I am! I love the design of Gleam in theory but keep bouncing off it so I’m interested in seeing if AoC will help me give it a fair shake.

I’ve been tracking it for weeks and it comes back in stock only to sell out minutes later. I’ve had 2 or 3 times where I thought I got one, only to get the order cancelled email.

I can’t tell if there’s just no stock, or huge demand, but either way it seems like a great product. If only you could buy it.

> Code by one LLM can be reviewed by another

Reviewed against what? Who is writing the specs?

> LLMs I believe can help in synthesize what knowledge is there and what is missing.

How could the LLM help?

Given that it is missing the critical context and knowledge described in the article, wouldn’t it be (at best) on par with a new developer making guesses about a codebase?

While I did say "VM" in my original comment, to me this counts as "cloud" because the UI is functionally the same.

I think this is only true for teams and apps of a certain size.

I've worked on plenty of teams with relatively small apps, and the difference between:

1. Cloud: "open up the cloud console and start a VM"

2. Owned hardware: "price out a server, order it, find a suitable datacenter, sign a contract, get it racked, etc."

Is quite large.

#1 is 15 minutes for a single team lead.

#2 requires the team to agree on hardware specs, get management approval, finance approval, executives signing contracts. And through all this you don't have anything online yet for... weeks?

If your team or your app is large, this probably all averages out in favor of #2. But small teams often don't have the bandwidth or the budget.

Vue still is usable that way!

It's my favorite way to slowly add some order to legacy apps that have been overcome by jQuery soup.

> It transmits user input via a HTTP header called SHELLY-INPUT

It sounds like user input is the _only_ input, so why not just use a POST request with a body?

If C++ was JavaScript you would do:

import {vector} from 'std';

Which I think is a reasonable compromise, you're only bringing vector into scope rather than all of the standard library.

Likely a typo for "disbarment".

When I encountered sub-fizzbuzz programmers I think the job postings were all for junior developers. So the bar was already low-ish, you just had to have the right keywords on your resume and get past HR.

So probably a different pool than the 10+ year people.

It was a complete rewrite. Angular 1 vs. 2 share nothing besides name and some basic concepts. The actual code and tooling was completely separate.

If you've unfollowed everyone what do you expect to see?

> especially with products that have lot of features

No kidding. I'm 2 or 3 years into working on a SaaS app started in ~2013 and I still get bug reports from users that make me say "what!? we have that feature!?"
