If you take your idea and add some web ui to manage the creation of apps and connect the pieces, I believe that there's great potential!

A couple years back I had a similar idea, but with a postgres+deno, and using .md files as the spec that generated the code https://github.com/lfarroco/verbo-lang

I think that in the future we might have specialized agents that operate under a specific opinionated tech stack. Like having one that is specialized in creating cli apps, another one for react+django+whatever, etc.

I remember having this issue back in 2014... maybe the tech is not there yet.

If those demands made any sense they would be enforced by the languages themselves. It's mostly a way of claiming to be productive by renaming constants and moving code around.

Last month I worked on some new features (like unlocking units) and some fixes to my browser autobattler https://lfarroco.itch.io/mana-battle . I've been working on adding an async PVP mode to it (using Supabase db and edge functions), should be up in the next few weeks. Learned a lot about shipping Electron apps and using shaders with webgl, might write a blog post about it later

I work with American companies since 2019. I have experience with web applications e2e, from user interactions in the browser, down to endpoint processing and AWS provisioning. I'm also a hobbyist gamedev, but that was mostly a way of learning about running shaders in the browser (game name is Mana Battle, there's a free version on itch).

Creating an we autobattler game https://lfarroco.itch.io/mana-battle It is being a good experience to learn how to work with shaders, and how well Electron apps run

There are some quantum effects in the brain (for some people, that's a possible source of consciousness). We can simulate quantum effects, but here comes the tricky part: even if our simulation matches the probability, say 70/30 of something happening, what guarantees that our simulation would take the same path as the object being simulated?

Even worse, as we are part of the universe, we would need to simulate ourselves and the very simulation that we are creating. You would also need to replicate the simulation of the simulation, leading to an eternal loop that would demand infinite matter and time (and would still not be enough!). Probably, you can't simulate something while being part of it.

The idea of my argument is that I notice that people project some "ethereal" properties over computations that happen in the... computer. Probably because electricity is involved, making things show up as "magic" from our point of view, making it easier to project consciousness or thinking onto the device. The cloud makes that even more abstract. But if you are aware that the transistors are just a medium that replicates what we already did for ages with knots, fingers, and paint, it gets easier to see them as plain objects. Even the resulting artifacts that the machine produces are only something meaningful from our point of view, because you need prior knowledge to read the output signals. So yeah, those devices end up being an extension of ourselves.

You can replicate all calculations done by LLMs with pen and paper. It would take ages to calculate anything, but it's possible. I don't think that pen and paper will ever "think", regardless of how complex the calculations involved are.

e2e web dev (frontend, backend, cloud, devops, you name it). I've been working on the PST timezone since 2019, so I'm used to that already : )

well, promises' computations start as soon as they are created, so they are not composable. and there' no cancellation/resource control as well. so I guess that the criticism is valid

It's the kind of commit that you get from someone that wants to look productive but is just renaming variables in their IDE.

I don't know why people take UB seriously. He never provided proof of any work experience - he claims to have worked for just a single company that... never shipped any code into production. Even his code examples on GitHub are just snippets, not even a to-do app (well, I think that his style of "just one thing per function" works as a self-fulfilling prophecy).

Maybe people like him are the reason why we have to do leet code tests (I don't believe he would be capable of solving even an easy problem).
