You can have shit software in any language ✨

I have a novice programmer friend who created an app with authentication with AI. It used create-react-app (deprecated for years now) and had him roll his own OAuth layer manually with Express. When you refresh, you get logged out.

It’s an awesome project to learn some skills, but only a seasoned programmer would know to never roll your own auth, or to not use CRA, etc.

We are in for some interesting times.

what an evocative interpretation. great work

it turns out strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government

What HN client is this?

Many people write tests before writing code. This is common and called Test Driven Development. Having an AI bruteforce your unit tests is actually already the basis for a “programming language” that I saw on hackernews a week or so ago.

I despise most AI applications, and this is definitely one. However it’s not some foreign concept impossible in reality:

The Hacker News crowd uses this phrase every other sentence so it was almost humorous to see it used here. I thought this was a shitpost

I mean “didn’t care enough” == pay an entire separate dev team to develop for potentially each OS (at least windows probably) in languages unfamiliar to the web team. Then separately maintain that desktop app in perpetuity while the backend changes and drifts. This all for a vanishingly small subset of the userbase that could have used the website with identical functionality. It’s a similar issue with mobile apps.

I fully see the appeal of electron apps even if it’s not perfectly native feeling. I mean vscode is pretty universally liked n that’s electron. Also, it being a web app is a huge boon for anyone needing a code editor in browser.

Perhaps frameworks like Tauri will supplant electron soon enough for better performance and native feel.

Are you going to supply new information? Or just say it’s there with the proper “research”

Slightly Disappointed But Also Relieved You Don’t Type Like This Anymore Jaden

That’s true, but it devalues other labor which can be similarly/more difficult or skilled. I skimmed this article, but it seems to convey what I mean:

I understand what people mean when they say “skilled labor” and I don’t think it’s intended negatively normally fwiw

“Skilled labor” is such a bullshit concept

Why is React Native garbage?

Exactly what you think!

This is such a weird non sequitur – what?

This is the coolest thing I have ever heard

That’s how I react to those bubbles. It means any image I send is going to be compressed to shit and be utterly unrecognizable. Messages will sent out of order or not at all. Group chats are completely fucked.

I’m sure Apple shares a lot of the blame, but holy shit how is this not solved in 2024. I shouldn’t have to resort to spam filled shitware from Meta to get remotely modern messaging cross platform

Hope rcs pans out and soon

Just stopping by to say that I understood the obvious sarcasm/joke

Aren’t we all just disgusting, ephemeral creatures crawling around the surface of this fragile rock hurtling through an uncaring void? :)
