simultsop··on "Vibe code hell" has replaced "tutorial hell" in coding education
A few more speculative years, there will be no programming left.
simultsop··on Figure 03, our 3rd generation humanoid robot
If there's an automated system to do it for you conveniently, it becomes.
simultsop··on Go ahead, write the “stupid” code
I do not believe that the real struggle is "starting", nowadays, since AI impresses 90% that is able to complete a task. We struggle in architecting the whole thing we want to start.
simultsop··on Thoughts on Cloudflare
It is sad. The post could be a paragraph of basically ending with negative attributes of oligo and mono polies. Which are what should be evaded.

Other than that, alternatives do not go far as cloudflare does. If you experience a heavy DDOS, either you bankrupt with a large invoice or you suffer heavy outage.

I do not understand why this primary service misses to be listed. Nobody in the planet offers DDOS free, especially to news agencies at their difficult times.

simultsop··on Cloudflare Email Service: private beta
This could enable anyone serve one self with email. Not that it was not possible, but eleminates tech challenges, reverse dns and configs where you need to spiral down with ISP bureaucracy.
simultsop··on Pocket Casts, you altered the deal, so I will alter your app
If people/companies want to support a thing they think should exist, it is their sacrifice to keep it alive. I don't think as them being stupid.

For the concerns of contracts, you are not alone on the suffering side. Alltogether humanity elevated tolerance to this level, this is not a surprise.

simultsop··on How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me
Without AI, it was really hard to get to understand some docs. Today if you don't use AI for these situations shrugs

Most cases it is not that docs author forgot users wont have same toolchains. Simply do not bother reducing config files to share just source code. Indirectly pushing users to make use of same tools.

Hopefully in 20 years no one will be going to check the source code of anything, and programming is elevated even more.

50 years is crazy amount of time, to stay this primitive. Tech shouldn't just evolve for end users.

simultsop··on WASM 3.0 Completed
I am oversimplifying it, why should anything be stable?

That is the trend we face now days, there is too less stable stuff around. Take macOS, a trillion dollar company OS, not an open source without funding.

Stable is a mirage, sadly.

simultsop··on Shai-Hulud malware attack: Tinycolor and over 40 NPM packages compromised
Soon we'll see services like, havemysecretsbeenpwned.com check it against with your secrets xD given the malw seeks local creds.

To my experience 80% of companies do not care about their secrets will/being exposed.

There is this shallow belief that production will never be hacked

simultsop··on Source code for the X recommendation algorithm
I believe these are the last kicks of a dying horse/bird...

Why you take this so serious? The world is moving on. Nobody will trust anyone with their freedom of speech, ever. Is this so hard to see?

Any centralized solution qucikly implements censoring, starts banning users.

simultsop··on We put a coding agent in a while loop
Unless they have a linux with some libre office, I fail to see where there is no budget for Excel. Initially you have to keep up with windows licenses then office.
simultsop··on We put a coding agent in a while loop
You just might be in the right place. Asking same question, wait until someone will make a directory website to sell access to you to find those forums.
simultsop··on Google is killing the open web
I find it really interesting the amount of effort everyone putting in nagging a bad thing rather than ignoring and working on alternatives. I guess everyone is doing a favor to the bad decision maker. People are attracted to negative phenomens and here you go another one, and its rewarding the op.
simultsop··on How Figma’s multiplayer technology works (2019)
the guy behind a kabuki mask, stole my microbots
simultsop··on How Figma’s multiplayer technology works (2019)
There were some additional posts regarding the topic by same guy. https://hachyderm.io/@evanw

Innovators like him, are very rare.

maybe an automated bot
simultsop··on The Coming Robot Home Invasion
It took less than 20 yrs for roomba's, things have to start somewhere.
simultsop··on The Coming Robot Home Invasion
Isn't the plan of automation to let humans free at any cost? Like it happened with computers and relief from bureaucracy. First printers costed 20k, still there are 20k printers but way more powerful, the first series now are in homes under $100. It will take time to get cheap.
simultsop··on What makes you still work for Meta, when it's clear how toxic the company is?
When or who tells the end of it? To what extent. Don't sanitize just where you live. You will need to keep the entire world clean. It's not fair when it is ok just for you.
simultsop··on GPT-5
that was smooth
simultsop··on Nobody knows how to build with AI yet
We are expecting a moment like when sublime was born. Sidebar map, concurrent cursors, blazing speed.

Right now its all monetization at gravity. As if companies are ready to pour software developer salaries in tools.

I imagine beginners will not have gpu rich environments and AI will not reach mainstream as traditional development did, unless something happens, idk what.

Right now, seniors love the complexity and entry barrier to it, so they can occupy the top of the food chain. History has proven that that does not last long.

In some scenarios as airtable, AI is replacing docs and customer support, eleminating the learning curve.

simultsop··on Brut: A New Web Framework for Ruby
Ok, humans have sentimental approach to information, we are not machines as you imply. Similar statement in a launch of a volunteer project is considered attack.
simultsop··on Brut: A New Web Framework for Ruby
You should give some humility lessons...
simultsop··on Brut: A New Web Framework for Ruby
In an era of constant professional extinction threat, author took risk and motivation to build an entire framework for free. And there is you attacking their ego.
simultsop··on Better Auth, by a self-taught Ethiopian dev, raises $5M from Peak XV, YC
You mean that for toying, personal use or hobby projects, right? Otherwise people get jaw drops or facepalms.
simultsop··on Successful people set constraints rather than chasing goals
The definition of success remains personal. Employing certain biases, too. Being successful in World Choice and Gameplay is relative, but it is also proportional to the biases.
simultsop··on Euro execs mull use of US clouds
EU did this long time ago, now they're doing it publicly. It sounded wrong back then, but turns out they were right.
simultsop··on The Myth of Developer Obsolescence
> code is not an asset—it's a liability. Every line must be maintained, debugged, secured, and eventually replaced. The real asset is the business capability that code enables.

a must-have principle throughout the entire software engineering career.

simultsop··on The UI future is colourful and dimensional
Back then, all sorts of designs made the web a marvel. Until algorithms kicked in. We stripped the design in favor of machine-understandable information composition. So our thing would be most recommended by AD-pumped services/listings/directories. At the end, outreach mattered more than an elegant product. Unfortunately still does.
simultsop··on BuyMeACoffee silently dropped support for many countries (2024)
All people wanted was to give someone a coffee, not a fortune.
