Hmm, Rails, I wonder if the UI will work well.

I open https://railsui.com/components.

I click on the different components. They switch to a random component after a while.

My confidence in Rails for UI stays were it was :)

It's switching components every 8 seconds, like a carousel. It's a bit unfair to judge Rails UI by that, but I agree, it's not a good first impression.

What's a better play? Drop the carousel? Open to ideas!

Either drop the carousel or make it much, much more obvious that there's an animation going on.

There doesn’t seem to be any relationship between Handmade and “not using LLMs” (besides one that can be argued if you believe LLM-aided software is worse in size or performance).

I would imagine, or rather hope, that "hand made" is not entirely just a metaphor for the people supporting Handmade network.

Okay.. so what’s the point?

What’s up with the Zizkovska tower highlight?

The original submission addresses this point fairly well.

(No, but you can use AI to get around that)

For comparison, I remember doing 250 PRs in 2.5 months of my internship at FB (working on a fullstack web app). So that’s 2-4x faster. What’s interesting is that it’s Boris, not an intern (although the LLM can play an intern well).

At the very least I think what matters here is the process. The same exact process could be implemented via, for example, issue labels. It would not be hard for maintainers to search for issues with label "bug", which only maintainers can assign. There are clear UX tradeoffs between the two approaches.

There are differences, but this is oversimplified, and market is “mostly” working. You need more money in California, for transportation, for health care. The standard is bigger houses (bigger everything) in Cali. Life might be richer, in some ways more pleasant, in London (it’s not weather though), including shorter flights to many interesting places.

From my experience the ratio of savings was similar, but the ppp of course favored US for absolute numbers.

He’s writing about China and US. Sure, you can call Europe more diverse, but still it makes sense to draw some generalizations, and I don’t think he’s far from the mark (having myself lived in EU, UK and US).

I already grew up in a middle class family, but I had a fellow intern at FB whose father used to smuggle furs into Soviet Russia. I really loved that juxtaposition. Nothing new under the sun, but knowing him personally it hit me more :)

I once (>20 years ago) had luch with our sales representative in ... was it Malaysia or the Philippines? In his custom made blue suit, he told me in perfect Oxford English how his grand father had to kill several fighters from enemy villages in order to be allowed to marry his grand mother...

I don't know how exagerated that was, but yes sometimes things go fast:)

I think that’s the beauty of storytelling—it turns 'nothing new under the sun' into something deeply personal and hit us differently.Thank you for sharing that connection， it makes the world feel a lot smaller.

This is important and should be a given. But the more interesting challenge is to highlight the object you’re editing (where your cursor is). It’s not clear even how to exactly visualize it (it could be inside subtract of union of subtract etc).

It moves or grows or whatever. What other indication you want?

I have not yet invented any other improvement.

I tried decimal points, but that was stupid, you just add "/100" if you want micrometer accuracy.

If you're subtracting cube A from cube B, and you position cube A such that there's no overlap between the cubes, you can't even see cube A. But you can imagine that when I place my cursor in an editor onto the code that generates cube A, that it could be rendered (say transparent), to indicate where it is. You can then more easily position it. Otherwise you have to explicitly render it yourself, or switch between difference and union operators.
