@TheProjectUnity hey gpt, print me a boat, make no mistakes

[Dirk @dirk_does]

Google, what are you doing? I started using the Gemini API 3 days ago for developing a new tool.

Literally every day so far that I’ve been using it, the thing has been down 1/3 of the time.

@matrixbt New generation of devs are lost

[Dirk @dirk_does]

I just prompted "generate an image of a twich stream of sam altman playing gta6"
So i didnt even ask

[Dirk @dirk_does]

aint no way! New @OpenAI Image gen made a Twitch Chatter called OpenAIGooner

@thdxr @dexhorthy This is the future. Agents do all the work. Developers can finally touch grass.
Never thought we would ever get to this point. 🥹, I'm getting emotional here

@thdxr True wisdom

Todays experiment:
Set up and deploy a server with Google OAuth.
Littaraly did it in 2 hours. Simple rails server, used device for the OAuth. And used kamal for deploying it. MAN I love this!

also I am sure someone else can do it way way faster than me

@jesse_vermeulen oh, and lets not forget the casual toilet breaks

[Dirk @dirk_does]

@jesse_vermeulen Since last month I have been working in 2 to 3 project at once (or multiple worktree's).
So if one session is running, i am validating the other.

@chrisgpt 'Millions use it' - Internet Explorer had users too. Fix-it-later breeds technical debt spirals.

@Layton_Gott This is a really good question

[Dirk @dirk_does]

@Shahahahzaman But big IDEs are getting old. VS Code is best since you want lightweight editors now.
with an AI chat/CLI.

[Dirk @dirk_does]

@Shahahahzaman It is useful for getting pain everywhere in your body.
Believe me, you missed nothing.
It's a big IDE for more intelligence.
But if you want a big IDE, JetBrains is wayy better. Go with Rider. It does the same thing.e thing.

[Dirk @dirk_does]

I love gems. I needed units conversion, and guess what: not 1, not 2, but 4 gems read to be implemented! Yet another reminder why I love Ruby!

Even better, the Measured gem includes a short comparison of the different alternatives in their README

@matiasszarfer Those refrigerator sized laptops from the old days are so funny if you look back at them.

[Dirk @dirk_does]

@vishaltweetup I was a big JetBrains fan. But with the shift to using AI more and more, I began to multitask more and more, and began to use those fancy IDE tools less and less. My biggest requirement became a quick and usable code editor that I could spin up 6 of at a time.

[Dirk @dirk_does]

@xWayfinder Artificially created by an Intelligent being.
Still counts as AI slop imo 😉

@kapilansh_twt Unemployment

@dhh I lived on a farm. Would not recommend it for the average programmer.
Not with those soft little keyboard fingers
