This blog post shows how not to use AI. The author would have been unlikely to write such a uselessly redundant conclusion if they had to type it themselves.
Edit: I like the post, but it didn't need to be padded with fluff.
This is impressive and mirrors a lot of thoughts I have had about the future of backend frameworks. I love the focus on local development for things like pub/sub.
FYI, the redirect to /login breaks the back button on Firefox for Android and probably other browsers. Had to hold back and go to a history entry to escape.
I use it for programming and math. When I started using kagi almost 2 years ago, I had to go back to Google occasionally. Now I basically never go back to Google search.
I took a class psychology class on learning that was superb.
It taught how to memorize stuff: spaced repetition and semantic encoding. Spaced repetition is reviewing the thing at increasingly spaced intervals of time. Semantic encoding is coming up with connections to the idea. The wilder the better as that tends to be memorable.
The class taught some strategies for creativity such as use of analogies and trying to combine disparate ideas.
The class also taught cognitive biased, like loss aversion.
This class was life changing. It was also easy because the teacher applied the best practices she was teaching.
I would say something like that class is the basis for teaching people how to think.
You can improve without measurement by using reasoning and experience. As an example, Groupon drove itself into the ground by only improving itself in ways it could measure. They added many nagging features that a/b tests showed worked. However, the CEO ignored his less measurable feeling that this was cheapening the brand.
I found I formed a deeper connection with my D&D group once we started doing non-D&D things together. It was a switch from consistent friends to close friends.
It would probably be a stretch and overreach, but the angle I would take is that they are competing not on the merit of their products.
Consider airline miles. Each time I purchase a ticket, instead of choosing the best deal (fair competition), I am incentivized to choose an airline I have chosen in the past so as not to fragment my points across several accounts. And of course, these "rewards" are all a price passed on to the consumer.
