.NET is really good nowadays & does well cross platform, absolutely worth trying.

I'll pay attention when a reliable and trustworthy institution decides to claim this

so you're saying this is a real product and the ad you saw(then purchased from) was a fake?

Didn't the Anthropic CEO claim we would be replaced by this AI tech by now? Here's Anthropic moving their own goal post in real time:

Heres $20b in VC funding. Congrats!

OpenClaw seems good at exposing sensitive data. How do you even know anything on that site was generated by an agent? The entire api was out in the open without any sort of validation.

Seriously...I would pay for web browsing, reddit, HackerNews, etc. to exclude all AI stuff. Thats more money than ive spent on AI products.

yup...so sad. And we seem to be the 'unpopular opinion' these days..

Oban is incredible and this type of software will continue to grow in importance. Kudos!

Excellent point. Never thought of transactions in this way.

We don't really do the whole calling people stupid or flaming around here. You can make your point and leave it at that or don't comment. This sort of behavior will get you banned by the very active mod team in the future. You can refresh yourself on the guidelines of the site: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Here's a section just for you: "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names."

Ive heard from others that this is how defense software engineering goes.

You write code for a certain part/spec that could go on a number of things (missle, airplane, etc). You dont know if your code will be used in a missile or not.

Honestly, it was fun ride HN but the never ending AI blog spam & advertising is 'gumming the works'.

The writing is on the wall that AI will continue to dominate discussion on here for the forseeable future (yawn...)

Its time for me to move to a space where the AI bros are not, wherever that may be. I hope to see some of you there!

believe me if it was up to me I would get off framework this week hahaha

all these kids chasing the new frameworks...jQuery and .NET framework have always kept me fed!

jumped on the same train, still using astro in production but on the side im using Elixir to create an SSG to use moving forward for anything new.

I just can't see it happening. The United States benefits from decades of compounding advantages compared to the EU: elite research universities, talent pipelines, mature capital markets, and tons of integrated industries (fintech).

This is obvious in the recent AI race. EU-headquartered companies remain rare compared to their US/Chinese counterparts.

Excellent point. With that being said, I think there is market potential for replit, specifically in the middle ground between 'not knowing any code' and 'full on developer using an IDE/Cursor'.

Nothing like AI-generated garbage software that is dedicated to highlighting other AI-generated garbage. What are yall even doing anymore? lol

I can actually comment on this a bit as I ran an eBay business during college selling second-hand clothes. A lot of it is about volume and brand. For example, women made up a majority of our sales even if it was men's clothing. Certain brands like Nike, Polo sold better & having hundreds of items up vs. just one and having 5 stars. All of that combined allowed us to sell items daily.

Great point! I know some pretty advanced statistical analysis is used in my friend's case to detect anomalies in ordering, shipping, etc.

I have a friend who works for Nordstorm doing this kind of work. She claimed the bigger problem financially is employees in retail, i.e. stealing clothes in large scale to be sold on eBay.

Good write up, thanks for taking the time to go into detail. I may try to implement your feedback at some point.

Thank you! I think it goes against Microsoft's C# conventions a bit (i.e. the classes should be separated out more) but I prefer this setup.

I highly recommend trying C# on Linux, it works fantastic. Rider on Linux works amazing as well so hats off to Jetbrains.

Admittedly I don't know a lot about networking or IRC clients, but in practice I believe so. The idea was to implement the simplest possible way for 2 people to communicate via TCP.

I used Rider's auto-complete for a lot of the code but it is handwritten.

You can do that if you want. Ill refuse. Ill take a manual labor job doing basically anything else for 40 hours a week over what your describing.

I just launched the beta of my app that uses Elixir/Phoenix. Its a community driven aggregation of technology resources for Michigan, like companies in Michigan that hire tech talent, university programs, incubators in Michigan, etc. It also includes a newsletter thats already fully live and has over 10 subscribers. I'm gathering starting data and feedback now!
