But that would be the same argument for using electron? Why use this and not electron?

I had the same issue with a different key on 2 separate macs. A 1 and a 2 year old MacBook pro. 95% of the time I'm WFH using magic external keyboard, which also has the same problem so I bought a new one. Keyboards are a massive problem at apple.

I agree. The author seems only happy with RAG, insert nail/hammer quote.

I think of contradictory examples where the article doesn't make sense: LLM Chat products are just the product of training data. Generative coding applications take 1 prompt and generate a lot of code.

What this article did make me think is the existing Chat UI in coding apps are too limiting. Some have image attachments, but we need to allow users to input more detail in their prompt (visually, or by having a pre-generation discussion about specifics). That's why I think product engineers will benefit from AI more than non technical folk.

Also, do you have resources that align with those opinions?

Drone startup | Senior Software Engineer, Fullstack Software Engineer | 2 days/week in the office (London, UK) | UK citizens only

You'd be working with other passionate product engineers who previously worked at Google, Amazon, Helsing, Darktrace and Improbable. You'd be working alongside me in building a modern, ground control station application for drones using web technology. For my project, we use React, Tailwind, drizzle-orm, SQLite, Postgres, maplibre, deck.gl, Node, Python, asyncio, FastAPI and more.

Examples of things we're building: low latency data and video streaming services for collaboration, or intuitive/modern applications for planning and performing drone missions.

If interested, please reach out to my temporary disposal email: [email protected]

We highly value passionate engineers with personal projects or technical hobbies. We also value collaboration: pair programming, discussing, teaching and learning from others.

I mostly mean the text editing functionality I guess. Visual Studio Code is the IDE I use

Stealth startup in drones | Senior software engineer, Fullstack software engineer | currently remote, but potentially 2 days/week in the office next year (London, UK) | UK citizens only

You'd be working with other passionate product engineers who previously worked at Google, Amazon, Helsing, Darktrace and Improbable. You'd be working alongside me in building a modern, ground control station software for drones using web technology. For my project, we use React, Tailwind, drizzle-orm, SQLite, Postgres, maplibre, deck.gl, Node, Python, asyncio, FastAPI and more. We highly value passionate engineers with personal projects or technical hobbies, over leetcode engineers. Examples of things we're building: low latency data and video streaming services for collaboration, or intuitive/modern applications for planning and performing drone flights.

If interested, please reach out to my temporary disposal email: [email protected]

PS: I value collaboration: pair programming, discussing, teaching and learning from others. One positive signal is that I've gained 27k points on StackOverflow. Bonus points if you've demonstrated positive impact/glue in teams and organisations.

Absolutely! Imaging setting a bunch of css styles through a long winded AI conversation, when you could have an IDE to do it in a few seconds. I don't need that.

The long tail of niche engineering problems is the time consuming bit now. That's not being solved at all, IMHO.

This checks out with someone I know who grows their own plants, and me, who doesn't spend time growing plants. We're both not interested in the product.

Maybe it has a niche. Millionaires who want to go on holiday but still like to grow plants. It seems more like a gimmick.

I believe FU money is not about how much you earn, it’s about how much you save vs. spend. I can afford to stop working for more than a year, even though I’m not 25 yet, I would gladly say I have FU money. It’s because I don’t spend much.
