Since I cannot edit my comment, I replied my comment. I did not mean to insult HN moderators. I am actually very happy that they are protecting HN by removing and flagging AI content. I only wanted to attract attention to the topic that for some areas AI is promoted but then for some areas AI is demoted and I do not get it.

What I mean with "we" is that there is a general perception that using AI is okay and mandatory. This idea is becoming more and more prevalent in management positions and it disturbs me deeply.

I got some replies since I commented, but I am still in the same mind. I did not see a strong refutation to my idea. Why are some people (I didn't want to use the word "we" again) are okay with AI use in code but not in prose? I know that they are not exactly same but they have some similarities. If we are unhappy with sloppy prose, why are we happy with sloppy, potentially buggy or hard to maintain code?

I am really amazed at how we are really okay with LLMs writing code end to end (without human in the loop) / dark factory concept but when it comes articles, HN is suddenly against LLMs writing words. I do not see the difference between writing code and writing prose. Both have keywords, grammars, syntax, meaningful combinations (function or chaining in code / collocations in words). If we think that AI-generated words are not meaningful or easy to follow that same must apply to AI-generated code, which may be harder to read or understand since it is not written by human. Let's stop being hypocrites.

Note: My comment is not specific to this comment. I just wanted to express myself at somewhere and this is where I think it may be suitable.

> the general principle of Flutter is a terrible idea.

I think Flutter is a good idea with bad execution. Maybe due to the lack of resources or effort put into it or maybe due to the management, I don't know.

The only thing that is cross-platform right now is the web and it is based on graphics engines (Skia in the case of Chrome). My idea of Flutter is that it is being web (i.e. cross-platform) without being a browser (i.e. overhead of being browser). However, in practice, I couldn't observe a good performance from Flutter when I tried it.

Right now, a lot of apps are developed using Electron (aka Chrome). Flutter is the equivalent of Electron for mobile without the extra layer of having a browser. With the advent of frameworks using WebView (WebGPU is also becoming popular) such as Tauri, we may need less Electron and Flutter.

> Flutter Web in particular is fundamentally flawed and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up if it has any hopes of being viable tech that generates semantic, accessible, and modern web experiences.

I don't know the exact technology of Flutter Web, but I think Flutter Web doesn't makes sense because it is running a renderer (Flutter) inside a renderer (browser).

If you use VSCode as a text editor, you can use it locally on LaTeX files using LTeX extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=valentjn...)

Good luck with listing "problem solver" as a skill in your resume. I don't think anybody will care about it.

As an experiment, one can create two resumes with different identities where the first one is listing Nim as a skill and the other one is listing Java and Spring as skills, and apply to the same jobs. I wonder what the ratio of replies will be.

Isn't org-mode tied to emacs? Also, does it have a specification? I searched for a specification and found this (https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html) and couldn't understand whether it is a proper spec. Without a well-defined spec, it becomes very hard to create tooling around it. For example, Markdown was using Perl scripts initially and didn't have a spec for some time.

Yet, companies use AST tools, which automatically processes the CVs and resumes.

One person that is developing such a tool recommended collage students not to add too much links to their CVs because otherwise, their CV will be flagged as a malicious document.
