@ThePrimeagen 🌶️ take - I enjoy fixing difficult bugs way more than writing code or making new features

i just had my first bug in at least a 1/2 decade that took multiple days to even root cause... oof, these are SOOOOO exciting to figure out!

@R8T3D @IntuitMachine It’s called loss in the middle problem. It’s a problem for all LLMs atm

@IntuitMachine I love a huge context window, but I find even with the 32k model, the AI just seems to get lost and doesn't remember the middle details of whatever I'm inputting.

OpenAI to announce GPT-4 with a 128k context window! Time to revisit everything!!!

@jxnlco @yasser_elsaid_ @OpenAI OpenAI is equivalent to a cloud provider. There are many successful companies that wrap providers like AWS and add additional/specialised features that people are happy to pay for

@yasser_elsaid_ @OpenAI I’d say. Make it more white glove. And work to show that chasebase is driving business outcomes. Rather than being a chat your data feature. And build features that drive business outcomes in specific functions (lead generation et)

Tomorrow's @OpenAI event is both exciting and scary for me. Leaks show that they added a bunch of features to ChatGPT that compete with Chatbase. If that's the case, the obvious reaction would be to panic, and maybe I should. But I am optimistic and I think this will just expand the market and the need for niche/specialized solutions. I just need to be smart about my next few moves for Chatbase.

@DasSurma IMO it’s the language itself - the borrow checker, pattern matching, traits, etc… It’s a fast language with a higher level feel to it which makes it very attractive

I’m kinda fascinated by how Rust was the harbinger of next-gen JS tooling. Why did it take Rust? There were “fast” languages before, so performance alone isn’t the reason. Is it the modern, cross-platform toolchain that makes it easy to install these new tools for users?

@en_JS Would love to hear what you don’t agree with?

For…reasons I am experimenting w various Rust-based JS compilers. I don’t agree w every design decision but overall oxc is really well done.

@ThePrimeagen Give me types and tests and I’ll have a pretty good idea how a codebase works without reading much/any implementation code

tests are not a replacement for types types are not a replacement for tests if you exist in either of these camps you are wrong

@ThePrimeagen This is a dev workflow I use a lot POC in JS/TS Rewrite blazingly fast version in Rust

1 year of doing rust in review * typescript is amazing at exploration * rust is amazing at creating when you have domain knowledge

@AdamRackis Go see a proper sports physio. Best thing for most tissue related problems is strengthening the problem area Avoid chiropractors it's pseudoscience and yoga may help but best bet for long-term correction is strength training

I genuinely need your help, Twitter. My lower back is in constant pain that ebbs and flows. Orthopedic surgeon confirmed it’s muscular. I’ve avoided yoga as long as I can. Anyone have recommendations for practical back stretching / back-focused yoga stuff I can stream? 🙏🥲

@GergelyOrosz @Shogun is hiring Frontend (React), Fullstack and Backend engineers (Ruby, Rust, Go)

What companies are hiring software engineers, data engs, EMs? In the middle of some more gloomy news, I'd love to share more about the places still growing. Please reply here, or - even better - share details here: I'll aggregate and share all these. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@t3dotgg @tannerlinsley @RyanCarniato You on the couch like this?

Y’all have no idea what @tannerlinsley and @RyanCarniato are up to but…man.🤯

@jmamadeu @t3dotgg @Shogun Fixed

@williamtetlow @t3dotgg @Shogun DM is closed! I’m interested My LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jmamadeu

I have a pile of talented devs affected by layoffs - Twitter and otherwise. If you’re hiring for engs with 1+ year experience, DMs are open

@tmchein @t3dotgg @Shogun Fixed

@williamtetlow @t3dotgg @Shogun Your DMs are closed ):

@_SeanGroff @reactjs @kentcdodds Sorry to hear it! @Shogun is hiring DM me if you're interested

@ThePrimeagen Giving me F# TypeProvider vibes learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/f… fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Data/li…

ok here me out you know that JSON -> ts thing i made... what if you could use it in your editor and just automagically convert an object -> types in your editor...

@devongovett @evanyou It feels like we need a js-bundler-benchmark with a standardised set of testing criteria similar to github.com/krausest/js-fr… but ye with the amount of variance possible due to the configurability of bundlers it's a much harder problem

@evanyou Fair benchmarks are really hard. When esbuild first came out, their benchmark compared Parcel running Babel by default (at the time) vs webpack/rollup which didn't. Defaults matter, but hard to compare tools which do different things. Best to be transparent about it.

Is Turbopack really 10x faster than Vite? My thoughts: github.com/yyx990803/vite…

@flybayer @Flightcontrolhq Another for CodeBuild is it downloads the repo to a path that includes the build number so webpack caching that uses absolute paths becomes obsolete

@Flightcontrolhq CodeBuild blindly censors ALL env var values from the logs. So RETRIES=1 means ALL “1”s are replaced with “*” in your build logs 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

What are the most absurd things you’ve seen with AWS?

@flybayer @Flightcontrolhq CircleCI does the same, printing feature flag values for debugging just doesn't work because inevitably there's atleast one env var with the value true and false

@dylan_piercey C# and Visual Studio or Java and JetBrains I miss the level of tooling provided by Visual Studio and JetBrains. The level of detail you could get when debugging was so powerful. TS, Rust or Go dev-x isn't even in the same league as the C# or Java IDEs

What is the best programming language ranked by IDE/editor tooling?

@ThePrimeagen My favourite languages are dynamic statically typed ones You get the worst of both worlds

TypeScript building maintainable software via unmaintainable types™
