Another example is a large number of libraries using an external dependency to check if a number is odd.

This story got me sad. But also, the guy should know better as not to dedicate all of his time on that. This article talk a bit about this issue.

Node frameworks are famous for this purely because of a lack of standard library. I feel like most languages have a standard library that balance being generic but still providing utilities of common used stuff. So a company that doesn’t want to rely on a random guy’s library can build their own with only the features they want. But with Node, any complicated feature is using a tree of hundreds of random packages that you have no idea who created them.

That doesn’t seem politics to me, but empathy. Approaching people without considering their moods and feelings is a recipe to be badly interpreted (specially given the ambiguities in human interaction).

I like how monorepo is at the bottom.

Makes me wonder if there is any policy in instances against bots, as they’ll drive up traffic, which is already a problem.

This is awesome, reminds me of that article about memory which was also interactive: https://samwho.dev/memory-allocation/

You’re right, and I also think the problem Lemmy needs to solve is more of a “think smarter about how to optimize information being shared among instances” than throwing Rust at the problem 😆

if I have writer’s block, I just let them pump out something wrong since it’s easier to critique a blob of text than a blank page.

Yeah I mentioned this before while taking to a friend about it. Humans are much better at editing than coming up with stuff from scratch, so seeing the suggestion sometimes is helpful even if it’s wrong.

I don’t use it that much for programming in the project directly, but sometimes to ask for input about ideas I have and pros/cons and follow up questions.

But just this week I used ChatGPT to help me write some git hooks I didn’t know were possible.

I was thinking that one effect copilot-like tools will have in projects is more comments describing the code. Because copilot can both help with the code if you document it well as it can document code well with descriptions and their parameters.

What kind of issues?
