The AI generated components of a large codebase are now the hardest to debug.

You know it’s bad when even “DEI”, can’t provide enough cover for a bigot.

Perplexity’s Deepseek prompting combined with retrieval augmentation is impressive. My direct ones not so much. Here’s an example:

Perhaps I’m one of the few that think this is one of the things he’s actually honest about and niggles at him.

Tragedy of the commons

Deepseek’s arrival provokes so many questions about this industry highlighting the fact that the emperor has no clothes. It is truly an existential moment for incumbent A.I. companies

Bad UX is a crime! I'd add security too as a reason for switching. Most banking apps offer sms/voice as the only second factors.

The flutter core adds about 4mb while the react native one adds 8mb to an app at a minimum.

Google’s flagship apps are completely native with Kotlin, Java, Swift & Objective C which makes them much faster and secure than any cross platform framework ever could be.

I imagine large companies commit to React Native for the same reason I did. Mature libraries and I could find and hire engineers. But for the last reason I’d go with Flutter. Dart is both type safe and much much faster than JavaScript.

The selection of non-alcoholic drinks now vs before the pandemic is astounding, with terms like nootropics and adaptogens entering the lexicon.

RTO mandates are about control rather than productivity and right now higher unemployment strengthens employers leverage. They do it because they can.

While BYD has achieved scale, the quality of the software is highly questionable (custom Android). That you can sideload apps into their system tells you everything you need to know.

That we've been wrongly shrink wrapping dinosaurs and that they shrank and became birds is mind blowing.
