We need to envelope the planet in weed smoke and put shrooms into the water supply instead of whatever they’re putting in right now!!.!!!! Whose with me
Unfortunately GPT-4 and even other coding co-pilots like Phind kinda suck at anything beyond "noob tier" / beginner level questions. In fact it has gotten so bad that I ended up Open AI subscription.
It falls apart at anything with complexity, and I feel that just taking out a sheet of printer paper or going to the whiteboard is always far more effective than trying to get GPT to come up with something that at the bare minimum has no errors.
Why do we need anything? Ultimately we will find out in time if there is anything of actual value here. Right now we’re at the start of the roller coaster ride.
Obviously I hope to see some cool stuff. But I’m also realistic. We won’t know until we know. But we shouldn’t try to force anything imo. Unless you’re a VC who wants his returns.
Dang that just hit me. They were around for 1 THOUSAND years. I'm an Indian-American, and the country I was born in has only been around since 1947 and America since 1776.
In terms of "empires" that were founded, its crazy how young our modern societies are compared to Rome.
Mass layoffs are part of the Faustian bargain you accept when you sign the offer letter to work at the behemoths of capitalism. These are the biggest like top 10 companies in the whole world.
It’s just business.
But then again even those making 400k plus TC make appeals to emotion instead of rational thinking.
There are plenty of jobs for these people where they can make 200k TC and not risk getting fired, which is still a good salary.
If you want more and more, you must play with the devil. It’s really not that complicated.
tbf maybe my analogy is wrong but I see there are various players like nvidia and open ai (shovels), vector db and other "infra" type startups (laundromats), and everyone else who is building apps in this ecosystem (miners).
The miners keep coming and going because most of their apps either fall way short of actual enterprise value/expectations, or can be easily incorporated into the big players.
Who exactly benefited during the gold rushes of the 1850s? I think it was everyone else but the miners. Did some miners make a fortune? Sure, but what remains of their legacy today is the foundations laid by the shovel makers and laundromats that allowed california to blossom.
As a consumer I want and like the tight restrictions apple puts on the App Store.
It’s not like users can’t purchase stuff without paying the 30% premium added by developers to offset the apple tax. Just go to the website and buy there. And save the 30%.
My parents who are older use iPhone. They don’t have to wade through trash like android play store. Most apps are good in the iOS store.
If epic wants kids to buy more stuff have their parents pay the 30% premium. If your kid is glued to the phone I’m sure you enabled that and can continue enabling it. Sorry not sorry.
So again forgive my ignorance here. I formerly worked at a unicorn startup that exited some time ago, so I've not worked at FANG or something huge like that, but definitely at a company that needed to pump out tons of features fast for both internal stakeholders and external users.
For user facing stuff we eventually developed a design system so fair enough, don't need retool or something there.
For internal facing stuff, before our design system was built, we'd literally just use mui (or bootstrap, or even bare bones) and react and put together whatever tool Sales/support/etc. needed and it would be live in like a couple hours max. I could access any streams or databases easily, and put a simple UI around whatever. Things like a need to load up customer information from sfdc instance A and cross reference it against data in live customer db, and call out any data (like phone/email,etc.) that didn't line up.
Wouldn't it be easier for a full stack engineer to just code it? Or am I missing something? I mean drag and drop + set up interactions + pull from database + write to database + other things via a UI seems more time consuming than just writing 100-200 lines of code.
How do I get access to my customer database in this tool and salesforce instance? What if I need to check a user's account information via our account service to see if they have access to some additional paid features? Would I even want to connect a live data store to this kind of tool?
Sorry if I'm rambling, I am just confused if this is a valid use case or not. Or is it just to make basic forms?
Maybe I’m totally missing it but why would I use it over sql? All those companies have their own flavor DSL so are you saying this is to standardize using it? Thanks
