donperignon··on The current state of LLM-driven development
Yeah if I want I to develop I need tooling around me. Still trivial to learn. Not a difficult skill. Not an specific skill to llm.
donperignon··on The current state of LLM-driven development
I’m still waiting that someone claiming how prompting is such an skill to learn, explain just once a single technique that is not obvious, like: storing checkpoint to go back to working version (already a good practice without using Llm see:git) or launch 10 tabs with slightly different prompts and choose the best, or ask the Llm to improve my prompt, or adding more context … is that an skill? I remember when I was a child that my mom thought that programming a vcr to record the night show to be such a feat…
donperignon··on The current state of LLM-driven development
I didn’t say it’s useless.
donperignon··on The current state of LLM-driven development
LLM’s are basically glorified slot machines. Some people try very hard to come up with techniques or theories about when the slot machine is hot, it’s only an illusion, let me tell you, it’s random and arbitrary, maybe today is your lucky day maybe not. Same with AI, learning the “skill” is as difficult as learning how to google or how to check stackoverflow, trivial. All the rest is luck and how many coins do you have in your pocket.
donperignon··on RP2350 A4, RP2354, and a New Hacking Challenge
I have been using RPI pico for my projects lately. It is really nice mcu, tooling is pretty good, and the development process using i.e. vscode is pretty straightforward. Documentation is also pretty good. Functionality wise, pretty much standard features, but PIO stands out, a lot of potential there on future iterations (i can imagine a mini-fpga in each pin of the device). But i went back to stm32fx after finding many many issues integrating an sd card, i waste so many hours debugging the issue that works flawlessly on the stm32, is very probable that is my fault but i couldnt continue throwing time into it. other than that has bright future, specially PIO and RISCV core.
donperignon··on Claude Code weekly rate limits
So we are not touching the rate limits for those that doesn’t reach them… that’s passive aggressive behavior in my opinion
donperignon··on C3 solved memory lifetimes with scopes
I am having a hard time to connect the title with what they present. Is this just freeing memory when the program leaves the current context? How that matches the rust lifetime borrow checker?… this is a defer function that frees whatever has been allocated within a given scope, not that useful, unless i am missing something…
donperignon··on Data on AI-related Show HN posts
Yeah i am so sick and tired. It was so refreshing to read HN and always find something interesting, now its tiresome, AI marketing everywhere and comments from people that doesn't even like to program and they now can develop a todo list app at the expense of 200$ for whatever claude has release that week.. sad.
donperignon··on We're all CTO now
That’s why I said it’s like it but on steroids. It is what is it’s.i didn’t try (insert here last hyped version of whatever) I tried the mainstream services and it’s definitely not like to be “a manager” or CTO of agents
donperignon··on We're all CTO now
Is not the first time that I read this kind of narrative, actually appears pretty often in my LinkedIn timeline. We are now managers of agents and now we are CTO of agents… this is plain delusional, you can play with the toys all day long, a mud cake won’t sell very well. This CTO doesn’t code much, I agree, if you are a contributor you know that so called agents are as useful as google and stack overflow on steroids, nothing more than that unless you have no idea of what you are doing.
donperignon··on YouTube No Translation
Please this trend needs to stop, it’s so annoying. Subtitles are good enough and more respectful than this crappy uncontrolled auto transactions
donperignon··on What would a Kubernetes 2.0 look like
Probably like docker swarm
donperignon··on Rate limit changes for non-Marketplace apps on Slack
Ai excuses… this implicitly is making slack data a walled garden, for big accounts those limits are ridiculous, makes interop impractical.
donperignon··on European Investment Bank to inject €70B in European tech
From my personal experience this funds most of the time end up being absorbed by big corporations that had the contacts and the bureaucratic muscle. So basically it's throwing away 70B euros of citizen taxes.
donperignon··on Material 3 Expressive
I wish I could upvote you ten times.
donperignon··on Car companies are in a billion-dollar software war
Beware connectivity in cars, it is not for your good, it’s all about telemetry and profiling.
donperignon··on Stack Overflow Is Down
Something like this used to be in the front page of this page and heavily commented. The fact that happens without notice is a testament of how bad SO is nowadays and how LLM has eaten that piece of pie completely.
donperignon··on PHP 8.4
It’s difficult for me to trust a framework backed by venture capital (https://blog.laravel.com/accel-invests-57m-into-laravel). There are too many incentives to prioritize making money, which makes it easy to overlook developer experience. I rather use Symfony instead.
donperignon··on HTML First
This trend makes total sense given the current web panorama.

I have been disabling javascript for a lot of websites during the last year, the experience is not damage at all, it's the oposite, you get a snappier navigation, no ads tracking and if you have bandwidth issues you now can browse those sites without problem.

The drawbacks, some interactivity is lost, but nothing major.

donperignon··on Making a music library without a SPA
So the solution to cache a resource it's to use an SPA? why not find the reason for this css not being cached and solve it?
donperignon··on Customers Don't Want to Call for Support
With the recent improvements in voice recognition and deep learning algorithms, machine-driven support is just about to happen soon. Plus there are many companies actually working on that field, ie. http://www.artificial-solutions.com or http://www.anbotogroup.com/en/index.php
