Because the Perl one did not run on Mac easily and I wanted to see how it would handle, how much effort it would require of me, etc. The goal was for me to learn how the Ai behaves in this kind of task on something I though was fun and more people can play around with if they like.
But secretly, I just wanted to drain another swimming pool!
That's actually interesting, I checked and someone has been patching the original for newer Fedora versions. I only saw the original was abandoned did not remember to check distro repos. That patched version is likely much easier to run on a Mac too.
Won't there also be a point were you're shipping so fast that that in itself deteriorates UX? What if a page literally changes every time I reload? What if it changes mid-checkout process and the deal I agreed to 5 seconds ago does not exist anymore?!
I have come to realize that code (and I think possibly productivity in general) being expensive was always a feature. I am sure that a few great ideas did get lost to obscurity due to lack of access to resources to build them out. However, we now have an absolute deluge of complete and utter shite.
Agreed, for the individual LLMs can be powerful to let less technical folks build and customize their software - at an org level I reckon we'll start seeing more sinking ships as that bottleneck was actually helpful at limiting the flow of lackluster features to prod.
We didn't need LLMs to come up with the genius idea of making every desktop app a web browser.
Software quality was in terminal decline already, the only hope is that LLMs get good enough to dig outselves out of the several miles deep hole that has been dug.
I have no idea why these leftists think we care about this stuff. Lula and his party spent the last 20 years anesthetizing the population with handouts while they lined their pockets. Lula alone has a huge laundry list of scandals he's been involved in, and was literally brought out of jail to take out Bolsonaro.
They normalized this. Now everybody knows every single politician is corrupt in some way. There is no reason to hold it against any of them. Nobody cares anymore.
I think the worst part is having Management and Business types telling us how to do Software Engineering, and then firing everyone when their ideas don't work.
Promote yourself to CEO of your own company, and get the co-workers you work well with on board. Thats what all the greats did. HP, Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc.
Just don't tell management. Fight club needs corporate sponsorship. :D
I don't miss the memory models - on Borland or any other environment.
But oh, the license. "Use it like a book". That is, any number of people can use it, but only one at a time. And it was like two paragraphs, and written for humans, not lawyers. Amazing.
