When something in SQL becomes cumbersome or difficult to work with, people often tend to create entirely new solutions rather than improving the existing ones. Few developers seem interested in refining SQL itself.

If I remember correctly Mendix project file format is simply a sqlite db. I thought the designer was lazy but it turns out it's a reasonable decision.

Recently, DuckDB team raise similar question on DataLake catalog format. Why not just use SQL database for that ? It's simpler and more efficient as well.

Everyone sees AI as this huge, game-changing technology that’s going to reshape every life as we know it, but right now its main money-making uses are pretty much content and code generation. So it’s no surprise that more players are jumping in. With what Gitpod already offers, it totally makes sense for them to go down this route.

Computer is just a fancy calculator after all.

Love this ♡ Thanks for building it.

When I was young, I was fascinated by the paper "Language-Oriented Programming: The Next Programming Paradigm"[1] and was eager to see how the future would unfold. Decades later, I finally decided that perhaps just using Python—and making a good living—is fine by me.

Avoid being argumentative can save energy, literally.

You are doing it right for having periodic check. Why you would want to know what common failure modes are then ?

This is very obvious. Synchronization based on sequential change log is brittle by nature.

Yes. Emacs with AI coding will be a dream come true to me.

I won't be able to have enough sleep then.

Actually, WASM will enable many languages better for web scripting than Javascript.

Finding things in Google Drive is an awful experience as well.

Just watched Veritasium's "How One Company Secretly Poisoned The Planet"

Inventions created for convenience decades ago have now become health concerns. I wonder how AI might affect our intellectual well-being in the decades to come.

Python, Kotlin

The web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.

The coolest tagline ever.

A lot of comments express concern about their favorite framework losing independency. I always worry about Angular being made independent. lol

Actually, this is the way human brain work. It's what we now know as system-1 (automatic, unconscious) and system-2 (effortful, conscious) described in Thinking Fast and Slow book.

I really don't expect anybody can contribute anything more to this topic. Too many people spent their brain cycles on this already. Just roll the dice and pick any existing one. It cannot be significantly worse or better.

The term 'enshittification' sounds negative for what an organization needs to do to take care of employees.

Asking LLMs is the best way to learn these days.

Interesting perspective. Wonder why so many SaaS service currently enforce this.

Password similarity rule was not enforced ?

I find that GenAI is really good at explaining programming languages features.

For internal session cookie, do we actually need the cookie banner at all ?

1. help you get faster at something you already know how to do

2. and help you learn how to do something!

This is the second time I heard this conclusion today. Using inference to do 2. and then getting superpower in doing 1., this is probably the right way to go forward.

They could cache that :)

Perhaps, use more affordable hardware instead, and reserve resources for those who are less fortunate.

Plus your battery will thank you for this.

The Liquid Glass terrified me as someone started in green monochrome CRT days. Software people really have endless creative ways to spend hardware resource quota.

Perhaps human should be less obsessed in twisting nature to serve our comfort, and just adapt ourselves more to what nature provides.

The clarity was not available before the flashy new website and video for SDK are disclosed. Everything was kept in secret from the community for half a year.

No you didn't rebrand RedwoodJS. You just silently abandoned it. The doc is not even be revised for the proclaimed new name. Paying for vendor to be locked-in into well-funded platform should not be considered as a bad choice after all.
