Read somewhere once that trading firms use satellite imagery of shipping to inform trading strategy. Don't know any more about it unfortunately but it sounds interesting.

What exactly abut MobX do you find too magical/implicit?

I wish I'd never used current-day React as well

Seems like "shooting down ideas" here is just "criticism of my idea whose framing hurts my feelings". If you want to light a fire with wet wood and cry because someone points that out, you probably lack the grit to execute anyway. Nobody owes you a sugarcoated explanation of the ways your idea is shit. Grow up.

Yeah it does. If you're happy routing your personal data through software that lacks an author who fully understands what the software does, good for you. Suggesting that this doesn't matter in general is.. not an opinion I'd share publicly.

Meh, 2026 edition of "developers vs coders vs engineers". It wasn't interesting before, it isn't now. People will do development at varying depths and breadths depending on their interest, role, project, and skill. For some reason, some people seem obsessed with this topic. "Coders don't care about CS fundamentals!", "engineers apply rigor"! Snore

Just finished looking at Ink here.. frontend world has no shame. Love the gloating about 40x less RAM as if that amount of memory for a text REPL even approaches defensible. "CC built CC" is not the flex people seem to suggest it is.

Frontend losers not realizing the turds they are releasing. An LLM client fits under netcat+echo+awk+jq runnable under a 486 if there's no SSL/TLS on its way, Pentium II could drive fast TLS connections like nothing and under 32MB of RAM with NetBSD for a simple terminal install, maybe with X and a simple WM with RXVT if you care.

Any loser is a "full stack software engineer" nowadays thanks to claude.

Indeed a sad state of affairs.

If you've just hired a dev who can't/won't read 80 lines of shell, you have bigger problems than GUI vs TUI.

>My competitive edge did not diminish, it expanded.

Reality check: LLMs are available to everyone, dev or otherwise, so your 'competitive edge' is indeed diminished if you believe LLMs are all that.

Of course it is generally available, but I can use it to get 50x gain whereas for others it maybe 3x or even negative.
