Remember, game engines can render millions of triangles per frame, and Claude Code struggles to render a few hundred characters on a monospace grid. I wouldn't hold it up as a shining beacon of quality.

Here's a quote from TFA

> See, we were founded in 2019, making us a pre-AI company (ew!).

I'd wager the website is just the most obvious symptom of the deeper problem.

You'll have a more direct path towards better performance if the questions you're asking are closer to "how does a CPU work", and further away from "what hoops do I have to jump through in 2026 to avoid optimization bailouts after V8's latest round of changes"

> I'm never particularly concerned about frees in Rust outside of thinking about room to optimize.

Zig's position, love it or hate it, is that you should be thinking about it. Dropping a Vec<String> in Rust is O(n). Have you ever clicked the X on an app and it takes 10 seconds to disappear? Stuff like this is part of the problem. You shouldn't have to traverse your process's whole memory space just to call exit(0).

If you have to write that for loop, the O(n) will jump out at you and push you towards an arena or FixedBufferAllocator or std.process.cleanExit, or any other solution to avoid the loop.

I wouldn't have assumed they were desperately hungry. Maybe they were bored of eating the same thing every day and looking for some novelty.

I gate all my scammy SaaS apps behind Hail: https://github.com/aistra0528/Hail

It unfreezes doordash (or any app) when you explicitly open it, and freezes it again after you don't use the app for an hour.

You can't get spam notifications if the app isn't even allowed to run.

We did not solve email with legislation. CAN-SPAM is a joke, and you as an individual have no recourse when you get spammed: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/inbox/can-spam_and_consumer_...

Email is tolerable because gmail and others implemented software spam filters. Gmail did so because they were in competition with other email providers and it was a way to get users. The incumbent phone carriers have no incentive to compete here.

Other platforms did better solving the spam problem, so most people simply don't use SMS/MMS anymore. The kids and young adults all moved to Telegram, Discord, Whatsapp, iMessage, etc.

You remind me of those politicians who try to scapegoat people who point out security holes. https://www.theregister.com/security/2022/02/15/missouri-end...

Regulate the bad actors, not the neutral tools. Lockpicks aren't illegal, but breaking and entering is. Imagine if MasterLock used a lockpick to break into a government building and steal stuff, then tried to lobby to make lockpicks illegal. That's what OpenAI is doing, and you're falling for it.

No it doesn't. It produces working, but sloppy code, and it's able to do so because of deterministic test suites that run quickly and give a reliable score of the result, letting an agentic loop iteratively improve its output. But we have no test suites that answer "is this code maintainable" or "does this feature make sense in the context of our business", so AI still fails those tests.

If we had a way to write a test suite for English that could reliably answer "is this sentence useful to my target audience" or "does this paragraph make any goddamn sense", you might be able to run some sort of agentic loop to approach good writing, but so far we don't.
