Grinding bits and bytes since Atari 800XE. Flutter, Dart, Zig, C, Elm, Elixir, SQL (mySql, Postgres, mssql).

@DuckDuckGo browser blocked all of these on #Amazon. That's crazy.

If AI generated slop fills GitHub, each consecutive AI model trained on GitHub repos will get worse at coding.

[Gustav Elsner ⚡ @GustavElsner]

AI coding generates an awfully unreadable amount of slop for anything more complex. It kind of works, but 🤮. Do not listen to AI bosses telling you human coding is over. Their priority is to get out of the debt hole they created for themselves.

"Reactive Programming without React/JSX

VanJS offers every good aspect that React does, but without the need of React, JSX, transpiling, virtual DOM, or any hidden logic. Everything is built with simple JS functions and DOM."

@Jonathan_Blow Secret cheat code: put "idk" at the end of the tweet.

The current LLM race is revealing everything about the management and executive class. No more pretense, it is all out in the open. Deep understanding the subject matter by humans has been replaced with a chat box. I use codex, but I feel it is making me dumber.

@AtharvaXDevs Do embedded dev. Use TinyGo to build internet radio player and rebuild ancient radios for new age for fun and profit.

Optimizing some older SQL queries. `EXPLAIN` and `STRAIGHT_JOIN` are the most important MySQL keywords today. #Database #MySQL

Comparing Vite-generated code (commented out) with VanJS equivalent. I like how VanJS lets you compose the UI with reactivity. Using VanJS also results in really tiny builds (kilobytes) vs. Flutter Web (megabytes).

@hackernews Common problem with this kind of layout is that the user has to twist their neck left all the time. Not healthy if you have large monitor. Just center this thing.

If anything is an example of the classic corporate "too big to rewrite from scratch", it is AT&T business direct dashboard. Glued together with bunch of redirects to access older subsystems. Completely changing UI from link to link. 🧨⏱️💣
