Zero examples of portfolios on the site. Looks like an AI-generated site with default Bolt or v0 styles. No idea why anyone would use this and not just any of the million other options.
But you're expecting all that feedback surely. So what's the rebuttal? Why would anyone want to use this when they can just use v0 to spin up a site in seconds, or Jekyll or Ghost or list goes on?
Fair take although it wasn't generated by AI. This is for people who don’t want to build a site — just a clean, fast portfolio that’s ready out of the box. Opinionated design, zero setup, hosted — paste your work, hit publish, done. Live examples coming soon. Genuinely appreciate the feedback though.
Was going to ask a similar question. Where in the experience of Cursor do you feel like you're losing some of the agency of solving the harder problems, or is this something you take in mind while using it?
I’ve “only” been coding for 20 years, but it’s the tedious problems, not the actually technically hard problems that cursor solves. I don’t need to debug 5 edge cases any more to feel like I’ve truly done the work, I know I can do that, it’s just time spent. Cursor helps me get the boring and repetitive work out of coding. Now, don’t get me wrong, there was a time where I loved building something lower level line by line, but nowadays it’s very often a “been there, done that” type of thing for me.
If I need an RNG rolled to a standard distribution, I can either spend 5 minutes looking it up, learning how to import and use a library, and adding it to my code, or I can tell Cursor to do it for me.
Crap like that, 100 times a day.
"Walk through this array and pull out every element without an index field and add it to a new array called needsToBeIndexed, send them off to the indexing service, and log any failures to the log file as shown in the function above".
Cursor lets me think closer to the level of architecting software.
Sure having a deep knowledge of my language of choices is fun, and very needed at times, but for the 40% or so of code that is boring work of moving data around, Cursor helps a lot.
nah we use asciidoc for this. worked next to the guy who invented it back in the day. another team at our company used to to make topic-based authoring the CMS standard. been doing this fine for years now and even the writers seem happy (super rare for tech writers innit)
What does this do that all the other Hugo docs templates don't do?
The "Showcase" section just shows a bunch of non-docs stuff. Why would I use this instead of readthedocs, gitbook, docasaurus, or any of the million others?
which other hugo docs? i am looking for some good hugo docs and all of them are either ugly or don't implement landing+blog which would require additional effort from user for that functionality. Only good ones are this theme lotusdocs and hashnode.
Whoa. This was way more impressive than I expected! And now I'm learning about Kirigami (and hoping my ancestors forgive me for not knowing this already).
The scary thing is how many IBM "experts" from the quantum computing teams fled to quantum startups. I interviewed with some after interning at a FAANG, and as a female in tech with family members who have run tech companies, I like to think my BS radar is pretty good.
It went off constantly with a certain "type" of "startup executive", and I noticed they were all former IBM or Intel. I'm not a negative person but found them all to be visibly political, all sounded like that didn't actually do anything really real, and talked a big game that the company outputs didn't seem to match.
I guess they are costing the quantum startups (aka VCs) a lot of money for very little actual work. This is just my observation and just my experience but I'm keeping tabs because it will be interesting to see how many quantum startups fail over the next few years, and which were run by IBM execs. I have my hypotheses ready.
I’ve seen these types, and their cousins at Accenture, etc move into non-tech sectors as CIOs, CTOs and other leadership positions only to wreck the place in 2-3 years. They’ll quickly fill the upper ranks with their kind and before you know it everyone is fighting for rank, scope, and head count. No one is competent enough to lead large scale technical projects or transformations; technical capabilities will erode and then frozen as operations are outsourced.
