Well, ChatGPT works. Why would anyone care whether the CEO can code?

The worst example of vendor lock I have seen since WebSphere

Someone vibe-coded the brake control system in your car. It passes the tests. Is it good enough for you?

> extremely productive camp somewhere in the middle

How do you quantify and measure this productivity gain?

Would Lockdown Mode improve security in cases where the phone is physically connected to a malicious device, such as one from Cellebrite?

Ironically, the site is down

While engineering managers are enamored with the thing, it will go on. But, the agentic development will ruin multiple companies and become unfashionable. Bet on your skills, taste, and intuition. Don’t fall into fomo.

Not just something, it is PII i.e. doxxing

For microcontrollers, maybe

The elephants in the room are react and webpack.

Still expecting to get paid for the time spent waiting for CC to get back up?

> no human wants to hand-write: implementing every fs method variant (sync, callback, promises), wiring up test coverage

That’s so dehumanizing, I would happily write such code.

>Idk why this kills peoples passions

Corporate management is full on FOMO and pushes agents down onto teams

This has been called a “vendor lock” for as long as I can remember. Congratulations, you’ve put yourself in a position where you can’t do your job without a single tool that can degrade or disappear at any moment.

> Also, this is dumb because anyone who wants fixes like this will have to find a fork like mine with them

Or a human will provide the fix?

Impressive. Some interop with established standards such as OpenAPI or gRPC would make it an easier sell for non-greenfield projects

Fork it?

Somehow, a CAD program, a 3D editor, a video editor, broadcasting software, a circuit simulation package, etc are all native applications with thousands of features each - yet native development has nothing to offer?

Kudos to all mc developers!

The coils are too tight. The tension on the plastic pulled it apart.

Valuable wallets should only be accessed from designated devices with no unrelated software installed on them.

Quit. Doing the work you hate will burn you out, faster than you’d expect. The worst part is to pretend to be enthusiastic about the tech, while in the same time knowing it’s just not worth your time. If you don’t have enough savings and leaving the job isn’t an option right now, maybe just stay for several months and learn some tech that is complex and boring enough to not to attract too many ”vibe” people

I still use nvAlt (formerly Notational Velocity) for note taking. It is synced to a Dropbox folder. I can use the native Dropbox app to search, view, and edit the files. What I really like is the speed of note taking and searching in the nvAlt app. All my notes have a title in a loose format such as "project_name keyword ... keyword". It takes a second to find the note I need. Therefore, nvAlt serves as a bookmark manager as well. Obsidian feels clunky and slow, and I couldn't get it to switch to the .txt file extension (which is possible to edit via Dropbox on an iPhone).

Are your thyroid hormones ok, specifically?

A good portion of free VPN apps sell their traffic. This was the thing even before the AI bot explosion.

…somehow, it uses 99.9% opacity for the fill…

I usually start with the long polling/SSE and migrate to WebSockets when needed. It is cheap and reliable with almost no performance overhead when compared to WebSockets.

In C++ one can combine RAII with allocators in order to avoid calling alloc/frees in latency critical paths.

There is no reason for the delay to be more than 100ms. The 1 sec delay must be due to some extremely inefficient lazy init or a bunch of io happening when you switch between screens

WASM just moves vulnerabilities to the wrapping code. If you use FS, then you still have to prevent the wrapper from stealing your /etc/passwd, so container it is
