I am not parent comment, and I'm also not in favour of restrictions for all/most people in the name of "the kids" for all the reasons covered in this debate. Invasive age verification feels even worse.
But I gotta tell I am not looking forward to deciding which is worse when my little kids grow up and I either have to:
- let them use TikTok (or whatever it is by then) and suffer what I know to be an insidious poison
- make them be on the outside of the circle and suffer exclusion by their peers because they don't get any of the memes
I've been the only kid in class without the new 18-rated Call of Duty game, or indeed a games console to play it on. At the time, it sucked. In retrospect I totally agree with my parents, young children should not be playing games about shooting each other! (Of course other parents may disagree)
CoD was only the new hotness once every couple of years. TikTok can make something the new hotness every week.
My only real hope to escape this dilemma is that enough other parents in my cohorts realise how poisonous TT is and the problem goes away... I can't say I'm optimistic.
and once you've got your wish: ugly code without tests or a way to comprehend it, but cheap!
How much value are you going to be able to extract over its lifetime once your customers want to see some additional features or improvements?
How much expensive maintenance burden are you incurring once any change (human or LLM generated) is likely to introduce bugs you have no better way of identifying than shipping to your paying customers?
Maybe LLM+tooling is going to get there with producing a comprehensible and well tested system but my anectodal experience is not promising. I find that AI is great until you hit its limit on a topic and then it will merrily generate tokens in a loop suggesting the same won't-work-fix forever.
I know there are other solutions to this particular problem but this model is extremely easy to reason about. When the application accesses tenant objects or delegates that access with pre-signed URLs it is doing so with ephemeral credentials that literally could not access the objects in another tenancy.
That and a similar DB isolation, allows most of our handlers to be very simple as far as tenant isolation goes.
We were saved by the bell when they announced the increased account limit for S3 buckets (1M buckets, now, 1k I think before).
Just before they announced that I was working on creating org accounts specifically to contain S3 buckets and then permitting the primary app to use those accounts just for their bucket allocation.
AWS themselves recommend an account per developer, IIRC.
It's as you say, some policy or limitation might require lots of accounts and lots of accounts can be pretty challenging to manage.
I'd love to get a cargo bike and use it for kid transport.
I would be worried about collision safety though, I am not going to persuade everyone in my neighborhood to stop using cars in a hurry and there are not bike routes between me and school, library, shops, ...
> It’s common to rack up 4 hours or more of screen time a day on your phone. Here’s one way to see the cost of that: every 20 years, you lose 5 years of your waking time looking at your phone.
If you spend 4 hours/24 hours on your phone then every 20X you'll have lost 3.33... X.
I think the author is using year and waking-years but it doesn't parse well for me because you don't get close to 20 waking-years for every 20 years.
Is it? I remain unconvinced AI will replace Devs in the foreseeable but I don't think this article is passing comment one way or the other.
The way I read it TFA is claiming that the Devs who built the Natascha AI suite did solid work.
Contrary to prior reporting there really was an LLM based product at Builder in addition to their earlier business of a large pool of contractors cranking out apps on demand.
