@valyala @_devdeep well, not really, all go functions are async and all syscalls are have an await. isn't it like this?

@_devdeep I do not care about the difference between promise and async/await, because I write programs in Go, which is free from these issues. journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/wha…

Backend Developers Do you know the difference? Promise vs async/await

@dhh Don't listen and what they say, look at what they do.

The narcissism of the net zero nonsense is on the chart! Committing economic harakiri for a pitiful 0.1C reduction. I'd call it pathetic, but the truth is that it's pathological.

@Jonathan_Blow @jamonholmgren never actually work, or end up not being as useful as i thought, and others end up being way more useful that i could have ever imagined, and now i can do them in 2-3 days in the background, while i keep doing my regular job.

@Jonathan_Blow @jamonholmgren I have agents writing for me TUI, spreadsheets, bots, that are really helpful for my day to day, they help me to automate things i used to do manually, and that I would have never had the chance to take the risk of investing 2 weeks into writing them, because most of them maybe

I've been spending a lot of time talking to experienced software engineers lately and when you get in a 1:1 candid conversation, everyone is rather shell-shocked by how quickly and drastically things have changed.

@sqs why should i use amp over codex

Amp is now ~50% cheaper on average (and much better) since we mostly replaced Opus with GPT-5.6 and shipped this little guy. Wild times.

@wookash_podcast tbh, I want more honesty and less corpo-slop. let's be honest and real with each other instead of pretending to be clean perfectly operational robots without emotions and flaws.

I find that baffling that for all Andrew Kelley's distaste of private enterprise, the one thing he could learn is how to handle comms, especially when you disagree with someone. Imagine making a programming language out of genuine effort to make the world a better place. Of course you would love people use it, right? You would be interested in making a community around it to make sure that people feel welcomed, encouraged to try and experiment, etc. You get three huge projects running Zig: @bunjavascript, Ghostty, @TigerBeetleDB. All of them are being developed by well known people, liked in the general tech sphere. Bun decides to switch from Zig to Rust. You never liked what @jarredsumner was doing with Zig language, felt excessive, but hey, he's leaving Zig right? He writes the post that memory safety issues felt overwhelming and too problematic and made this huge big deal out of Zig to Rust migration, everyone knows about it. You want to write a blog post response. What do you write? You're bothered that it's framed as "memory safety" and simultaneously happy that "comptime abuse" (lol) has come to an end. You could challenge @jarredsumner points, offer alternative moves, maybe even invite him over for a public talk. Instead you... lash out on the guy, attack his management skills (???), talk about "beginner energy"? What the post achieved? Would someone be confident to start an ambitious project in Zig now? Will they be called an idiot by the guy who's in charge of Zig's development because of wrong use of comptime? I bet @mitchellh and @jorandirkgreef will spend some time thinking what does it mean for their projects. Absolutely ridiculous! And finish the post with "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" Aaaa!

@SheriefFYI both are fine

@_naisstep like for memory allocations or for trial by combat

Andrew Kelley's post on the Bun Rust rewrite is a dumpster fire, someone needs to take the keyboard away from him while he learns some emotional regulation.

@thorstenball if you honestly think this you are out of touch slop is when you can clearly see a total lack of understand of the overall structure of the codebase, using interfaces where i would have used repetition and duplicating code that shouldn't be at all, for example.

I have the suspicion there are programmers who call code slop when it doesn't use their preferred naming scheme, or structures functions a different way, and so on. Slop to them is code not written in a way they'd write it. Which is a completely impractical view of course.

@JaimeObregon @HUnivValdecilla Que cojones dices Jaime, llevo años siguiendote y esto me parece irreal! Necesitas denunciar! Habla con un abogado, un detective, lo que sea, si necesitas dinero haz crowdfounding y yo apoyo

@RyanCarniato Just make time and the progress of the async operation part of the state.

Working through async Solid(React/Svelte) it has become clear to me core concepts need a bit refinement/clarifying. UI = fn(state) has served us well for a long time, but its only really half the equation. And trying to shoehorn everything into that greets broken expectations.

@erikdunteman ok. help me, i can't stop.

I've spent the month handcoding pretty much everything, and the brain atrophy has finally lifted. The deep joy I once felt is back.

@ThePrimeagen @kenwheeler MCP is SOAP change my mind.

@kenwheeler mcp is *almost* a good idea it has all the right problems thrown at it in the worlds most dumb implementation but this is anthropic engineering "the LLM is God in my pocket, its the expert, of course its right"

mcp feels like somebody asked ai how to do it

@NetMentorTW deepswe.datacurve.ai yo tengo mucha mejor experiencia con gpt-5.5 high, sobre todo a medida que el proyecto va creciendo

Me he fundido la suscripción Max de GitHub Copilot en 4 días. Eso sí, han sido 4 días currando a fuego. Unas 12 horas en total. (obviamente fuera del horario laboral) Mi sensación es que, sin IA, lo que he hecho me habría llevado entre 120 y 160 horas. Bueno... en realidad no. No lo habría hecho. Porque no tengo 160 horas libres. Puedo rascar una semana de noches, después de acostar a los críos, pero eso no es sostenible a largo plazo. Sin IA, muchos proyectos simplemente no existirían. Ahora me he quedado sin tokens hasta el día 1. Así que este finde tocará escribir un post. Si los críos me dejan. 😅 Nota: opus 4.8 esta muy por encima del resto. pero mucho.
