I strongly disagree. Paying the ransom will put everyone in danger.

The price was also an immediate turn-off for me, and I really don't like he's advertising it. It feels like a product that is marked up crazy amounts, greenwashed with "profits get donated" (profits AFTER the people involved get their salaries, obviously).

It feels like his channel suddenly changed to go into "let's make some money", carefully packaged in a "non-profit / charity" deal.

Maybe I'm just overly pessimistic.

Why does it take 60 seconds to load data from RAM to VRAM? Shouldn't the PCIE bandwidth allow it to fully load it in a few seconds?

My Samsung refrigerator runs still great after 12 years.

"Broken"? It kept things cold.

NodeJS with its commonjs vs modules, it's a huge mess IMO. Add typescript and build systems for bonus clusterf*cks.

It isn't hard to make something a bit scalable, but it is very hard to make it scalable _later_.

It is already wiser than many people (:

That's unreal, I have never seen GPT-5 confused this hard

That's neat, tnx for pointing it out

Must suck to be a lower-ranking man lol

He gets older so everything must get bigger

Why do we measure devices at their thinnest part rather than at their thickest part

Yes 100%

Give them a copy of Robert C Martin’s Clean Code hah

AI also loves to explain what code does with stuff like this:

    // Check if sensor is available
    if (sensor.isAvailable()) {
      // Read current angle
      double angle = sensor.readAngle();

Which, to me, is a clear indicator of the author (being AI, I hope) not caring about code readability.

I am in my 30s and still think my school years age 12-16, was easily the worst time of my life.

One big frustrating, stressful, unfair experience.

> Wasn't that what they fixed using Proxy (making ES6 finally a hard requirement for anything at all)?

Maybe, but I haven't touched Vue in a long time.

For sure. I still have some projects that use what I like to call "jQueryScript", where there's just a bunch of unprocessed (or only minified) JS files with `$("#foo").click(function() { ... })` stuff everywhere. Looking back, it wasn't all that bad.

I just wish there was a pattern that is simple, works with plain, modern JS without any big dependencies (I don't want 600 node modules installing a frontend framework, please) and is easily modular and integrates nicely with other stuff (so likely either manipulating DOM nodes directly or using WebComponents)

Out of protest, I have some smaller projects that have their GUI templates stored in `<template>` tags and manipulated with plain Javascript. Anyone that opens the code will see it and think "wtf?" and then be like "oh... uh sure". The largest one I had written was 1000s of lines of code like that, kinda like a classical MVC pattern where a view (class manipulating DOM nodes) renders a model (a JS object or class). The controller would subscribe to custom events (defined by the view), update the model and call `render()` on the view. It had a lot of small classes, which was a bit too verbose to my liking.

I have prompt docs precisely on SOLID, TDD and all kinds of design patterns… but yes I see a lot of untested code these days.

AI has been incredibly helpful at analyzing existing, unknown to me, projects; basically for debugging and searching in these repo’s.

I don’t think you actually answered the question but I totally don’t mind because it was a fun read.

Old Vue is nice, we still have some Vue apps and they’re just running without major headaches. I do recall some distinct issues with properties introduced on objects after initiating the component not being reactive, but it has mostly been an acceptable experience

Is there a solution? What do you consider the least bad interactive frontend solution?

You’re welcome

Calling OO to increase coupling is a weird take in a world where React's "functional components" and similar patterns encapsulate their state and rendering pipeline.

I feel like these functional GUI renderers are all trying to make JS something it is simply not.

I want to render my view with instances of classes as a model.

I love how some of the examples simply don't work or are partially broken.

I use AI a lot while coding and even I don't get close to 90%.

It's not a matter of "IF" LLM/AI will replace a huge amount of people, but "WHEN". Consider the current amount of somewhat low-skilled administrative jobs - these can be replaced with the LLM/AI's of today. Not completely, but 4 low-skill workers can be replaced with 1 supervisor, controlling the AI agent(s).

I'd guess, within a few years, 5 to 10% of the total working population will be unemployable due to no fault of their own, because they have relevant skill left, and they are incapable of learning anything that cannot be done by AI.
