@burkeholland Dear person who LITERALLY WORKS ON GITHUB COPILOT, the lowest number possible. But imagine the social consequences- kwheeler builds an automated farm - sells kit for $1000 a pop - hits millions practically overnight

What is the max you would pay for AI per month before it would make more sense to write code by hand? I have a number...

Thoughts and prayers.

I've been working on a new Software Architecture class description (more on that in a day or so), and Google Docs just told me that the document was, at least in part, AI-generated. None of it was AI-generated. That presents something of a conundrum. The last thing I want is for my course description to be rejected as spam by an incompetent AI-detection AI. I'm a good writer, if I do say so myself—I've been doing it for decades. The detector has evidently decided that if the writing is any good, it must be AI-generated. So, I seem to be in the position of deliberately inserting bad writing into my work in order to defeat the AI detectors. Here we have an AI doing active damage, driving down quality. The ramifications are considerable. Publishers, for example, are being inundated by AI-written garbage masquerading as novels. They are using AI-detection tools to try to weed out the junk, but when those tools weed out the best writing because the tool can't believe that humans can write well, the publishers are in more trouble than before they started. I also wonder if tools like Grammarly, which good writers use very judiciously—its suggestions are often wrong—are also part of the problem. Grammarly is basically benign, and I see a benefit in an average writer using it for things like cleaning up grammar, but if you use the tool, you're back into the it-must-be-AI-generated camp. So, AI detection will take that tool away from people who could actually benefit. The AI, here, is actively destructive. I know this is a radical thought, but maybe AI is not the panacea the hype-mongers imagine!

@ALEngineered What if you don't want a meeting, but the team expects a meeting to happen before working on the problem..

If you need a meeting to start the work then you’ll never really start. It’s universally better to get started and then meet to fix things and to change direction.

enter the era of shipping fast and overwhelming users with features they'll never use or even know about

My 2025 taxes are messed up because the IRS hasn’t yet processed my 2024 taxes. After navigating a phone tree for 10 minutes it says I’m being transferred to a representative…sorry, no one is available at this time. Try again later. No option to wait. No option to get a call back. This feels like a game I can’t win.

@samlambert Look at the ingredients tho

The PlanetScale office has good beverages

Typescript is getting rewritten.. Ken wheeler is building an ai powered garden.. All the hype went to ai ... we need to bring some back!

Is there anything new happening in Javascript other than @DavidKPiano's v6, @solid_js v2.. and the occasional new feature from @tan_stack?

@christophcsmith @foysavas Its already part of git. Git core emails patches around. Its code as speech, in .patch files.

@foysavas I agree that it should be part of git. The PR body and comments are important project management artifacts that communicate change intent and should live in version control with their associated commits.

hot take: pull requests are either a) overhead devs should have never adopted in github or b) a feature that should have been added into the git protocol itself

@foysavas Nah, whole frame is wrong. Any OS project could by default show the forks available ranked by some criteria. You pick the best fork. Maintainers compete. Its not a pull request, it's maybe show n tell, take if you want, or not.

I was so focused on producing generational wealth. I forgot to actually produce new generations.

What I notice: - Devs are pairing at several desks! - LOTS of them are talking to one another - Those locked in do so with noise-cancelling headphones Having worked at a place like this before (JP Morgan) you get a LOT more comms + camaraderie than you'd assume fwiw

@JoelStransky Hello

I can't take it anymore. If you post stupid Ai pontificating slop like this I'm blocking you. It's all been asked and answered, you're not some boundless thinker. We're trying to get shit done.

@lmxdev It isn't. SolidJS is as compiled as React was in 2015. We transform JSX nothing else. For some reason everyone treats us like some compiler but really we are a "Just JavaScript" library.

Sad

The main thing that I dislike about the tech industry is group think. Claude was the best thing ever 1 month ago today it’s trash because 5 people have said it. Think for yourselves humans.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give a man an AbstractAbstractFishFactory and you feed him for a lifetime.

@sheherenow_ @tannerlinsley Never need to click into a ui to test. Because most state is in the url.

@tannerlinsley 😅💖

waking up from a decade-long Vercel psychosis ~ can someone shill me on TanStack? tRPC? SST?
