Underrated joke

They probably not allowed, because of NDA

it's one of my favourite songs of all time

Just checked the capabilities of motion graphics with claude opus 5.5, manim, remotion, threejs and had to share. Really impressed by what could be achieved in 300k tokens

Tbh I think you are right. The problem is now striking the right balance, like we don’t need everybody to know how to build each part of smartphone or chip, but there should be significant group with that ability. This will be a huge challenge

for a long time, I was roasted on HN for seeing any capabilities in programing ai. Recently tables turned and more people see that ai is not leaving and will stay with us

underrated analogy to claiming Santa Claus being real by nephew. lmao

it's hard to be swayed into skeptic camp if you see how it works and it really solves those hard problems that took hours. Genie is out of the bottle

Just some programming humour. Yes, I know I used AI, really aware of that. But it's for fun as commentary on current state

why it's not on the front page oh HN? It doesn't matter anymore when 1k people are fired from big tech

I did at the beginning, but there is only so much you can take, and no one cares if you have read books and seen it before. There were a bunch of programmers whom I thought would understand em dashes, but they did not and said no one uses such dashes only normal hyphens.

Em dashes ended up as one of the first victims of llm age

they are Lean certified, so in theory they should work. It's automated programming language for proving math, but it doesn't mean that you can't make mistakes there, although way less likely

I got restricted on X for making fun of Matt Pocock ai methods like GRILL ME while having verified account and paying subscription. It's back to normal, but it was demotivating experience and I stopped caring about X

My best guess was that video would be the last frontier, but I think I was naive about that too. The amount of content we’re producing right now and the changes coming to YouTube (allowing A/B testing of video edits). For example plan is to test multiple intros to retain the audience, might offer a glimpse into the endgame.

You're fucking rails programmer. You're the best of of the best. This is goddman Top Gun I'm looking at here -- DHH, Rails World 2026 opening keynote, moments before calling everyone loser

I really like the direction Topcoat is going in as a Rails developer. Although it is just a bit itchy to my eyes, it is not acid-level, though.

The things that look great are LiveView and getting rid of boilerplate for client-side reactivity

When I started as rails dev in 2013, it was really the top solution for producing MVP fast. Now, I don’t think that’s the case and most of the incentives are gone if we are no longer writing code by hand

also worth noting that hotwire is dead according to DHH in this talk. The rendering html server side is old way now

that's a killer name

it's funeral of Ruby on Rails

I don't know if it counts as a project, but I just posted my first YouTube video yesterday after spending 100 hours learning about cameras, audio, and video editing in Final Cut Pro. I just want to share my thoughts on programming and tech in general, and doing that on a blog has become much harder nowadays because trust in written content has been lost.

tbh, sounds like a made-up term coined by someone who could go on and on

Yep, HN loves/loved Ruby :)

same problem, it wasn't exaclty the best experience with first programming language

I didn't win logo programming competition in polish equivalent of 7th grade and I am still salty about it

I wrote article about it couple months ago that I didn't believe it works. Nice to see numbers now

the tricky part about React Native is that you almost always need to use it with expo.

I developed React native app for ios as side project and took breaks often and came back to have to do big updates with expo to make it work again. Maybe there is smoother process, but this was annoying

I believe this will be overall trend in industry. Dropping React Native and Flutter for native

there are more issues currently than ViewComponent and I am planning to do video essay (not very technical one) on future of rails.

Overall, interesting read, although very heavy on bullet points

are we really moving the goalpost after solving Millenium Prize Problem? Six years ago that would be something, but today let's move the goalpost

hmm, maybe not sentiments, running commands can produce binary results to reinforce, but that's also speculation
