I empathize with many of the complaints, but some are a bit ridiculous. Using custom fonts in software UI is completely reasonable and normal, even if you don't like it.

> OpenAI released one once

You forgot the GPT-2 that came long before that. OpenAI was the lab that releases open models.

None of this is factually correct, that is it. I don't think this is debatable. I don't love OpenAI, but OpenAI made huge contributions to the field, and one should give credit where credit is due.

I have great trouble understanding why someone would waste time defending it.

One is real cash going into the hands of ordinary people for everyday purchases, which has proven (in various studies) to have helped parents/families and the financially struggled.

The other is "knowledge and skills" that seem remote and detached from people's lives.

As someone whose life isn't affected much by either of these, I would choose the stimulus every time.

*8 months

That doesn't make parent's claim true or even relevant.

And OpenAI could release an open model tomorrow. Nobody knows.

Source? Interested in learning more about this

Once upon a time I would be happy to put custom ROMs on my phone and do all these patches.

These days I just care so much about "things should just work" that I cannot justify doing this. I cannot think about how I could spend time figuring out what to do when the repo is no longer maintained or something breaks for random reasons.

You probably want to double check the comment I was responding to.

"so you can be sure"

Nothing is for sure with LLMs.

You could also ask why Android care about banning side loading to "prevent scams and spyware", and I honestly don't have an answer at all.

Are they actual career growth plans or just internal milestones for you to chase after, including promotions towards the next "level"?

A real career advice should sound like "You are too good for this company. Find you future opportunities and growth elsewhere."

I recently went through an internal transfer at my company, moving to a very distant organization.

My manager and my skip manager tried to persuade me out of the idea, saying they "want to make sure this is the correct decision".

I politely acknowledged their concerns and declined. (It's not like they were offering anything for me to stay.) I really wanted to say, "If it's a bad decision, it's my decision. You guys couldn't care less about my career growth, otherwise you'd have promoted me or given me bigger scope. You just care about shipping products and staff retention."

Gemini CLI is notorious for being verbose (or was, I haven't used it for a while), and many people don't want to use Gemini for that reason alone.

So the market kind of works in this instance.

There have been massive GitHub issue spams recently, including in Microsoft's WSL repository.

You can, but the quality sucks.

Local LLMs don't make sense for most people compared to "cloud" services, even more so for coding.

Have you spent more than 10 min actually running LLM on a local machine?

As it stands today, local LLMs don't work remotely as well as some people try to picture them, in almost every way -- speed, performance, cost, usability etc. The only upside is privacy.

Which is why you should use official MCP servers, and plenty of products do offer an official MCP server.

Wow, this subreddit looks like the apocalypse of vibe coded projects/apps. Kind of similar to what happened to "show HN". Too many ideas, not enough problems to solve, and likely bad implementations. The result is that nobody uses any of the apps.

In AI conversations, people often forget that at the end of a day, an actual human needs to use your stuff.

It took me about 10 min to learn the keybindings. It does take longer to get familiar and efficient with them, but I wasn't a Vim master to begin with. (I can navigate efficiently and am proficient with a few combinations that I use the most, but that's about it.)

> "can't do things since there are no plugins yet"

Depending on what I am doing, I will probably go back to VSCode to get things done. Terminal editors are nice, but VSCode's extension ecosystem and usability is unmatched. I speak of that as someone who has spent hundreds of hours developing VSCode extensions. For me, "can't do things" is not (necessarily) a reason to set up Neovim plugins. It means I should figure out 1) if that's something I need to do regularly 2) If so, what's the best way to get it done.

(I am very well aware of what you can do with vim/Neovim plugins, just like zsh and tmux etc. Not spending time hand writing my config or setting up my plugins is an intentional choice. I like to start with a commonly used setup, discover pain points and bottlenecks, and then optimize or find some other solutions.)

If you have done some repairs, you would know that is nothing. And you would rather have screws than glue or plastic clips, the more the better.

I think anyone using a "Team" or enterprise plan of ChatGPT/Claude/Copilot doesn't have their data used for training, that's the same across the board.

Not a choice if you need a specific new feature or a certain fix.

The entire software development world would be much simpler if nobody needs new features, bugs and CVEs don't exist, or "just pin the version" works.

That project is half dead now. There are commits, but has been no release in half a year, is missing major features (e.g. MCP server), and I haven't seen people talking about it for quite a while.

Which is why I just went with Helix and learned their keybindings. I have much more important things to do than figuring out why a plugin stopped working.

Curated? More like hallucinated.

My impression is that the first item on the website should be the site itself.

Barely anything on the site makes sense if you look at them closely.

We call that "slop", the last time I checked.

The first link claims the 6-hour outage wiped 99% of order volume. I went to the "source" and found an (AI generated?) ad by a company that wants to sell a product, where I cannot find the 99% number.

This whole website and everything around it are almost ironic.

Reclaiming memory is not free.

It's better not to use 2.4G RAM in the first place. Imagine LinkedIn isn't so hostile to users and instead actually cares about user experience.

> The version is the minimum version your project can be compiled with.

Sure. But guess what, virtually nobody is going to find out what that "minimum version" is, and your blog post is not going to change that.

Just install the latest toolchain.

I mean, they have been doing that for at least a year, and I haven't seen signs of US economy tanking?... You need to find some better arguments
