Read it now. It made my day a bit better :)

Ooof, did not know about this. I held Louis to high regard for his work and this somewhat mars his reputation. I will from now on be cautious about Louis Rosmann, though I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, provided he is more careful in the future. He’s always been a bit of an abrasive character, which is not always bad, but he needs to be held accountable, like everybody else.

This is true. However, the issue is we keep oscillating between AI is useless and over hyped; and it will solve all of life’s problems and you should not call it slop out of respect. The truth is somewhere in between, but we need to fight for it to find it.

Definitely. Or possibly AI will become vastly superior to developers and will require no supervision. In that case, the whole paradigm changes and I don’t know how the software development will look like then. But these are definitely still early days of AI software development, we have a lot to figure out.

The real slowdown comes after when you realize you don’t understand your own codebase because you relied too much on AI. To understand it well enough requires discipline, which in the current IT world is lacking anyway. Either you can rely entirely on AI or you need to monitor its every action, in which case you may be better off writing yourself. But this hybrid approach I don’t think will pan out particularly well.

Wow, great analogy. Might steal this to use myself.

It is a very broad topic, you didn’t specify what kind of a drawing program you’d want to make. If it’s a simple raster drawing, like mspaint used to be, it is not that complicated to make. But complexity quickly adds up - filters, transforms, brushes, layers - it grows in complexity quickly. The easiest GUI in rust I found so far is egui. It provides an immediate mode for drawing graphics that is really simple to grasp very quickly. If it is the best in the long run is questionable, but to get your feet wet - I’d say is perfect

I recently set up a Navidrome/Lidarr setup and I’m beyond thrilled. Works great. I also recommend Symfonium app on android, it’s paid, but it’s worth it for the quality. On desktop, I’m trying out strawberry, but I find it a bit clunky, so I will probably try out other players. Use beet to download and ebmbed lyrics, and my music has never been better. I immediately ditched Spotify and haven’t looked back.

A lot of my development experience is actually about handling people. Both management and other developers. Ego is indeed a big problem. I wish my job would be just programming/designing/debugging/testing, but this is not the nature of most of the jobs. Instead it is managing expectations, estimations, negotiating specs, features, explaining what is realistic, what is not, what is possible and what is not and why. It gets tiring quickly and is also thankless as often arrogant people who aren’t actually helpful or working in the best interest of the company get mistaken for rock stars and get to do even more damage you need to fix. You also need to deal with that from time to time.

Are they any close? Seems like they’ve been doing it for ages and they aren’t close.

Tried it today, didn’t expect much, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the speed and look and feel. I will give it a try for a while to see if I will switch from vscode permanently.

This is great! I’ve only recently discovered jq and was thrilled to have it after bashing my head in bash for a couple of days. I replaced the whole operation with a single line. This tutorial is just what I need. I like that it’s interactive and has neatly grouped examples! Bookmarking it, as I’ll need it very soon again.
