I use go because of the large and useful stdlib. I rarely have to reach for an external library, and even then I only consider libraries that are very popular. If a library isn’t available, I’ll just write my own, using the stdlib. I recently used the awesome crypto library to implement an envelope encryption system, I didn’t need anything outside of the stdlib or Google’s x library (x is effectively the experimental stdlib).

Having too much external code, like npm or rust crates, seems like a nightmare for me.

You only said “You don't learn by reading” which I took literally what do you expect. I’m triggered by senior engineers who don’t read code, luckily you’re not one of them. Your original comment was terse as hell.

Also, “classy.” As a phrase is about as “classy” as my original comment, so i guess we’re both passive aggressive jerks

You’re not as senior as you think if you think reading code isn’t worth it. Do you think novelists just write novels from nothing? They read books. Software developers need to read software, too. When was the last time you read the code for the best open source software in your industry? I routinely read the libraries I use.

YouTube music’s recommendations suck hard compared to Spotify and all the people I know who use it (a dozen) say the same thing. The only reason any of us use it seems to be because we only want to pay for one music service and we all use YouTube premium anyways. It’s amazing how big a hole that is in the service, that everyone I know agrees with the same thing.

I gave up on recommendations and I just playlist my own music preferences over time. Like in the days of old.

A guy on Facebook with more confidence and better insurance

Of course I’m fearful, I have a family and a disabled kid. Idiots voted for trump now I have to make sure my family is safe. Of course I’m not gonna to stuff to get myself arrested, what do you think this is, a game?

OK so explain how it’ll be okay with you being arrested, spending tens of thousands on lawyers, and probably losing your job and having strangers think you’re a criminal.

It won’t just be fine, thousands are arrested for bullshit every day and their lives are ruined, you’re extremely naive if you think otherwise.

Your comments are literally just wishful thinking, get a fucking clue. Smart people are being violently detained and assaulted by the law every single day.

They’ll use whatever laws they can and you’ll get imprisoned. They don’t play by the rules. They’ll just ignore that you were doing that for a political purpose and call you a pervert or terrorist or something. You can’t think your way out of authoritarianism with intelligence.

If you’re not that familiar with the project then what’s it to you?

Personally, I think this is great and I’m going to send this to my boss who might have to make a similar decision someday. It seems to me like they could have just sold the product to them but went to lengths to keep it independent; that’s the type of thing we should encourage.

No offense intended but sometimes this type of comment sounds like the other side of the AI psychosis coin, like an anti AI psychosis.

No, the art is calling out what’s always been there but you didn’t notice.

Yea I’ve had troubles with relative imports when working on two or more go projects that had to be designed together.

Thanks, I am lucky to avoid those issues working with go, but now I’m annoyed that those decisions were made, I have honestly never thought about the trouble that assigning URLs as import locators could cause but yea that would be a pain if we ever had to deal with any of that.

Thanks for your time writing that. A blog post would be great.

What’s the downside? Go does library versioning very well, IMO, but I like to hear other opinions.

It may sound like I’m rich but I’m just generous to service workers who help me out.

Less than three is a classic!

Yea but it’s worth at least $500 to me so I’d give the guy more, personally. $100 is a nice dinner out, $500 might help pay a bill.

Hey that’s my exact experience. I started coding the interfaces by hand which helps with the architecture but you still have to say, “don’t add a bunch of helpers and stuff, stick to filling in the stubs.”

Then I only have to spend one hour handholding the clanker to get it perfect. I usually do a lot of manual refactoring as well during that time.

You have to be direct with these folks!

To the GP: the republicans have been doing what the parent comment says, buying up media networks and pushing conservative slop

Give one of the mechanics $500 and I bet they’ll accidentally drop the password on the floor of the car as they get out after moving it inside to change the oil.

Nah everyone gets along except the haoles

Tell that to Hawaii. Your whole argument is destroyed by Hawaii’s culture. America (the continent) is broken socially because American whites cannot get along with others and they’ve gone mask off, destroying the cohesion we once had when they were trying to seem less hateful.

Even if that’s correct, Bambu has a right to then press charges on the users, but can’t really complain about the guy simply copying AGPL software to make it work. He’s not the one doing the illegal part.

Bambu clearly didn’t want to press charges on their users, though, so they weaponized the law to try and prevent this, and it’s causing them issues.

In any case, we’re not in some “only the laws matter” reality, we’re also have ethics and morals to consider, in which case Bambu is clearly in the wrong. If they want to secure their servers, they should do it properly rather than using legal threats.

Yes, I build furniture for my wife’s designs. Without her my furniture wouldn’t exist. I’m the LLM in this case, capable of building things but not furniture design.

The NSA could turn on your flip phones mic thirty years ago without you knowing, I don’t think they needed to do all that fancy stuff with hard drives. That’s just research that they funded to cover up the fact that they owned every computing device on the planet for a while.

I can’t control others, what am I supposed to do? I vote, I call my congress critter, I do other stuff where I can, but I am not Sisyphus.

I am open to suggestions, I’d like to find more effective means to fight back.

What was the mistake? That cars were invented? You can’t control everything, you can’t put it back in the bottle. Do you think either of us have any control over the vibe coder type? They’re always going to be reaching for the easy button, whether that’s AI or something else.

Buddy that k10s code was never good. Go vs Rust is not the issue here, it’s the fact the project was vibe coded without reading anything. It’s hilarious to even think that a god model was caused by anything other than someone who let the bot choose too much.

Good architecture in any language is obvious to someone who is experienced and cares.

Go is actually great for bots to write if you’re actually thinking.

Wait you’re what abutting me?

What about all the red states who started the gerrymandering?

That’s the real question.

Why are you calling out one but not the other?

Because you’re a partisan hack

Nah I get better results in the end with a clanker helping me. I specify down to interfaces and stuff, I only let the bot put the functional code in, then I review it. I find AI coding tools are a real benefit for me and my quality. Not so much speed, I would say a project takes at least the same amount of time, or more, than before I used AI tools. I can talk more about it if you’re curious, maybe I should record a session so people can see how you’re supposed to use AI coding agents.

I don’t agree with the presentation, but the dead comment here has a point I agree with.

Most developers were shit before, and now they’re just faster at that shit.

AI isn’t the cause, it’s a tool being misused. Misused at a grand scale, indeed. I don’t care, that’s literally not my problem. I can’t do anything about it, so I don’t complain, I use the tool the way that helps me without producing garbage. I can only control myself and what I do with this tool, why would I get anxiety about what others are doing? Some guy is probably driving his car too fast and killing someone this instant, and vibe coding isn’t doing anything near as bad.
