It was around how Hotwire breaks down its responsibilibies amongst the sub projects (turbo, stimulus, etc...) wasn't clear from the docs but I've got it figured out now

it's an interesting time, clearly the market is telling us that software devs are too expensive for many tasks but then they can only go so far and cannot achieve their goals without. However, the huge gap in cost between vibe coding and human coding is introduce massive sticker shock

They want to pay far far less

It makes sense, the market is responding to the reality of this stuff.

For every great dev out there able to demonstrate high value and quality of AI codegen, there's 100 non-devs just flooding the world with this shit.

We've recently seen many clients coming to @dockyard.com
that "need assistance finishing their app". Nearly every time it is some AI slop generated app that's looks to be a nightmare to build on top of.

Hey bksy, I’m on the look out for my next project, I’m an experienced Elixir dev (> 8 years commercially, and > 10 years of Ruby before that + I'm still the maintainer of RSpec), very familiar with Phoenix and LiveView, and have enough CSS / JS knowledge to approach projects from a full stack angle.

Do I have any Rails devs still in my orbit that I can ask some Hotwire questions?

Brian Cardarella @bcardarella.bsky.social · 4d

you should try dropping one of these in the grass while rigging a boat

Brian Cardarella @bcardarella.bsky.social · 4d

Maybe right above the group?

Brian Cardarella @bcardarella.bsky.social · 4d

Not sure about the 5th

Recompilation times are fast but the initial compile time was slow because we have to build a list of allowed modifiers at comptime. This the unfortunate reality of working within a closed-source framework like SwiftUI.

I was being sarcastic as to their perceived value. Not an awesome sign if people are dumping stock but may e OpenAI doesn’t want to pay salary increases

Value?

On the other hand, I'm perfectly fine letting the private equity vultures to pick EA apart.

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · 11d

My colleagues at Bloomberg report that the $20 billion debt in the EA deal is expected to be rated single-B — meaning it is considered a "junk" loan, or one that is high-risk and speculative, typically offering high interest rates. Which the new EA will have to pay

This guy just keep on creating amazing videos about Elixir

Calling multiple services doesn't have to be a nightmare.

My latest video explores Reactor for workflow orchestration. Concurrent execution, automatic rollbacks on failure, and of course: it works with Ash AI.
