oh yeah - in this case the result is that the code was smaller and they were happy with that. correctness was not a criteria

If you replaced "AI" with "a developer" in this article, it might make more sense why it's being dunked on. It would be an article about someone telling someone to do something, and then when the work was done they were happy with the result. It's just a bit of a nothing all round

I mean. they're selling it to a competitor so it's not really an advantage

yes, but it's only advantage if one is compute-strained and the other isn't. if they both have lots then there's no advantage. if one doesn't fully utilise their compute then it's not an advantage either

Would you accuse someone of murder with 26% matching evidence?

I'm building something that has to share a pool of phone numbers for SMS between many businesses with many clients and the architecture I had planned out looks a lot like this - client gets assigned a phone number from the pool for all its interactions with a certain business.

Good write up of a tricky problem, and glad to real-world validate the solution I was considering.

All the apps i've worked on lately in Rails use GoodJob, which is a Postgres NOTIFY/LISTEN based queue system.

Their offering was paid-for bundles of components and templates using tailwind, which they primarily drove traffic to via their documentation, which wasn't getting visited as much anymore because people just used AI.

Startups generally _don't_ end up with better outcomes. Large companies stay stable, startups are volatile and often end in failure.

Stability means removal of volatility, which means to stay stable they end up becoming more generalised, rather than the laser focus a small team like a startup can have. That laser focus can work out when applied to the right problem at the right time, but is very much not a guarantee.

I'm an software engineer with 17 years experience and I can't even get an interview at most places I put my resume in to.

> Turso Database is a project to build the next evolution of SQLite in Rust, with a strong open contribution focus and features like native async support, vector search, and more

Some things you don't know people need until you're directly affected. For me, it was an injury related light sensitivity that made me realise dark mode isn't just a frivolous addition for looks

It shows the guy going to the restaurant, the same guy that eventually shows up at my door. It shows it on the way to a couple of deliveries and takes as long as extra deliveries should roughly take. It shows the immediate previous delivery when it's almost delivered, and the guy spends about as long as i'd expect at that place.

Not saying that it's not deceptive in some way, but it's more than just a surface-level difference.

When I choose priority delivery in Uber, I can see the driver go to the store, pick up my order and drive directly to my place. I also see the driver usually have 1-2 stops on the way if I don't select that. If there's enough gap between myself and the restaurant, priority is absolutely a time save.

If this is Uber then it's not legitimate.
