It's obviously Venti.

I have 3yo kid, nearly zero screen time even though I sometimes work from home with them. I don't count looking at Excel and vscode as screen time, as this lil shit is too busy destroying my immaculate "creative mess" of a desk. We're together on zoom calls, which also helps me maintain my "I'm too busy for your bullshit" image.

We're able to go on a trip on a train, bus, car with zero screens. Haven't tried the plane yet but pressure issues aside, I don't think it will be different and the "whoas" will take the majority of the time.

We watched two videos, selected by me. One was a Monster Truck derby recap, and the other was basically an ad for Jeep Rubicon.

At this age I see absolutely zero reason to stuff them with more screens. And I find it appalling when I hear adults saying "kids want more [mind numbing things]".

Is it hard? Yes, nearly impossible to manage sometimes. Is it worth it? No idea, but I do hope so. Am I bragging? Kinda, but I wanted to jump on the back tapping wagon.

I love it. I only skimmed through the post but if this project has/will have a "hey lightbulb, where did I put my keys/wallet/brain" function I'm buying/building it on the spot.

Traumatizing experience, great job. I was actually afraid my real card would get billed.

Don't worry, I was chronically online for the last 3 weeks and one day I woke up to this hype and I still don't know what it is.

Kagi's translation is absolutely top notch. I used it for a few things and while Google's, even Gemini, got some context, kagi's caught the spirit of the text perfectly.

Looking at the recent decades-old-brand renaming bonanza with MS Office I'm pretty sure they're still in Redmond.

I'm a data analyst and a bit of a data engineer,which comes with the territory. I maintain some unholy pipelines that I wrote a few years back and they were due for refactoring for a long time. I do the AI-fueled refactoring in the most basic way - paste the code, ask for suggestions, implement the ones that are sensible, ask for clarifications whenever something's new to me. The last part is absolute gold. I've learned so much with the help of AI that I think the more I use it the less I need it, rinse and repeat.

I'm at the other spectrum of what the author feels. I feel smarter and more capable with AI, and I'm actually surprised how helpful it is in my workflow. I still write code by hand but I know way more than I would without it.

Granted, I'm the "accidental programmer in a team that's completely non technical" and AI is simply a senior I'd never have otherwise. YMMV but I think if you use the tool as a more expressive Google search it can be a great companion.

Pure vibe coding is not far from "let's outsource everything", it's just a bit cheaper and more available.

Scratching my own (and my employer's, but they don't know that) itch and building a knowledge management system as a nerdy way of spending evenings. I refused to learn JS for years, but turns out it's not as bad as I thought, and TS makes it really nice, plus I like (to my surprise) SolidJS' JSX interpretation quite a lot. Half vibe-coded, half breaking things and learning a lot.

There's a YouTube video titled "AI is a hype-fueled dumpster fire" [0] that mentions OpenAI's shenanigans. I haven't fact checked that but I've heard enough stories to believe it.

I absolutely love Polars. I work on some unholy dirty data and the ease of use, chaining, speed are a godsend. One dataset that previously took 40 minutes in Pandas now takes two minutes in Polars. Granted, the Pandas query could be optimized, but out of the box, Polars eats pandas when it comes to speed and efficiency.

I basically ditched SQL for most of my analytical work because it's way easier to understand for my juniors (we're not technically a tech team) so it's a total win in my eyes.

This is why I cannot switch to neovim despite my attempts. I love the workflow, but the delay is too noticeable for me, and nothing helps. It's not a long delay, but long enough for me to feel like I have to wait for hours compared to Zed.

I have one too and I swear by it, but let's face it - it's not £16. But thanks for the tip about the cable!

I just wanted to say that's equally impressive and terrifying. Good job though!
