I have been programming for 16 years now. I am glad AI arrived because I was getting sick of it anyway. You can’t call Art a form of plumbing different blocks together with business glue logic. It just highlights that we were plumbing all those frameworks and tools together in order to produce piece of code that businesses or individuals are willing to pay for.

When I was a junior developer I did see programming as an art but I really don’t see it anymore. What is important is the output. And does the output is in accordance to its design and functions as intended.

You can produce great software with any code or programming languages that you can think of. Some tools and practices produce them faster and/or with higher quality and correctness.

You can replicate the same product with almost any programming language now and good software practices now. AI makes the writing process a breeze but doesn’t solve what is art: the design and the vision (why and what). Therefore I think you can’t call the process of production an art. It’s really not that special.

Spawning a process and piping the input? This does require having a node available at runtime though.

Isn’t the main point of using zig to avoid having a runtime and garbage collection to begin with?

What makes Bun Bun is all the things that got removed from this project. Node is already powerful enough and well maintained. Why would anyone use this?

Why do I feel like reading the post of someone jealous or with low self esteem issues? Zig was not a good fit so why does it have to be a personal attack on the Bun maintainer over his life choices and his management decisions? Whatever beef you have with someone it should not be « zig is for elite and you are just an evil corporate maintainer because you are holding it wrong »

Esperanto is not what I would qualify as a beautiful idea. It’s way too Romanic and sounds awful

I will try this new release of brew but I have been extremely satisfied with determinate nix so far. It completely changed my confidence in installing new stuff

I am curious about this Fable 5 but maybe it’s just communication. I have been using DeepSeek v4 Pro to test it against Claude 4.6 and I couldn’t tell the difference… and it’s way, way cheaper. I don’t understand how American companies will survive the race. Maybe protectionism…

Maybe Mythos told them to quit using zig because it is not safe

There was a boat to jump on? To gain what?

From the pricing page of deepseek:

(3) The deepseek-v4-pro model is currently offered at a 75% discount, extended until 2026/05/31 15:59 UTC.

Was this taken into account when reviewing the model?

What prevents these no tech tractors to be electric?

Similarly I think some work should be done on the Russian alphabet too,

уоэа (uoea) юёея -> ÿöëä

And do something about all those bees : ВБбьыъ

I agree with you. Cats outdoors are a nightmare to local species. This super predator kills everything and is already responsible for the disappearance of so many species of birds lizards and other mice. I do love cats too but they have not their place outdoors, it’s like releasing an atomic bomb on local ecosystems. Their only place outdoors should be where they originated from where food is scarce

If only people had better alternatives to car ownership, such as reliable, fast public transport, e-bikes, nearby shops, working from home etc… I would bet that car ownership would not be necessary for 80% of the current car-owners population. And maybe depreciation would not be that of a concern?
