

Reminds me of the fight against cryptographic systems. Kinda hilarious imo.

IANAL

I thought launch on startup was already a solved problem, suppose I could be wrong though. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-items-automati...

I thought config files can’t be copyrighted. The post talks about what appears to just be a config file.

Haven't stopped yet, I'm not above taking sage advice.

Informed consent is sexy. In the Apple ecosystem, we’re literally paying customers. This is ridiculous. This line you parroted is ridiculous. This needs to stop.

Title does not match article. Spam?

I have been deploying Yugabyte via helm for my local development recently in kind. It's like a distributed version of postgres 12 or so. It takes a lot of guess work out of sharding and replication that you would need to do with normal Postgres.

Wonder how much of that is due to local taxes or perhaps tariffs. Pricing cross currency is more than just an exchange rate calculation.

What's the domain?

Bravo sir. This is a work of art.

I disabled my cofounder matching account due to how many people seem to think LLMs are a good idea for many things they just aren't good at. The race to the bottom for customer service is definitely afoot right now.

The most useful and valuable feature of LLMs imo is using the embeddings to enhance document search. There are smaller models that are just as good for this though.

Some of the raft failure modes for CockroachDB suck to recover from. In testing I've had better results with Yugabyte. If licensing is such a big deal though, CockroachDB loses over Dgraph and Yugabyte.

I doubt anyone will really do anything worth-while in maintaining CockroachDB when it's latest version eventually does falls into Apache licensing.
