New comment by pech0rin in "Coding agents have replaced every framework I used"

Strange how many people are comparing code to art. Software engineering has never been about the code written, it’s about solving problems with software. With AI we can solve more problems with software. I have been writing code for 25 years, I love using AI. It allows me to get to the point faster.

The author is right, eliminating all this framework cruft will be a boon for building great software. I was a skeptic but it seems obvious now its largely going to be an improvement.

I ran linux for 15 years on a range of different machines. Desktop the most successfully. For laptops I tried everything but once I switched to a mac I’ve never gone back. The hardware is at least twice as good as any other laptop.

I’ve seen framework getting a lot of mind share recently. Especially with DHH singing their praises. I have come to loathe apple software over the years but can’t get over terrible build quality.

I thought framework was supposed to be the premium linux option but after reading this it looks same quality as all those windows turned linux machines.

Rewriting in Rust is paying dividends.

8 months of a huge bull market. Not exactly indicative of any real insight.

Depressing how many comments are supporting this practice. The point is tests are supposed to be hard and fair. Everyone gets the same amount of time, same preparation for a presentation. Then you are judged based on your ability, preparation and skill. Pressure leads to growth, competition to effort. I hate this new world where we bend over backwards to make everything “fair”.

Look Bun is a great product but something hilarious about the company that is “going to replace all software developers with AI” BUYING software. You are building a product that is supposed to make software cost 0 right? Why wouldn’t you just “vibe” code yourself Bun?

I guess I’m so old that I remember time without autocomplete. Where programmers just knew what functions existed and how to use them. Usually by looking them up in a manual and then -gasp- remembering them. Languages shouldn’t be optimized for laziness or not using your brain.

“Shut up old man” yes yes okay.

I'm sick and tired of all these AI generated comments. Oh you got the AI to use lower case! Wow it still writes the exact same way.

this is cool but acting like this is some insane usage is funniest part for me. emacs and 100 other tools can do this easily and have been doing it for 30 years

Fake reviews and fake pictures makes me never want to use your app.

Also the Americans don’t work barefoot

This is the most childish thing I’ve read. And shows a lot about he doesn’t have any people relying on him or community to support. He takes one hike and throws away 60m. Doesn’t try to find anything interesting to do at Atlassian just calls his coworkers NPCs. This is zero-empathy Peter Pan syndrome at its worse.

Sad how he just goes adventure hopping to try and find meaning. The problem is no matter where you are you are also there. Time to look inward and not outward.

why is this site allowed to be posted? most of his stories are completely fabricated with no evidence. he doesn’t even live in Japan but just cosplays as being a resident here. so frustrating seeing his content taken seriously anywhere online.

this is like the study about water making you hydrated. quite possibly the most obvious outcome of all time.

New comment by pech0rin in "Rewrite It in Rails"

pech0rin — Sat, 02 Nov 2024 08:08:22 +0000

Rails (and possibly Django and Laravel) are just light-years ahead of any other stack for building web apps. They have dealt with all the tedium, know all the requirements, and actually get out of your face when building an application. I have been developing web apps for 15 years now.

I have tried Meteor (back in the day), Remix, Nextjs, Node w/ Express, etc. Always talking about how much better they are. But in my mind web dev is a solved problem. The js stuff is mainly just developers wanking off, driven by a bunch of dollars from big companies.

Systems stuff, deployment infra, etc. is great for stuff like Rust & Go, but shoehorning into web dev makes no sense. I would love to just move on from this debate but it seems thats going to never be possible.

Cant stand the infantilization of software tools. People can choose for themselves what features to use or not use. Doesnt need to be determined by our keepers. Also do Python maintainers just hate backwards compat as some sort of religion?

As an aside its really interesting how the human brain can so easily read an AI essay and realize its AI. You would think that with the vast corpus these models were trained on there would be a more human sounding voice.

Maybe it's overfitting or maybe just the way models work under the hood but any time I see AI written stuff on twitter, reddit, linkedin its so obvious its almost disgusting.

I guess its just the brain being good at pattern matching, but it's crazy how fast we have adapted to recognize this.

Looks interesting. Definitely nailing the old myspace aesthetic. I’d be more curious about active users versus registered users. Social networks are usually defined by activity. Unfortunately registered users probably contains a lot of bots and spammers.

Its in the first few paragraph, did you even read it? Also sort of obviously its a farm that sells pizza.

Author makes good points but suffers from “i am genius and you are an idiot” syndrome which makes it seem mostly the ranting of an asshole vs a coherent article about the state of AI.
