  1. I am giving my 6 year old girl an old acer netbook that boots directly to pico-8. This will be her first computing experience. She never had access to phones or tablets.
  2. I think there might be something here! a core of truth about what the future might hold. I cant take this approach right now though. Its not a good approach today.
  3. Sure. But am I supposed to still understand that code at some point? Am I supposed to ask other team members to review and approve that code as if I had written it?

    I'm still trying to ship quality work by the same standards I had 3 or 5 years ago.

  4. I must be holding wrong then because I do use Claude Code all the time and I do think its quite impressive… still I cant see where the productivity gains go nor am I even sure they exist (they might, I just cant tell for sure!)
  5. Very good (albeit extremely cynic) take!

    reality is probably somewhere in the middle but it does make a good case

  6. I’ve always had this weird intuition that Zeno’s Arrow Paradox is some indication that there must be some discreteness. Somehow, somewhere, there must be a ‘tick.
  7. What happened with their plans to start writing in Swift? Does anyone know?
  8. Hope someone somewhere still has the source for MicroProse’s Shandalar.
  9. I've implemented otp codes / magic links many times now. They absolutely always have a timeout. Say 30 minutes.
  10. Some of them are wealthy because they are the best at playing the wealth game (and got lucky along the way).

    Why does everyone care about Cristiano Ronaldo? Being the best at kicking a ball is the stupidest skill there is (IMHO).

    at least becoming wealthy is a game that correlates with skills I care about.

  11. Marko is server side. How is that closer to svelte?
  12. Hi Derek!

    It's not new, my first job circa 2007 was working on a Delphi 7 desktop application and all the "business logic" was stored procedures in an Oracle db. It was early in my career but I believe this was fairly popular in the early 00s. I was too young to have an opinion but for sure others will remember and be able to add more colour to it.

    Nice seeing you around here! I'm a fan.

  13. I'm just going to say something I know nothing about but just some intuition.

    Women are exposed to so much crap all the time. Sprays, perfumes, creams, scented candles, candles, incense, etc etc.

  14. Lex Fridman is in the same vein
  15. I'm a huge fan of Claude Code. That being said it blows my mind people can use this at a higher level than I do. I really need to approve every single edit and keep an eye on it at ALL TIMES, otherwise it goes haywire very very fast!

    How are people using auto-edits and these kind of higher-level abstraction?

  16. Yes you can and I do often. Would I build my new high-level lang around OOP? Nop
  17. So? Is OOP widespread? Yes of course it is.

    Besides that what is really the point you are making? That you can write software using Smalltalk or CLOS or any of their bastard offspring? Yes, you can and people did and still do. So what?

  18. Not true for react, swiftui, jetback compose, etc.

    Everything else was built in the 90s or early 00s which was peak OOP

  19. > the object-oriented architecture

    Stopped reading here. Good luck with your shared mutable state! Enjoy!
