Based on all the negative comments, and being a non-expert, I had an LLM generate an article for that same title. I suspect it was more approachable and more technically accurate than this. In fact I asked it to compare its article with this one and the negative comments.

The author of any technical blog post should be using an LLM to vet things before posting to find gaps or inconsistencies.

That was my point — with LLMs the progress would not be at the same slope as with people only.

I believe with a little (okay a lot of) motivation and a solid LLM, these can all be rewritten faster than everyone says. Especially if it’s gradual.

Mozilla and Dropbox did it. LLMs are good at translating between languages, and writing unit tests to make sure things still work the same.

I’m curious, do you really use your own languages for day to day development?

It doesn’t follow that a language server written with JavaScript and run via node will bloat the binary by hundreds of MB. Are they bundling a node runtime too?

Maybe if they are embedding dozens of language servers and runtimes it could bloat the binary, but I assumed the extensions and language servers would be downloaded on demand.

But a rust binary by itself shouldn’t be that large. LSP is just a simple json protocol, so parsing it doesn’t require hundreds of MB.

It seems inevitable we’ll also be able to run LLMs locally, which would make this type of feature more appealing.

Pdfml is a great name because everytime I work with pdfs, I think fml

This come off so… un-human. Like a machine trying to preserve a human rather than a human trying to maximize real experiences with them.

So it’s competing with vercel?

Never learned awk or committed esoteric cli incantations to memory. Don’t get me wrong, I can get around on the cli, but sed, awk, etc just didn’t seem like a good cost/benefit investment. I’m also not a sysadmin.

Thankfully I waited long enough and LLMs can write them for me better than I ever could.

It is exactly the attitude you are still exhibiting that was the problem. “We’re in a crisis, no time to ask questions. Fall in line or you’re a far right conspiracy theorist/idiot.”
