blanched

I'm having a lot of difficulty reading this and I'm not sure if it's because of the style or the terminology.

I don't mean to be patronizing but did the formatting go wrong here?

Not all programming languages are equal. Some are easier to review, some are faster, different ecosystems, different target architectures, many reasons.

That's like someone saying "What is the purpose of x64 in the new age of C?" back in 1999.

Why do you think diataxis and the google guidance is outdated now?

Why not? “Customer experience” is arguable, but most design documents I’ve seen involve the others.

Now who's being a Veruca Salt? Everyone in this thread is clearly literally talking about the message.

I'll admit, this is a heated topic, and heated topics rarely go well over text.

I apologize for misreading and pettily being condescending "in return".

I agree with the way you phrased it here.

I didn’t assume, I asked. But you’re being particularly condescending, so I guess that’s where we’re at.

“Directly incorporates” is pretty vague and still seems like it’s financial, but good for you. I hope it’s something that assists artists and doesn’t replace them. Personally it’s hard for me to find meaning in something like that, given the thread’s context of “I don’t even look at the code”. What craft was done? In what way is the movie better now? It’s cheaper?

I won’t endorse glee about anyone losing their job, even if it means people with a lot of freedom can throw things at the wall and see what sticks. Same story as always, it’s just faster now.

I'd like to consider myself somewhere towards the middle of the spectrum on AI outlook, but posts like yours in this thread depress me. It's difficult for me not to see it as spreading FOMO so that you can gain financially.

When's the last time you worked as an IC? Is there any reason to take your opinions on "my job" seriously when downward pressure on salaries is only beneficial to you and whatever AI companies you're attempting to start?

"The world will be better off as a whole". Why do you think this? How are you contributing to making the world better with AI? Is there any reason that's not related to making money?

In the spirit of this forum and at the risk of being very cringe, I’d guess that’s like being the founder of a company versus being one of the early employees :)

What should? Presumably if it were easy and solved their most visible problem then they would have done it already?

That's what the person you replied to is talking about, and they're right. Putting aside the final byte size (where protobuf also wins), protobuf is faster at both encoding and decoding than json. There are numerous benchmarks you can find that show this.

The advantages of json are not related to performance.

I get what you’re saying, but I wouldn’t say easy is the opposite of challenging. As a quick example, I would surely find a day job of manual labor harder and significantly less enjoyable than a day job of software engineering challenges.

(And please note that I do not mean to imply that there are no challenges in manual labor or that software engineering is more important.)

That makes sense to me. Thanks for explaining.

And I'm sorry to you and the parent poster for being needlessly snarky, I wasn't in a great mood when I wrote my original comment. I'll avoid bothered-posting in the future ;).

Just because you can mad-lib something that makes sense at the surface doesn’t make it insightful.

How are plungers comparable to LLMs?

Maybe I'm incorrectly parsing your comment, but what does a "founder centric pov" for documentation look like?
