All wrongs in Gatsby have been gotten right in Astro. What will happen next remains to be seen, but currently Astro is amazing for a few specific cases it covers. The performance, developer experience and documentation are all great.

amazing performance.

Basically he's describing DSPy[1]

It feels that today security is secondary to growth. As long as your growing, a few incidents here and there aren't going to make a difference.

Well I feel like they will take security more in context from here on out.

Atleast they didnt implode their communications like I see from some other companies.

To be really honest, when you bet on AI agents, I feel like soemtimes you bet on the future of the product as well which is built by the people so you are basically betting on the people.

I'd much rather bet/rely on people who are sensibile in communications in troubled times like this than who implode sometimes (I mean no offense to Coderabbit but this is what comes to my head right now)

So moments like these become the litmus test of the products basically imo by seeing how people communicate etc.

I have a feeling that usually when someone complains about freedom of speech, they are actually complaining about something else.

the LLM doesn't have the concept of time and it doesn't incorporate new data, unless it's put into the context, so I don't see the point of this suggestion.

The whole thing is a joke anyways. The numbers are meaningless. The inconsistency in output from day to day highlights that even more.

Reading about the the complexity of Rust makes me appreciate more OCaml. OCaml also has a Hindley Milner type system and provides similar runtime guarantees, but it is simpler to write and it has a very, very fast compiler. Also, the generated code is reasonably fast.

…and the compiler is very fast. I’d say that OCaml is now a mature language with modest but steady growth in the standard library, while still introducing ambitious new features in the compiler—such as the effect system.

Javascript wins by keeping the costs down. Companies today want to do more with less, which is how it should be and you are still free to choose from a myriad of technologies. When you pair this setup with LLMs, it's actually the best it has ever been IMO.

In theory yes, but in practice I wouldn't say that for example the way Facebook and Instagram developed is an example of superiority in social media design that has won. Honestly, technology can make life worst and we should find against that.

Also, things like visual arts and music can be watered down by devaluating the real stuff and equaling it with AI generated stuff.

Arguably, we used to be better at making physical stuff, we used to make beautiful amps, synths and drum machines, which to this day are highly valued only has software equivalents today.

He's a great writer and I miss his blog. He had an awesome post on pivot table that I think is now a part of this book.

He is also the creator of the Altair visualization library (Vega-Lite in Python https://altair-viz.github.io/). I really like using it.

Thanks for the fact, I used Altair sometimes and really admire the simplicity, not knowing it was written by Jake.
