So when Charlie Marsh goes on a podcast saying that the majority the complications they face with their work is in DevOps, he's also overstating things?
But you know best it seems!

But you know best it seems!
"What's the matter, just fork it when it goes bad?"
The problem is that uv in and of itself, whilst a great technical achievement isn't sufficient. Astral run a massive DevOps pipeline that, just to give one example, packages the python distributions.
Those who are saying that forking is an option are clearly not arguing it in good faith.
I think it’s time to pony up.
Where are your vibe coded databases that take on SQLite and Postgres?
Where are your vibe coded Operating Systems?
Where are your vibe coded browsers?
Where are your vibe coded literally anything?
I’ve read and listened to enough of Linus to know he says this himself. The Linux kernel is nothing without the maintainers, this is easily observable and everyone knows it.
You see the reason you shouldn’t go into detective work is because you’d be terrible at it, not because it’s non-trivial.
What on earth are you talking about? Don’t quit your day job to become a detective.
I’m not being rude, what does it mean to unexpectedly carry cookies? That’s not what I understand the risk of CSRF is.
My understanding is that we want to ensure a POST came from our website and we do so with a double signed HMAC token that is present in the form AND the cookie, which is also tied to the session.
What on earth is unexpectedly carrying cookies?
SameSite or not is inconsequential to the check a backend does for a CSRF token in the POST.
Others have pointed out your interpretation of long task is not the same as the article.
Maybe this is the negative effects of excessive LLM usage that are spoken about.
Everyone working in programming is writing code for a project more like Postgres or Linux than they are a project like making a wood cabinet or a life drawing.
It’s insane this has to be pointed out to you but here we go.
Hammers are the best, they can drive nails, break down walls and serve as a weapon. From now on the military will, plumber to paratrooper, use nothing but hammers because their combined experience of using hammers will enable us to make better hammers for them to do their tasks with.
The commenter you’re replying to, in their heart of hearts, truly believes in 5 years that an LLM will be writing the majority of the code for a project like say Postgres or Linux.
Worth bearing in mind the boosters said this 5 years ago, and will say this in 5 years time.
I recall the ML phase we had before the “AI” phase and I do not remember anyone disputing that complex mathematical models can shift the economy, make or break jobs, the whole shebang.
What really irks me about comments like “AI will/won’t xyz” is the muddying of the waters by the word AI. It’s utterly meaningless but because it means nothing it has so much power. For example:
“Statistical models will take over middle class jobs”
Vs
“AI will take over middle class jobs”
In my mind, these two statements are equivalent in what they are actually saying but the latter closes off any reasonable discussion and lets the looney bin users on here (of which there are many) start with their basilisk song and dance and all the absolutely insane hot takes that come with it.
This is the absolute opposite to using an LLM. Please stop using this comparison and perhaps look for others, like for example, a randomised search engine.
*Edit fixed typo.
Their tone was disgraceful, let me explain by giving you an example of how posts should be made.
“Hey! This looks interesting, quick search on Google didn’t explain what the BEAM is as well as I would like, can someone let me know what this is about in layman’s terms?”
This is inviting people to talk about the topic at hand. It puts the responsibility of knowing something squarely on the person who wants that information and it’s generally pleasant.
How the parent decided to phrase his desire for being spoon fed information was in fact disgraceful.
The tone in which people like the parent comment is disgraceful. I’m sorry this is hacker news and hackers know that BEAM is the Erlang VM, no introduction or explanation needed. It is respected and admired as a great piece of engineering to be studied by all hackers.
It doesn't put me off the project! I will happily pay for great software that enables me to make money just like I'd pay for good tools around the house (once I get started with D*).
I was just pointing out that in my mind the criticism is totally fair game because many OSS do not do this, that is all. By the looks of it you agree.
I think I want to just mention something here that is really important. The Datastar team have done more to push for performance, better UX and the ways of thinking around SPAs and MPAs than multi billion dollar companies have done in the last couple of years. Not forgetting HTMX, this cooperation has been incredibly fruitful and I am very excited about the future with you guys.
