I was reading this and thinking about it too — sounds like author wants a tiling WM but with a friendlier UX?

I honestly don't get why they ignore existing options due to configs. Give it a try, maybe it won't be _that_ bad.


I think the author was saying that the UX has to be good for it to gain wide (non developer) adoption.

Most of the non developers I know don't want to write prose, let alone a .ini file


Sounds like the perfect use of an LLM.

Looks like a jab at Lovable.

Wonder what domain they're going to pick next. I feel like many LLM-dependent businesses are going to get sherlocked by OpenAI and Anthropic.


honest question what is the sherlock proof business/app/saas we can do as independent builders

hard out here hard for startups too


Personal relationships, trust and a preexisting audience are your moat, from now until the end of time, in every field.

If your business is just software… it might be cooked.

Idk about that, a company like Form3, Edenred etc are technically just software companies - but no one in their right mind is going to build a black box payment provider. Sure, if your business is wordpress websites, you're probably going to see a big downswing in new customers. But there is absolutely still going to be a place for highly specialised and security dependent software.

something with a real life physical component

something that solves a real problem for businesses, that you are uniquely positioned to execute on well. If you target the lowest common denominator, or consumers, or build something really quickly - good luck

Coding may have been solved, but uptime remains a mystery.

Unfortunately, not a mystery; it's management. As a syseng I can build you a 100% reliable system. But it'll fall to pieces when "Management" takes away our power to require change control, quality control, guardrails, rollbacks, performance testing, system limits, least privilege, etc. Any time you see a big company go down, it's because nobody was willing to enforce what's needed for reliability.

You can get away with a lack of rigor in software engineering (from both humans and AI agaents) because it's often cheap to try it and see. Once you get to operating the platform, it changes, and operational decisions need to be made carefully and code needs to be deployed carefully.

Oh no, you can pretty obviously just keep pushing out slop that only half works. Your customers will grumble and eat it like the peons your C suite thinks they are.

For whatever reasons, customers just buy trash nowadays, put up with trash, ignore horrifying contract terms, buy more trash, grumble about the trash, and then invest more in the trash.

It will be the death of us.


I've used some engineering programs that were appalingly buggy for any application, never mind how much they cost - but once you managed to fight through the bugs, they did the thing they were supposed to reliably, and you could trust the results.

This is not true for vibecoded stuff.


May I steal this quote as if it's mine? :bow:

It's on the internet now, inside the bellies of 1000 llms.

It's everyones.


Why do you need to say it's yours to use it? :p

You are trained now, it must be yours

Excuse me but you've distilled this comment from me

And I'd argue that human dignity shall be inviolable

Define dignity

I don't think they are, and given amount of votes on each — seems like so does the community.

Regarding Lenovo: it's the first laptop with AirJet, sure, but it's not the first computer in general. Zotac released a mini PC with the very same AirJet in 2023. It looks dope, but it's just not that interesting or new.

Regarding Brax: Braxman is a well-known scammer. The world would be a better place if nobody paid any attention to this person.


> not that interesting or new.

Its parameters are! That's the whole point! 830g with regular 30W TDP Lunar Lake is impressive.

> Braxman is a well-known scammer

Which is interesting as I didn't know that and seems like you're right. Still warrants some discussion around those products and even some ad-hominem?


If you expect a story about how this migration to native went from technical PoV, they've already shared this: https://shopify.engineering/shop-app-migration

It sounds pretty solid, so I wouldn't expect anything to change in just 6 months.


But you probably want to do something on your phone after unlocking it anyway? It's solved by conductive gloves during winter, sure. Other use cases remain problematic.


> All you really need are easy to replace batteries.

They are easy _enough_ to replace already. Is it as easy as 20 years ago? Surely not. It also seems reasonable that something you're going to be realistically doing once per 3-4 years would require 1 or 2 hours.

Moreover, the regulation doesn't affect this process, apart from "no proprietary tools".

> That’s the only part that will wear out within a reasonable lifecycle.

Millions of broken screens and back glass/plastic panels beg to differ.


Wow, this looks amazing!

I hope we can get a better suited hardware though. Larger buttons, smaller device overall. 4.7" sounds huge, almost size of a phone.


yes me too. i may be working on something...


TV is a client. If I remember correctly, it shouldn't transmit anything (unless connected) other than probe requests during active scanning.

Which could still be illegal, but I don't think anyone will realistically investigate a low-power device sending a few packets occasionally.


That depends what else is on the channel that is the reason for it not being available for wifi. In some places, it's a military radar and they will definitely investigate.
