Is this github the real author of it? In the code i see a lot of reference to: Epicport which seems to be a website that hosts the game and differs from the one on the repo.

Pretty cool, i liked the touch controls on my phone. They weren’t perfect but were intuitive.

Since AI has started to boom, I find myself in perpetual fear if I will be able to provide for my family in the near future. I'm not resistant to change but I can't help but feel this amount of change will not end well for the average developer. The job market is already very competitive. I think the common belief this will unlock more jobs remains to be seen. I hope and pray my fear is misplaced...

He’s got some great tracks on the movie Natural Born Killers. I’ve always liked “the future”

For me it boils down to the reduction of jobs, pay and displacement of workers. Industry is already over saturated and the evolution of automation has sped up greatly. This type of automation goes hand in hand with displacement. I don’t foresee some great enlightenment at the end of the tunnel here, I see the end of development as it looks today. And I don’t think it will have any resemblance of the past.

It isn’t an improved version of autocomplete though, it allows you to submit a design / image and output code. Narrowing the gap between designer and developer.

I can’t stand these “tools”. And I find it morally wrong trying to automate every little thing a developer does.

The point is to have a domestic supply chain independent of other nations. It’s becoming vital for security purposes.

this is a horrific use of ai

pretty cool article

How would an "Html Web Component" handle state change? I was a bit lost on the benefits given the example of wrapping an img tag. Sure you could group and reuse common elements but you would still need javascript to do anything interactive. Even in the example given the alt text of the image is typically dynamic now because of localization so even then content is missing with javascript.

It sounds almost like the author is advocating for a really dumbed down BFF layer (backend for frontend) but what they are missing is behind the bff layer you would have general purpose apis. And if I interpret the article to the extreme what is the difference between this pattern and how html is currently served. Salesforce works sort of similar to what is described and it’s a nightmare, these restrictive ideals in my experience just aren’t good in practice because they tend to slow down development.

converting these buildings to homes would solve a lot these issues. Local business can’t survive from locals? What about the inverse of the increased economic activity in the community these workers live in instead of commute to? There has to be solutions that work for everyone besides forcing everyone back to office.

You have a pretty pessimistic view. Regardless of WFH or going to office you need to make a conscious effort to move more.
