OK this might be a wild (conspiracy) theory, but what if Israel is just an arms-length scape goat for the US?

I think these types of projects are really great for developers to exercise their end-to-end skills -- developing all pieces of the product. Kudos for launching it!

As someone who's done this before, the value is all in that experience and finding those gaps that you didn't know existed.

One important gap I originally didn't know about was needing a market for my product idea. I thought just because I had a clever idea that it would sell! Turns out that's not the case most of the time.

And in this case, I don't think there's a market for no-code solutions that simultaneously require HTTP API integration (that's not no-code, that's low-code), when there is a really simple low-code solution that doesn't require a network round-trip.

Again, kudos on completing the exercise of releasing something! It's a step most developers don't take, and absolutely worth the experience no matter where it goes.

Ha, thanks for letting me know! I hope it's not causing too many problems out there :-)

I've found the most useful prompt tip is to add to the end of every prompt:

"Ask questions for clarification as needed."

Claude will then present a list of questions I answer, either directly, or sometimes those prompt more thought or questions from myself.

Either way, that statement helps escape the assumption that I just want some slop reaching the goal in the quickest way possible.

I dabbled in Hack and HHVM several (almost 10 now??) years ago but haven't kept up. My understanding was that PHP8+ now includes the improvements that Hack brought, making the leap to Hack less interesting/valuable. Is that not the case?

Which raises the question: If the productivity gains are realized by the employer, is the employer not paying this subscription?

Maybe that’s the true destiny of AI all along..

I used to work in the telescope world. Our organization acquired another organization that was working on NGAT: Next Generation Astronomical Telescope. At the time, we were also working on newer telescope models, and I joked about what we would name those…

I guess astronomers, like programmers, are just bad at naming things.

Is the engine available as a package/library (like phpspreadsheet)?

Also, does anyone know of a golang excel engine??

I wish Google could have decided to stick with their “Don’t be evil.” ethos.

Instead, I find myself continually extracting their products from my life.

I’ve always referred to those client/server.

I was confused for a minute, thinking the announcement was that VSCode was going away!

Ahem, did you mean OpenTF?
