@FederalistRedux If it doesn't actually *do* anything, it's a waste of taxpayer time and money. How many taxpayer dollars were wasted to make the legal equivalent of grandma's chain email?

Shall we make resolutions like "Vote yes if you like ice cream"?

@DavidKPiano Love this pattern. Tldraw does it too. Also allows you to think about persistence and collaboration as a completely separate problem rather than intertwined with your business logic.

AI is increasing productivity tenfold and saving companies millions, and yet no prices of any goods or services have come down. Interesting.

@sarahiscoffee @anicacihla Very different vibes but I still enjoyed them. I believe the author is working on a fourth!

@ChShersh @legendkeeperapp Also if anyone wants to join me in calendar hell, this is the portal: https://t.co/WWukpSCDyy

[braden @AdventureBeard]

@ChShersh Had to build this for @legendkeeperapp , except for every possible arbitrary calendar. Fun stuff.

crumbl cookie is the perfect avatar of declining empire. a century spent razing our prairies in order to inflate treats with cheap syrup, shifting the overton window of indulgence. it’s accumulated to this moment of lacanian jouissance: a 1000 calorie cookie that tastes like shit

@anicacihla isn't this a death cab for cutie song

You either wake up after 8, and three hours later it's 5pm, or you wake up before 8 and three hours later its 8:30am. There's no inbetween.

@irateApathete It's not that I necessarily disdain them; like I said, they have some specific use cases they excel in. I'm just seeing so much "Omgz Claude wrote a whoel app 4 me I'm rich I'm 10x now!" astroturfing on my timeline. They're just straight up lying.

[braden @AdventureBeard]

Idk what y'all are on about. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is useful in some cases, but it still needs an immense amount of handholding for anything beyond a simple static website. I'm productive with it, but only after reviewing each line one by one and correcting egregious mistakes.

[braden @AdventureBeard]

Like GPT, it's decent at writing unit tests and refactoring working code to be more readable, though it will still mangle working code sometimes.

[braden @AdventureBeard]

It's particularly bad with distributed systems code. It cannot grok race conditions at all.

@JohnWolfeYT The discourse reminds me of the stuff teachers at christian school would teach us. Historically-ignorant, contrarian garbo. 🤢

[braden @AdventureBeard]

@alder_mancy taz balance started the chain of events that got me into the industry, as well 😁

[braden @AdventureBeard]

I don't see how we can possibly trust Twitter / X to not algorithmically manipulate political discourse.

I love whenever somebody makes a pretty website the Hackernews crowd goes like 'This doesn't work on my washing machine's inbuilt Android fork with a 2" screen' and 'the animations were lagging on my 17 year old Windows XP running Firefox Portable version 5"

[braden @AdventureBeard]

@Mr_FJ Yeah the intention is for every drag and drop operation to have a meaningful result eventually
