Pretty awesome that The Democrats are running a 77 year old for the Senate. She'd be the oldest freshman ever elected. Records were meant to be broken!

They're kind of all praying their bet will pay off with the winner-take-all promise AI companies are selling.

It's going to be a global disaster.

The worst part is with the rise of authoritarian governments they'll be in position to further take advantage of that moment.

Either AI will pop first or the private equity market will. Both are way over inflated. The PE market has so many toxic assets that are inflated in value with no way to move them out of portfolios. PE has also run out of major markets to invest in, which is why most are putting so much money in AI

Our new back-end agnostic headless browser attached to Chrome remote debugger executing JavaScript on the native UI DOM.

BTW, that's running an older version of LiveView Native along with both a LiveComponent in one TabView and a nested LiveView in another

It was around how Hotwire breaks down its responsibilibies amongst the sub projects (turbo, stimulus, etc...) wasn't clear from the docs but I've got it figured out now

it's an interesting time, clearly the market is telling us that software devs are too expensive for many tasks but then they can only go so far and cannot achieve their goals without. However, the huge gap in cost between vibe coding and human coding is introduce massive sticker shock

They want to pay far far less

It makes sense, the market is responding to the reality of this stuff.

For every great dev out there able to demonstrate high value and quality of AI codegen, there's 100 non-devs just flooding the world with this shit.

We've recently seen many clients coming to @dockyard.com
that "need assistance finishing their app". Nearly every time it is some AI slop generated app that's looks to be a nightmare to build on top of.

Hey bksy, I’m on the look out for my next project, I’m an experienced Elixir dev (> 8 years commercially, and > 10 years of Ruby before that + I'm still the maintainer of RSpec), very familiar with Phoenix and LiveView, and have enough CSS / JS knowledge to approach projects from a full stack angle.

Do I have any Rails devs still in my orbit that I can ask some Hotwire questions?

Brian Cardarella @bcardarella.bsky.social · 9d

you should try dropping one of these in the grass while rigging a boat

Brian Cardarella @bcardarella.bsky.social · 9d

Maybe right above the group?

Recompilation times are fast but the initial compile time was slow because we have to build a list of allowed modifiers at comptime. This the unfortunate reality of working within a closed-source framework like SwiftUI.

I was being sarcastic as to their perceived value. Not an awesome sign if people are dumping stock but may e OpenAI doesn’t want to pay salary increases
