zuck_vs_muskon Ask HN: What programming blogs do you follow?

I have contributed several posts to https://medium.com/@Pinterest_Engineering

Of course, I am biased but I do believe we have one of the best engineering blogs out there.

zuck_vs_muskon Expanding on what we missed with sycophancy

Weird that even OpenAI does not have good control over its model.

zuck_vs_muskon Solidjs: Simple and performant reactivity for building user interfaces

> As someone that likes Vue and prefers templates that lost me at JSX.

Thank you very much. I once said, "I cannot stand JSX", and two front-end engineers went silent for the rest of the meeting.

zuck_vs_muskon Solidjs: Simple and performant reactivity for building user interfaces

Has anyone used both Solid and Vue? How do the two compare?

zuck_vs_muskon Serverless Is a Scam

Seems like a pitch for sliplane to me.

zuck_vs_muskon Huly – Open-source project management platform

I see 'Node.js' and I see something that's going to be unwieldy pretty soon.

zuck_vs_muskon Go Browser Package

This is useful.

If you have a website, you want to collect statistical data on which browsers are accessing your website and test for the best experiences on the top browsers.

zuck_vs_muskon HBase Deprecation at Pinterest

They switched to an SQL database. NoSQL

zuck_vs_muskon Did GitHub Copilot increase my productivity?

Author of the original article here. Good to see it being posted here.

zuck_vs_muskon GitHub is down

> Why would Ruby play a role in it? Azure definitely does though. (ex azure employee here )

Oh yeah. If someone says C++ has poor memory safety than Rust then no one is triggered. But say something about Ruby (the language on a secular decline - https://www.dice.com/binaries/content/gallery/dice/insights/...) and the pitchforks are out.

zuck_vs_muskon GitHub is down

This happens fairly regularly. Do HNers think that Microsoft azure and/or Ruby has a role in it?

zuck_vs_muskon Abstractions should be deep not wide

Author of the original article here.

If you have some customers that rely on GitHub-specific features and some others that rely on GitLab-specific features then you will have to support both set of APIs.

zuck_vs_muskon Inversion: Fast, Reliable Structured LLMs

Please elaborate

zuck_vs_muskon Show HN: jnv: interactive JSON filter using jq

Rust guys - look this beautiful performant CLI tool that will make you more productive

JS guys - look at my new JS framework that you can use to do 15th rewrite of your website

I wonder how come communities evolve in this way.

> strong guarantees on the output (i.e. 100% reliable, without requiring any retries).

Has anyone seen a good JSON library that can handle slightly broken JSON? e.g. trailing commas, unescaped newlines, etc.? I have not found a good one.

zuck_vs_muskon Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python

What if you are on Python 3.10 and the Python code was built using Python 3.11 features? I don't think `pipx` would work in that case.

zuck_vs_muskon Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python

pip will install dependencies transitively. Some of those dependencies or some version of those might be uninstallable on certain platforms and you won't even know!

Further, if I am building using Python 3.11 features and you are stuck on Python 3.10 then you cannot install my Python CLI tool.
