You should totally submit that to HN as an article, if you haven't already.

There was a really great article or blog post published in the last few months about the author's very personal experience whose gist was "People complain that I sound/write like an LLM, but it's actually the inverse because I grew up in X where people are taught formal English to sound educated/western, and those areas are now heavily used for LLM training."

I wish I could find it again, if someone else knows the link please post it!

I think that the messaging around this is going to be pretty important in heading off gut-reaction "it's all or nothing locked in to their world" first takes. It's probably attractive marketing for things to be aimed at "look how easy it easy to use our entire ecosystem", but there's a risk to that too.

An interesting thought experiment would be a language/toolchain that would be permissive when generating debug builds, but hard-required warn-free to generate an optimized executable.

> Sounds like deleting a VM in Azure is as tedious as trying to manage resources in a complex role-playing game—one wrong step, and you’re stuck dealing with frustrating dependencies! If you’re tired of that kind of hassle, maybe it’s time to switch things up with Download SpinRP. Instead of deleting VMs in the right order, you can dive into an immersive world where strategy and excitement go hand in hand. Why deal with a “big fat pink error” when you could be making big moves in SpinRP instead?

I've worked on maintaining internal dev tooling for some small companies for a while now, and it's a real PITA to write a robust installation script for bootstrapping a new laptop running an arbitrary shell on linux or macOS into a working environment. Way more work than it feels like it should be.

At this point I've pretty much given in and decided that a containerized dev environment is probably the better solution, but on principle it feels so unsatisfying to have to resort to this :(

(I know someone is going to mention Nix/Guix ;) but that feels like a giant rabbit hole)

I worked at Seagate in the early 2010s, and they made pretty intensive use of Lotus Notes across the company—-it was pretty dang cool to see how sophisticated/useful the internal applications were that non-“developers” created!

What if you have a microservice system with a repo-per-service setup, where to add functionality to a FE site you would have to edit code in three or four specific repos (FE site repo + backend service repo + API-client npm package repo + API gateway repo) out of hundreds of total repos?
