reconvene1290··on Proton's AI manifesto for software engineering
> This is not the death of expertise. The LLM is fast. You are slow, but you carry with you a lifetime of experience

How do you think one gains “experience”?! If humans can’t identify bad code then how useful is the AI really being?

They’re going too hard in the wrong direction here. AI as a recommender and reviewer _is_ the correct path; it should enhance not replace.

Proton’s secure promise is going to be broken soon, and we (the non-customers) are all going to be warming our hands on the flames.

Would be great if a non-Amazon / non-Apple service popped up that allows for buying mp3; one that allowed for re-downloading, so kept your “library” safe but not hostage.

It’s all in the approach: start with a “thank you for the project”, and a “hope you don’t mind but I’ve corrected a few typos” and nobody will shout you down. Only go with a blank PR description and it’ll come across as arrogant and spammy.

Lover = bit on the side.

Partner = main romantic connection.

reconvene1290··on Show HN: Willpayforthis.com – Gathering posts about what people will pay for
In reality, people won’t pay for things they say they will; it’s cheap rhetoric to try to get maintainers to add their niche feature.

Nice idea though, maybe add some more data sources to increase confidence in data (and hopefully prove me wrong).

reconvene1290··on PHP 8.4
> PHP 8.4 is a major update of the PHP language.

No it’s not: it’s a MINOR update.

Must be one sexy LED display.
reconvene1290··on Show HN: Preprocessor I've been working 4 years now
I like the closing tags (others don’t seem to) as they help with visual scanning and auto formatting. Nice project, well done!
