LLMs can do incredible things. This ain’t it though.

I have! But I don’t have the patience for spec driven development most of the time, even though I know it would help.

AWS has to contend with Google absolutely killing it with dev tools and libraries for AI workloads. AWS has traditionally struggled with making tools that developers actually want to use.

AWS might pull ahead in because of market share, but I’ll be surprised if they come out ahead in capabilities.

I feel like a lot of teams start loose and fast with Firestore and then find themselves in a pickle as soon as they start growing a team.

What fields does this collection have? Who knows, better iterate over every single item just to figure that out ☠️

No, the only answer is a strict contract

To suggest you can’t learn from something just because it’s not always 100% correct demonstrates an unfortunate character flaw.

I learn from my peers, but I don’t go expecting them to be know everything. Part of the learning process is discovering the correct answer together through trial and error

Windows Phone UI was inspired. And the colors of the Lumia series were amazing. I used to get so many comments on my cyan phone.

If Microsoft tries another handheld device, I hope they’re bold on UX again.

“I ain’t reading all that” as a service is actually useful though.
