A Programmer's Loss of Identity: 🔗ratfactor.com/tech-nope2 “I don't belong anymore. The group I identified with valued learning. For the first time in my life, I'm suddenly wary of meeting other 'computer programmers'. There's a decent chance we won’t have much in common.”

@josevalim I’m looking forward to the actually useful products that rise from the ashes after the pop.

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills

@nicbarkeragain Also, the only way to become someone capable of effectively reviewing code is to have many hours of practice writing it yourself.

"AI will generate all the code, and senior programmers will review it" is basically a mantra at this point. I'm fortunate enough to know a number of top tier programmers personally, and precisely 0% of them want to spend their time reviewing AI generated code (myself included)

@wagslane It's just like google. You don't want someone who needs it, but you don't want someone who won't use it either.

I don't want to hire the person that needs AI to get the job done. I don't want to hire the person that refuses to let AI help them. I want to hire the person that doesn't need the AI, but that uses it to the level it provides them value.

@ChShersh This resonates with me. Lately I’ve noticed myself coming up with project ideas and then instantly thinking about how some person I follow on x might criticize it. Kinda shows what this site can do to your brain.

I’ll be vulnerable here for a second. When I was writing Haskell, I desperately wanted to earn respect and recognition from several experts in the community. A few people are extremely knowledgeable. I felt that being recognised by them means I’m smart and talented. I worked hard. I built projects. I gave talks. I’m proud of things I created. But I never got the recognition I wanted. In fact, some of those so called experts were extremely mean to me during difficult times in my life. Fast forward 10 years. I realised it doesn’t matter what others think about you. Your life and personality are so much more. Other people could never. Recognition by others is the worst goal to have in life. Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is hearing. Write C++ like no one is going to compile it.

One of the hardest things a man can do in life is blocking his role model on X

@TheGingerBill I do actively love the terminal but I’m not sure why. Maybe because I feel more in control and close to what the computer is doing? Maybe because it’s easy to compose commands? This has got me thinking where GUIs can improve.

I understand when you have no choice but to use a terminal, but actively loving it? I have never actually understood that. I swear it's either Stockholm Syndrome or a lack of vision of what anything but terminals can do (I'm being vague on purpose).

@burkov Where does this mentality come from? Code was made by humans to be understood by humans. Is there some quasi-religious belief going around that AI will produce code beyond our mortal understanding? A mess is still a mess, regardless of where it came from.

NARRATOR: Claude Code was not, in fact, close to a small game engine.
Thariq@trq212

Most people's mental model of Claude Code is that "it's just a TUI" but it should really be closer to "a small game engine". For each frame our pipeline constructs a scene graph with React then -> layouts elements -> rasterizes them to a 2d screen -> diffs that against the previous screen -> finally uses the diff to generate ANSI sequences to draw We have a ~16ms frame budget so we have roughly ~5ms to go from the React scene graph to ANSI written.

@ZainNaghmi If you do it, frame it as a technique that opens up new possibilities for you instead of a required barrier to entry.

@rfleury You say that people complained about it being invite-only for inclusivity reasons. I was sad it was invite-only because I wanted to be there :(

@tsoding I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again: Tsoding knows more about the browser and JS than 90% of web devs.

It's funny how Webies complain that I'm a JavaScript hater yet one of my most popular videos (and also the most praised one) uses nothing BUT JavaScript inside a browser. I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing until everybody finally understands what Programming is actually about.

@ChShersh Manual memory management, pointer arithmetic, header file management, and various forms of UB come to mind.

@TheGingerBill My CS education was predominately Java and JS and I remember NPEs being a constant nuisance so I was attracted to languages that claimed to fix them. I now see what you're saying about them not being as problematic as people think (especially in a language with explicit pointers)

@nicbarkeragain IMO, Rust almost encourages Arena or Arena-like lifetime management. It's not escaping the borrow-checker, it's working with it. You draw circle around stuff with the same lifetime and it makes sure that's the case with static analysis.

AFAIK people already do this in Rust by using array indexes instead of references to “escape” the borrow checker, which to me is a sign of acknowledging the “reuse rather than reallocate” approach that is so common in C

@its_bvisness Thank you so much for this! Your talk helped me understand my frustration with the handmade community which is that often it feels like they are doing low-level programming for its own sake. It should feel just smooth to make a fast native app as it dos to make a react app.

@isaacvando I have no empirical evidence to back this up, but I find that when I use Rust I have to debug runtime issues much less often. It just feels like the Rust type/borrow system holds the logic together better than other languages.
