Is this just any Jetbrains IDE file history?

It’s definitely interesting watching the OSS and commercial world swing in seemingly opposite directions on this. It would be nice to see some companies sharing more balanced successful practices they’ve implemented with AI

Genuinely, have these guys done anything other than AI generated ship pictures? The top down ones look like they didn’t even use a good model.

I’d be stunned if anyone takes this seriously

People I know who Range Rover their way through life are openly considering BYD… it’s a fascinating and slow but steady market takeover

Not to mention accessibility, which as usual benefits everyone with features such as text search, so I guess we‘ll keep looking for an answer.

Typewriters?

Not that I’ve ever partaken in any US startup, but $30/m? If the employees are earning average YC salary that seems like a drop in the ocean, even with 5-6 subscriptions

except for perhaps… a scalable pg bouncer? And good nuclear reactors [1]?

Not to say I support many Russian political moves, but I think discrediting an entire people and their outputs on Russian politics is brusque - particularly open source ones.

I would so love to visit, but I read an increase in tensions a few years ago caused a tourism stoppage

I was fascinated to learn while visiting they consider themselves ‘at war’ and generations from a unified time still strongly believe in the cause.

In tech specifically this leads to some surprising results such as transit planning being very ineffective or broken in google maps due to onshore data storage requirements. Subway alignments are regarded as sensitive info

Why would you not base your first impressions of a product on the way it chooses to describe itself? It’s not feasible to install everything you lay eyes on for evaluation, and reviews often assume you already assume the product is a good fit and want to evaluate quality/validity of that assumption

The top comment on the thread explains this will involve subagent to subagent comms.

To what effect I don’t know… I thought subagents were useful because they were explicitly single purpose and bound to a narrow context

Being overly suspicious of everyone is a terrible way to live. Maintenance should have the autonomy to do as they did here - and security correctly followed up. The right response should only be technical imo. A meeting room should not lead to this level of network access.

I’ve found if you want interop ts esm and js cjs you need to compile your code - and then `tsc` doesn’t bundle your dependencies for you and outputs incomplete code.
