My personal POV is that I've been coding from scratch when coding for creativity. It has been wildly refreshing to go back to handwriting some cool little HTML/CSS/jQuery(sometimes) static websites.

From a professional & learning standpoint? Some good points in this thread:

- Realizing I still need to code from scratch when setting up initial architecture/directory stuff like kryptoyagi said. GitHub Copilot fails at this constantly (or I suck with it)

- cpach is right... I'd guess that a >50% majority of software devs worldwide are barely using AI lol. I graduated CS not even 10 years ago and like 7 out of 8 of my friends dont want to use it (or are working on old-ass repos/govt repos)

- aslansahn is spot on, I feel like this has been the most efficient approach. Plan everything out, have it go one-by-one for you, step in manually once in awhile to course correct if necessary

tysons is a good example as well. I always think the development of the DC metro is some of the most impressive in the sense of 'cities' popping up along the train lines.

I haven't travelled the entire country but I've never seen anything quite like Silver Spring, Bethesda, or as you say, Reston. Super interesting.

super neat & fun idea! as a fellow weekend art-project tinkerer (but probably a bit more amateur), what is your flow for making apps these days? I've been building a few things myself with help from GitHub copilot but I don't have a lot of other perspectives on what people are using to whip up their neat ideas. Cursor? replit?

I know "lol" type comments aren't super typical or accepted on HN but I need to reply just to acknowledge that this comment made me legitimately laugh out loud in the workplace LOL (good luck explaining that one to my non-tech coworkers xD)

How would you say Zed is innovating? Never heard of it, just taking a peek now.

Sorry for jumping on this off-topic but I'm a junior engineer hoping to build out some of those small online businesses but I've been a bit unsure of how to go about it. When you say small online businesses do you mean like micro-SaaS kind of things? Or like tangible items? Sorry, just curious :)

This is neat! Thanks for sharing.

I've never dabbled in audio programming but am both a tech-minded musician and developer. Care to share any starter links, orgs, platforms, tools, or even your own work to point me in the right direction? ( rly, feel free to plug your own work :D )

I am unfamiliar with the differences between these two at all, as someone who uses audio plugins but does not develop with them. What are the main differences and why is OP claiming that there are far better methods of doing so?

what kind of music? I'm looking to connect with other musicians and just so happen to also be a techie on here :)

Thanks for your reply, but I am just trying to get an understanding as to whether developers that pursue this path code using a preferred tech stack or utilize some website builders or whatnot.

I've done some research but thought I'd ask someone that might have experience.

I am the same. I am searching for a career or job that will reward people like us. There is value in having a breadth of experience, knowledge, and network, but it seems harder to pitch yourself this way.

What tech stack would you recommend if I wanted to pursue this path? I know React + Node.js but I'm not sure if there might be some frameworks that might be helpful to know. A bit new to the realm.

Hi! I really like what your company is doing. :)

Are you able to hire USA citizens?

Did you receive any information yet?

That video is horrifying

I feel this way too. Maybe I misinterpreted the article but I almost felt guilty for never feeling bored. Even though I'm never bored not out of technological stimulation but rather my own internal mental stimulation. Full of ideas and thoughts and things to think more on or things to discover, areas of life I have not yet given the time to think about.

What is showing bias in this? I don't know much of that controversy so I don't know what I should be looking for.

Thanks for your response. I agree that portfolio projects show more about a person than their certifications. I never liked taking exams in school anyways. :p

Regardless, do you think that there are any MOOCs/certifications that are worth investing in, if you were going to get one anyways? Say, if your employer is paying you to get one, etc.

Thanks for your response.

Do you believe that those certifications are solid investments for any IT professional (from developer and up) or only for those that are looking to become a SysAdmin/Network Engineer? (forgive me if my terminology isn't spot-on)

What are some of your favorite MOOCs/certs? Slash what do you deem to be some of the "best" or most worth for its ROI?

What are some certs that you believe are worth investing in (i.e. ones that do require hands-on learning)?
