lovetocode··on Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?
This could be better summed up to the misuse of skills. Skills were not designed to be a way to make an agent more intelligent. Instead, skills are designed to allow agents to have certain tasks that are repeatable and predictable. It’s a misnomer really.
lovetocode··on Google has acquired the data of failed US airline Spirit
I can’t help ask but what? They say it’s for training their models. On what? One of the most horribly run airlines to ever exist?
lovetocode··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
Well put. I wonder if this will inevitably increase usage costs because the model has to do more work to find a solution that meets watermarking standards.

If it’s an EU law can you atleast only enable it for EU customers? I don’t even serve eu anymore because of gdpr

Not all backends are web applications. I have built many step functions applications for various ETL type workloads with massive success with little to no complexity. Just because someone doesn't understand the technology doesn't make it "complex"

lovetocode··on Why I'm using Next.js
That’s great to hear! Did you find it hard to learn?
lovetocode··on Why I'm using Next.js
I love types I just struggle with Typescript a lot because it seems to get in the way for me. I might like it more if I buckled down and really tried to figure it out. It’s probably the slowest language for me to grasp maybe outside of Objective C. When you try to enforce typing on a language that wasn’t designed ground up with types in mind it just rubs me the wrong way. Python type hinting strikes a good balance though.
lovetocode··on Why I'm using Next.js
Is anyone just using vanilla React with no TypeScript or Framework of any kind? I’ve tried Remix and Next js and just find them so cumbersome. Typescript causes me more headaches

lovetocode··on Why I stopped using an external monitor
I couldn't imagine this being healthy for your eye sight.
lovetocode··on Why I stopped using an external monitor
I tried this as well for about 8 months and ended up going back to an external monitor setup. Why? Health reasons. The ergonomics of using a laptop everyday is detrimental to your posture. Being hunched over and looking down at a laptop all day is not healthy. You can still have bad posture with an external monitor but now these risks are avoidable if you are disciplined enough. With a laptop you really have no choice but to have poor posture.

lovetocode··on Ask HN: How does your company handle late running projects?
My old company used to add more to scope and increase working hours/cancel holidays. in fact they always planned a release on thanksgiving because you know thats a good idea.
lovetocode··on Ask HN: Solopreneurs, how do you maintain a professional/social network?
Making friends as an adult is a deliberate process. You have to intentionally pursue it. Don't look for only tech people, it is important to have a diverse network of friends where each provides their own unique value to the friendship. For example -- I joined CrossFit for the sole purpose of making more friends, getting in shape was just a plus. There I can meet people of all walks of life that I typically wouldn't otherwise.

Absolutely -- fair enough
lovetocode··on How and why I built Japan Dev
Ah ok, thank you for the response and congratulations on your sucess!

Hotwire I believe wasn't introduced yet but was close to release when I left the Rails dev community.

It sounds like you have been using Blazor a lot more than I have so I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t any massive traffic yet. Is this something I can reproduce with a benchmarking tool?
lovetocode··on How and why I built Japan Dev
I really enjoyed reading this and I hate reading.

How did you go from 12 months of no revenue to actually generating revenue? Did you provide your service for free w/o any payment options? I imagine job seekers were free to use the board but companies were required to pay to post on your board. Did it basically take 12 months to gain enough traction with job seekers to entice employers to post on your board instead of manually adding them for free yourself?

Thank you -- I have heard of fsharp but wasn't really familiar with the answer to the question of why use it?

I haven't worked with Rails since Rails 5 so I dont know if I could do a fair comparison of how they are as it stands today. Check one of the comment replies above where I outlined some of my thoughts in a similar question.
lovetocode··on .NET 6 is now in Ubuntu 22.04
For the most part, I think there is a lot of feature parity between the .NET and Ruby on Rails frameworks when it comes to developer tooling.

As I grow older I guess I am growing more fond of statically typed languages. It's easier for my decaying/distracted brain to reason about. There is less mental overhead I suppose [might be a good blog post?]

They both have a good database migration system and various generators for scaffolding views, controllers, etc. To be fair I believe Entity Framework does most of the work for the .NET side on the database developer tooling but I just consider it part of the .NET ecosystem since it seems to be the go-to ORM/database tooling library. I want to be fair to Rails -- I really think they set the bar very high for other frameworks. Productivity w/ Rails was unprecedented when it first came out. I started during the Rails 3 to 4 upgrade.

Both ecosystems have easy access to outside libraries using Nuget/Gemfile. So pulling in a background processor like Sidekiq [Ruby] or Hangfire [C#] is fairly easy.

Cross platform support is acceptable across both frameworks as well. I can setup an EC2 instance and run both Rails and .NET applications side-by-side. So deployments are going to be similar but I would argue that .NET has the upper-hand because it can deploy do a self-contained deploy so you don't have to worry about installing dotnet in the deployment environment.

I am using Blazor Server and I am not going to say something drastic like it will kill React but it is pretty awesome. I can build my entire web experience with C# but with Rails I have to introduce React when I sometimes dont want to. Blazor prevents me from having to write HTTP code from my front to backend systems and as an indie developer that is a godsend.

Both have gorgeous documentation -- I thought Rails was good and thorough but .NET ate their lunch.

I just jumped on the .NET Core gravy train after 6+ years of Ruby on Rails development. I feel so productive and confident working with .NET. Ill be riding this rollercoaster with you for a while!
