How did they get it to run well on the iPhone 2 I wonder if it was that slow

It’s not the working with people that I mind . It’s the lack of discipline in companies to spec anything out up front so your day is sprinkled with meetings and impromptu discussions absolutely murdering productivity . Then you have to work late just to get your work done. Maybe half days on site make more sense

Start in 91. It was so much better than it is now. Editor, compiler, and a few books. You built everything : windowing, dbase/ndx support, printer drivers, keyboard handling. It was the best of times. Desqview was peak multitasking ha. Don’t let anyone lie to you it was great.

If you are looking to rapidly build windows native apps just use Delphi. Superlative tool for this. Been using since ‘95

Really like using alpine with a classical JS server rendered stack too. Most crud apps don’t need a spa app and now you are working out of one code base again. Codex chews through this kind of code

Why have types? AI can infer everything. The ultimate ai language is as terse as possible to keep token count down but can still be understood by a human

Disappointed they didn’t use hiccup to generate html. Format?

Not seeing the "top talent" part at least from the H1B I have worked with which is probably in the hundreds at this point.

Delphi is leagues better and still supported

Delphi is the superlative windows desktop development tool. It does support styling and just about anything else you would want. There is a free alternative in Lazarus but I don’t know if it supports styling

Seems like you can quickly build out what you want in tailwind and then convert to css using an ai tool

Why doesn't paul take some of that cash horde and put it into the LISP community? Maybe he does?

If your personal projects are "work" then yes do not bother. These are my creative outlet and where I get to enjoy coding again. My day job is massive .net/angular/sql projects that are just meh.

ASP.NET AOT support coming in .net 8

I consider not having types a feature. One of the reasons i like clojure. spec > static types
