APL for talking to LLM when? Also, this reminded me of that episode from The Office where Kevin started talking like a caveman to make communication efficient.
While I agree that monopolies suck, I _absolutely hate_ having to waste my time adjusting styles and writing workaround code just to make everything look and work consistently in a multitude of browsers. This is one of the reasons — among a hundred others — that I grew to somewhat hate front-end, doubly so with the rise of mobile devices. And the more rendering engines we have, the more developers will have to fight frustrating battles with inconsistencies and quirks.
Janitor Engineers [0] are already a thing? Damn. Also, all links in this article starting from the "Why AI code fails at scale" section are dead for some reason, even though it was written only 5 days ago. That raises some questions...
EDIT: Not trying to offend anyone with this [0], I've actually had the same half-joking retirement plan since the dawn of vibe coding, to become an "all-organic-code" consultant who untangles and cleans up AI-generated mess.
It also has catalogs feature for defining versions or version ranges as reusable constants that you can reference in workspace packages. It was almost the only reason (besides speed) I switched a year ago from npm and never looked back.
This. I was skeptical at first, but it is indeed good at searching and answering questions without! That said, I still have to double-check results for niche queries or about stuff that is relatively new. Sometimes, the "sources" for the answers are just someone's opinions — unsubstantiated by any facts — on an old Reddit post that's only tangentially related to the topic. And sometimes, you simply know that manual search and digging through SO answers yourself will yield better results. At this point I've developed a gut feeling that helps me decide whether to prompt Perplexity or just g**gle it.
