Maybe tell that to the hostile guy calling me an asshole because I made a comment?

What are the odds you would have this response if the thread was about something else and I said it was anti-Semitic? We both know you wouldn't care.

Make an effort to think about that in future.

Windsurf is terrible, I always use AI just in a normal website and I tried this product a few days ago and it asks me if it can run a command to make a file, which I find extremely strange, then it fails to write valid commands even to do mkdir.

Wow what a blast from the past. I used this library many years back when I think it was called Baidu E-Charts. Was a great library back then too. I'm amazed how good its gotten now.

I cant with this man. How did you not realize that my offhand comment on a web board doesn't call for the same level of politeness as the front page of a platform for professionals.

And to characterize it as "wanted to showcase their web design skills". Its a startup.

I don't feel like I'm a smart guy but damn are you stupid.

I hate it. That is my first impression and I'm sticking to it. Ugly, soul-less, modern design typified by giant typography, dark mode, huge blank spaces, and an annoying video of the person shilling themself. I hate the name as well. "Hey" is not a polite greeting. It hope this fails tremendously. What a waste of time.

No, they complain about it because they care about web development... That should be obvious.

Dont have any recommendations, I don't watch or read anyone. Think of it in two parts. You have the coding skill: knowledge of syntax, technical details, inputs, outputs, some math and logic, the infamous 'DSA' that millions of Indian people with no talent can solve. <- People pedestalize this.

Then you have the project manager / architect skill of shaping things and having an understanding of the tech stack - but does not need to be a great coder. Maybe they were in the past, but they're not grinding silly LeetCode questions and cannot solve them, and are smart enough to see that as the hamster wheel surrogate goal that it is.

I think we need less of the former, much less. I don't see it as a bad thing. I myself have severe carpal tunnel, RSI, and back problems, from sitting at a computer.

Almost all of the students that jumped into programming courses did so for money. They have no passion (less than me by far) for coding. Its a lie perpetuated by toxic positivity and invested groups that coding is some magical, super cool, super smart activity.

Its very overdue at this point. DeepSeek R1 and V3 are competing with o1, open source and local hostable. NVidia is coming out with small AI GPUs for consumers.

The winners of this AI age is everyone. EXCEPT 'coders'. Many getting 6 figures to maintain a CRUD app. I don't feel sorry for them! Cooking up garbage apps in PHP - I cannot wait for it to be overturned by energy efficient AI made apps in Rust.

Coding will become AI dominated at many levels. A lot of people on here don't want to hear that because they have an ego about their exclusive coding skills. Your compensation will decrease. You may be fired. The coding ability of the average 'senior' developer is not impressive, and the title will not protect you.

That isn't what I said, if you can't read a sentence that's not my problem. And don't "simply not the case" without providing any source. What a terrible remark.

I'm not going to waste my time educating you on this because I can tell from the way you jumped immediately to the incel label that you're just going to deny deflect and diffuse.

It won't. Conservatively over 60% of young men are single. The real number if you remove men that have had maybe one relationship or encounter in a multi-year span is 80% or more. The lie you will hear is that men are choosing OnlyFans over a relationship. There is no choice. They can't get a relationship.

WordPress is infamous for its terrible codebase. Everything is jammed into a single wp_posts table including revisions. The frontend code is just as bad. I'm sure they blame the need for backwards compatibility. The entire thing should be retired.

Really? Come on. You think trying to make it solve "niche and complicated issues" for a Brainfuck compiler is reasonable? I can't take this seriously. Do you know what most developer jobs entail?

I never need to type paragraphs to get the output I want. I don't even bother with correct grammar or spelling. If I need code for x crud web app who is going to type it faster, me or the LLM? This is really not hard to understand.

Yes, you have figured it out. LLMs are terrible for graphics programming. Web development - much better. Sonnet 3.5 is the only good model around for now. GPT 4o is very poor.

New comment by remoroid in "Ask HN: Why are people paying so much for Vercel?"

remoroid — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 09:00:35 +0000

Vercel has hired many key figures in the Javascript space such as Rich Harris and pays talking head Dev YouTubers willing to accept undisclosed sponsorships. That's why you'll see NextJS videos routinely get millions of views, and channels that solely shill NextJS.

I just tried to make an account

1. Asks me to enter my phone number and sends me a code

2. Enter code

3. Asks me to enter email and get code

4. Enter code

5. Redirects to asking me to enter phone number, but my number is already used now

6. My account is automatically banned

That is impossible to believe. Teens AND children only add up to 12%. No lol. The average age of league of legends pro is 22. None of them starting playing the game after 18. It makes no sense.

Then I already pointed out that the rank SBF was in is populated with the worst players, which is more likely to be children that dont have a fully developed brain.
