@complex_maths So sorry for your loss

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@randomdb_ @complex_maths Thank you!

It does take a lot of time to create educational content and there’s a greater emphasis of getting things correct

I think this means theres always a subconscious push to move towards opinion/commentary as it’s much quicker to create.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@Shreyassanthu77 @ImLunaHey Agreed.

I also think that agents like to take the shortest path to working, and they like to fix symptoms rather than the underlying problem.

@LouiseDSadeleer This is where A.I. augmented video editing comes in.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@cjzafir True, but the 9.111•% is what really matters.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@ChShersh @razzy_ar Compile times are horrendous as well.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@vimtor Big fan!

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@ThePrimeagen I like to describe it as “code that works, but isn’t necessarily correct”

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@webdevcody I bit the bullet this year and maxed out my storage.

Cost an arm and a leg, but the peace of mind that comes with it is priceless.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@mixednuts_rs @desugar_64 Yes. I use it for debugging and analyzing data often, especially in my detection algorithm.

This is one of the things I find it’s good at, however it’s not so good at implementing a fix.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

If most devs are web devs then I can believe it.

Ain’t no way I’m building a video editor on the cloud though.

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

I’d estimate we’re ~6 months from most devs moving their code agents off of their laptops

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@drogus That’s probably fair. I think web development is the least trivial type of application of what could work in that setting (clis being more trivial)

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@dudetru25 Hardware encoders / decoders make this a little more challenging, although not impossible.

Ultimately I just find agents to be kinda bad at this sort of domain, unless they have very heavy hand holding and direction.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@imdbeee Yeah, you’d need a dedicated Mac VM or a workstation like a Mac mini..

Possible to do, but the feedback loop becomes way more challenging unless it’s just a simple UI with a database .

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@nixkristall I think that’s a different perspective, although tbf I have an MCP in my editor application.

Same thing, mine is local first rather than being remote for many of the same reasons I can find an issue with handoff to an agent on a remote machine.

@notafbihoneypot @keczan “Technically inclined” is not really the same as “technical literacy”.

I think Laurie is correct on this point (not the original though), many people are not inclined to build their own computer, even those who are technically literate.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@Na0ch @ayogiovanna Initially, it was incredibly novel and constant dopamine rewarding.

However, once the novelty wore off it became both unstimulating and emotionally taxing to use (lots of frustration)

Right now, I need to find the right balance of using it and still coding by hand.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@johncodes I think we’re potentially entering a dark age of personal computing.

(Also a video I’m currently scripting).

Concerning times!
