Two way data bindings when you need them makes #datastar an absolute joy to work with.

@JLarky @IamKyros69 I've mostly retired to letting the labs (vibe coders, same thing) eat cake. One day they might discover better algorithms and streaming compression. Bubble is gonna bubble.

[Guillem Garcia @ggs4ns]

why software engineers have this low self esteem?

It's very easy to disprove this. Look at AI lab engineering outputs! They hire top talent, and have unlimited tokens + unreleased powerful models.

Can you see impressive software built by them? By impressive I mean:

- low RAM / cpu usage
- good UI UX
- no blatant bugs
- minimal downtime
- obviously no electron

... why isn't this obvious?

@AdamRackis @agilecoder @g2sans @tannerlinsley Yeah remember that time he said @cmuratori hated the web and then it turned out not to be true.

[Anders Murphy @anders_murphy]

@neogoose_btw But, how else does one cultivate embarrassment in these trying times?

[Dmitriy Kovalenko @neogoose_btw]

remember kids to make a benchmark that will not embarrass yourself in front of everyone in tech community you have to make sure that:

1. you provide the same inputs
2. validate both programs produce the same outputs
3. make sure that you are not providing the options that artificially slow down your oponnent

Customer support costs are trending to zero due to AI

Not because it's automating it all, but because your vibe-coded slop has no customers to support

I hadn't seen this one before - someone on reddit posted this fantastic trick for creating shell "runnable" C files

[Тsфdiиg @tsoding]

Software is as diverse as the users are. For some software reading the code and modifying it IS part of the UX. Because the user is a programmer. For such software clarity and simplicity of the code is crucial because it's the UI. Good example are TempleOS and st but there's more

Every time you say SQLite would be faster if it was multi-writer you make Thor sad.

[(λ. borkdude) 🌱 @borkdude]

Sustained open source is not about "can you create something crazy with an LLM" but how is the project maintained longer term. Who is the person behind the project, are they reasonable people, are they responding to issues in a timely fashion, making sane decisions. Stewardship.

[Anders Murphy @anders_murphy]

@_marcobambini Or you know go at least 2x faster than multi-writer with a single writer in a dynamic language using vanilla SQLite.

Big thanks to @hottakeweekly for coming on the podcast and walking us through his impressive demos and Rocket components 🌪️

Ok maybe it's a cult....

@huntjordan22 For those who want the full story I wrote about it here.

[Anders Murphy @anders_murphy]

@huntjordan22 Wait til you start using an embedded db in your app server. Just do a casual 100000 TPS over contended rows with SQLite on one core.

The whole industry is a but silly.

[Andy Gayton @cablelounger]

@RyanCarniato @g2sans as promised. these things always take longer than I think they will 😆

I think every time AI can do something equally good or better than humans it stops being valuable or special

Marketing videos used to take lots of work of editing and motion graphics and a big budget

Now with Opus 5.5 etc it costs $0 to make one as good or better

That means ANYONE can make a marketing video now, so the timeline gets flooded with these videos (as you see happening now) and people stop caring about them, stop watching them and they stop grabbing attention

The response then to still grab attention is be different and that probably means IRL marketing videos that are original and unique and maybe personal

It's the grim reaper meme where AI keeps commoditizing another media format and bringing the cost down to close to $0

It already did so for graphic design (2023), last year with Nano Banana for photography (2025), this year with Seedance 2.5 it did it for video (2026) and this and next year motion graphics
