Tailwind is not what you're describing.

Sateeshm··on Breaking the spell of vibe coding
It's hilarious. The whole point of "vibe coding" is that you don't need to learn or know anything.

It's like saying if you don't learn to use a smartphone you'll be left behind. Even babies can use it now.

Sateeshm··on Claude Opus 4.6
This. It was always about trying to solve the business problem. Writing code was just implementation detail.

Sateeshm··on Unrolling the Codex agent loop
It's about not polluting the context. AI doesn't need information about things that didn't work in the new requests' context.
Sateeshm··on Claude Code's new hidden feature: Swarms
Exactly my experience too.

I also heard "I see the issue now" so many times because it missed or misunderstood something very simple.

Same in chrome on Android. They work if I switch to Base UI tab and back.

>Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true.

>That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.

Why would this be disturbing for SWEs? Writing syntax was never the end goal. It was just a core we couldn't without. It was always about the intent of the code.

I attribute that to the holidays. Many people finally had the time to goof around with these tools. At least that's how it happened to me.

It was an incredible experience. I implemented a few features quickly and in a much better way than I could otherwise. Realized how many tiny holes my app had and a few suboptimal patterns I was using. Made me worry about my career, initially, but after using for a while, I now see it as going up the chain of abstraction. Only thing I'm not doing is writing code by hand. Im still having to do everything else like thinking about architecture and the big picture, keeping it dry and maintainable, debugging, etc - but with a lot of help from LLMs. Sometimes it's 10x and sometimes you wasted sometime, you know, just like how using packages made us go up the chain.

Sateeshm··on Don't fall into the anti-AI hype
AI is basically Leonard from Memento. Very capable. Knows how the world works broadly. Can't make new memories. Need context (tattoos, notes, and polaroids). Misunderstandings things.
Sateeshm··on Stranger Things creator says turn off “garbage” settings
Yes! A lot people can't tell the difference. It's just sad. Tells you how engaged people are with what they they watch.
Sateeshm··on Stranger Things creator says turn off “garbage” settings
Drives me insane when people say they can't tell the difference while watching with motion smoothing on. I feel for the filmmakers.
Sateeshm··on Turtletoy
LOGO was my first interaction with a computer back in 1996. We had to write one program in LOGO in our computer class and we were allowed to play one of the following three games for rest of the period: Dangerous Dave, Paratrooper, or Prince of Persia.

I used Eruda before. Is it similar?

Looks great BTW. Installed.

Sateeshm··on Show HN: What Is Hacker News Working On?
Really well done. I'm sure it must have been a joy to use Sveltekit.
Sateeshm··on Show HN: MyTimers.app offline-first PWA with no build step and zero dependencies
Good one.

Few years ago, I built a throw-away offline-first and minimalist time tracking app similar to this.

It's a miracle that the internet and computers work with each other as well as they do.

And the decade timeframe is mostly based on his intuition and previous experience with such leaps.

Sateeshm··on AI adoption linked to 13% decline in jobs for young U.S. workers: study
As a graphic designer, no, AI is not even close to making the profession obsolete. Unless you are talking about the folks who create social media cards and stuff, even that is a stretch.

Sateeshm··on Vibe coding tips and tricks
It has to be a strict definition because that is the main point of vibe coding, it is for people who don't know how to program.
