They said the same about low code and no code when they appeared. That didn't happen. And it won't happen now too. Sales people, managers etc don't want to dabble in technical things and do not want the responsibility.
No idea but we have few Team Premium seats and everyone is encountering issues daily for past two weeks. From straight up outages to vscode extension/CLI refusing to process messages. It's been unusable for most of our work hours past two days.
Great that there's a new model but they could fix their existing infra. We're considering dropping our Claude Team sub cause it's unusable recently. Constant bugs, dropped sessions, issues switching models, http errors. It's becoming ridiculous
Absolutely everyone who doesn't work with hardware, or on specific problems, because it's far more popular, easy to hire for, easy to deliver an MVP with and easy to have people jump between frontend and backend with. I'm saying this as someone who specialized in .NET before and now writes Node/TS. I simply grew out of the opinion that language/architecture is everything. When you make a product delivering quicker matters more than choosing a marginally more performant language, unless you're solving a very specific problem that requires that performance. Adding one more server costs less than hiring engineer for a more niche language and if you have the success that requires you to scale up that much, money is probably not the problem anymore. Granted we're in LLM era where everyone can write anything but it's still better to have people vibe in language they actually know, so they understand what's happening. You can always extract services later on and rewrite them in a more performant way, noone's stopping you.
I personally like Codex much more as vscode integration. It's actually nice to use, looks great, handles images much, much better, can even send me images in the chat to see what it's doing(my side project is based heavily on image processing), and what's most important to me is that /steer actually works. When I type something to Claude mid-task, it'll maybe acknowledge that within next few minutes, although it seems to be actually quicker last few days but still takes a minute or two, whereas Codex will almost instantly read it, switch what it's doing or answer me. It feels much more polished in some ways(though usage page in settings almost never loads for me).
I disagree. I needed a small text to json model that would parse basic info into a json, nothing else. I instantly knew to start with nano and if not good enough, use mini. This was obvious to me, just looking at the name. Now you have to actually know what those names mean. And I can guarantee you they'll add 5 more to create more hype, or make new names in whatever the next-gen-world-breaking-dangerous-model will be.
I have the same feeling. I'm even trying to argument to myself upgrading my phone to something newer that would support AI better but I genuinely can't. The only use case I could ever need is maybe(!) using it to fill up shopping list out loud but at this point it, using shared Google Keep it's roughly the same amount of work to just type it. In professional matter though, having an AI agent on Slack, that can query readonly dbs for us, check things, debug problems reported by our users, it's pretty great.
I work in crypto and this is happening practically every other day. I refuse anyone on LinkedIn that I don't know personally and has web3 or crypto anywhere in the description. It's all fake accounts with fake job offers. It's a pretty known scam.
Unless your job is purely producing code pointlessly, this is not a really good comparison. Most of the time really is spent on understanding the problem and figuring out solutions, not waiting on CPU.
How would getting rid of postinstall break patch-package? If people use a package, and that package needs some kind of step to get working, user of that package should decide when that step happens. He can very well just call patch before building on his own. There's zero issues with that approach and the upside is he actually has control.
I work in a monorepo where running install calls dozens of deeply nested postinstalls of some elaborate NextJs or React Native dependencies other projects use. It's borderline insane. Unless you regularly screen everything, it's impossible to know whether one of those is compromised, especially in the world of Node where is-even is being used and the sheer amount of crypto scams around.
postinstall scripts should've been removed long time ago, it's the cancer of NPM packages. There's so many deeply nested, uncontrolled postinstalls that run randomly when you pull something it's insane, I don't know how someone at some point ever though that was a good idea.
These laws only apply to megacorps. It's not an existential risk to them, as Apple is clearly proving now.
Who is saying that enforcing companies to open their systems to competition is making them mediocre? Maybe if that's the end result, they should put more time into designing systems that wouldn't become mediocre just by allowing third parties to do things with those said systems? We need to stop defending corporates for abusing their monopolies.
We use almost exclusively Valkey now, mostly because we host on AWS and Render, which both use Valkey. It's faster, cheaper and compatible. I'd consider Garnet too but I believe it doesn't support LUA(or didn't at the time we needed it).
I've used one of the flagship Surface Books two jobs ago, really beefy, could run Cyberpunk(don't ask how I know). Insanely bad machine, the overall finish was terrible, hinges broke often, charging port broke often(like every 3rd-4th person in the office), it overheated with basic office work, fans went rocket level loud when compiling basic things, after a while it was stuttering even with casual use. Had a really good Dell XPS at home too that was dying when compiling big Typescript codebase. I bought an MBP M3Pro 1.5y ago and I could never go back. It's insane how far ahead Apple is when it comes to performance. Noone seems to grasp that until they actually try to work on M-series. Three of my ex colleagues also switched to Macbooks after I told them, they also are never coming back.
My bet is they won't. It's hype driven development. I work in the space(we build one of the bigger exchanges based on Hyperliquid) and our design/product people are spasming at the thought of releasing MCP/Openclaw skill for trading. I'm 99% sure it will all be a flop, month from now noone will ever know these exist but this is what everyone in that space is doing right now, quite literally, everyone. Not a single sane person will give meaningful amount of money to LLM for actual trading.
