The unraveling of the Byju’s empire has come as a shock to many employees. One former employee who led a team for several years until 2024 told me he was proud of the work he and his colleagues had been doing
This is the only side that gets my sympathy in this story, the workers who tried their best to make a great product
This is maybe a second time I hear about the Browser Company, but what they declare sounds a bit contradictory. They say, they moved too fast with Arc, now they say that speed is not going to be a trade-off anymore (so, even faster changes, even more to learn for a user?). Open-sourcing a product without its dependency seems better than not at all. What they aspired to build sounds interesting, but ultimately, I'm not sure I would've tried that before, and even less now after they discontinued it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I find this statement to be a bit contradictory to your point of 'there is no "best" solution'
I don't think vibe-coding is particularly good thing, but I find it completely normal for someone to just want to vibe something up and not want to understand. It's not always a useful approach, but sometimes it might be a 'best' strategy, too
That's just short for JavaScript, isn't it?
If that's a joke, it's a good one. Otherwise, well, there are a lot of "this letter isn't needed let's throw it away," in most cases it will not work as good as you think.
This quote from Linus is what I find inspiring hope of a future wider adoption or Rust:
Thanks. I decided to try to do the merge on my own, but failed. I came close, but it was good to have your example merge to see what I got wrong.
The pin_init becoming a crate of its own, but 'pin::Pin' being in the core crate ended up messing with my "monkey see, monkey do" approach to Rust merges.
I'll learn eventually, in the meantime please do continue to give me example merges and I'll use them as training wheels.
Not everything that's poorly written is ai, you should give humans more credit
We have an engineering manager that's about the same, the only issue is that they let PR through because features are wanted and there's no time to get things right.
I think, I may be pleased to have to redo everything several times to make it better and simpler, but what we get is that everything is bad but we'll still merge 😞
I now feel at several times I fucked up quite a lot by making something that works but not something simpler.
My girlfriend is gonna be mighty upset is she thinks I'm into that kinda thing. […] please change the image to something Gnome-related and/or trustworthy.
That's an interesting takeaway from a DDoS issue
It's a step in between
Vibe coding is when you're not coding, just typing prompts into AI in hopes it will produce a legible code.
