The problem with replying to the proof-demanders is that they'll always pick it apart and find some reason it doesn't fit their definition. You must be familiar with that at this point.

Worse, they might even attempt to verify your claims e.g. "When AI 'builds a browser,' check the repo before believing the hype" https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/26/cursor_opinion/

Is this a joke? Are you genuinely implying that no one has ever got an LLM to write code that does exactly what they want?

No. Mashing up other peoples' code scraped from the web is not what I'd call writing code.

Can you not see how you truly, deep down, are afraid you might be wrong?

It's clouding your vision.


> Considering nearly every S/W dev globally can make that in a couple of days

This is only possibly true if your definition of "global" is "1st world".


> The cloud could be the worst thing that can happen to the Internet

Is this not the same as saying "The internet could be the worst thing that can happen to the Internet"?


I can't believe you're writing proprietary software. I thought you were principled.


It's basically a glorified list of regexes. I'm sure you'll live without it.


I agree. I've learnt my lesson and I will _NOT_ be running "npm install" on any greenfield projects anymore. I like the idea of Svelte but I do not like its dependency on npm/node.

At least with Vue I can just include the library into the page, with no mandatory build step.


The trade-off is performance. If you don't build your application, you're offloading work to the client.

In the case of Svelte, you're also likely increasing the size of your site, since it transpiles down to simple JS instructions rather than abstracted framework calls.


Have y'all looked at RiotJS? My current favourite, not in my way, easy to reason about JS toolkit for building (all or part) of web-interface



People think of backblaze as a backup/archive but it is explicitly not an archive - it is a backup and if you delete a file on your system it is purged within 30 days from the copy.

Most people don’t really think about this and expect that any backup is AlSO an archive. You can get burned by this and have to use b2 or whatever it is instead.


What? That article is about how it utterly failed as a backup, with files that were still on drives or had just been on drives but couldn't be downloaded.


Thanks for sharing this.


No problem. I hate the thought of data loss. They may be better now, but who knows, it's worth being sure.


What was the conceptual change that occurred in 1995?


I was sad to find out that rms apparently didn't even say it.


What are you talking about? Where does he "suck up" all Justfiles?



I see. Interesting.
