I think this "trend" is due to AI companies paying (in some form) the influencers to promote AI. Simple as that.

Been working on offline apps (Android) for the past couple of years. Syncing is hard. Some takes:

- There was never a budget for CRDT's

- Conflicts were never our primary focus, instead our focus were business problems

- Event-sourced arch + offline first app was quite a fun. Basically I've recorded all the events in sequence in SQLite, queued them up when there was a connection and had network retry policy in place + reverting an event locally if retry failed n-th amount of times.

I've mocked a lot in my past. Last 2 years I've been using fakes explicitly, although it has an overhead, I like it as there is less maintenance and refactoring with tests.

Event-driven architecture should be implemented across complete system (client-be) or be used in a single feature, i.e. it needs to be all or bare minimum, else it's just an absolute mess.

As an indie AND dev, with close to 100k downloads on the app, I dread of making any changes to my app. It's like looking for trouble really. Last couple of times I made smallest change, there was always something else I needed to address.

As a professional AND dev, this sounds like there might be less devs, which means more work for me.

> Just show the updated code not the whole file.

This just doesn't work for me. It keeps showing complete file content.

AI was incredibly helpful while learning LeetCode. Altho it's unable to reason at this point, it has was amount of info about most of the data.

I've noticed my TikTok feed is full of "Bosnian Serbs want emancipation, war is looming on Western Balkan" type of videos lately. My guess is Russia and China want another war far from Ukraine so western nations focus less on Ukraine.

Always wanted to contribute to open source and expand my knowledge about programming and connect with people, however, I've always had way to much paid work that I was never able to contribute to OS; been working full-time and part-time projects in parallel for last couple of years, majority of my carrier to be more precise.

I really like to use Insomnia (Bruno alike) to import all project API's and debug API's over Insomnia. Does the job much faster for me.

Just wondering, does this mean OP c/p it wrong or bot is posting and it reused same title?
