the quoted comment is arguing that devops will never be promptable — putting aside the discussion about whether or not that's true today, the argument here is that it's not likely to _never_ be possible
The advantage of TUIs is that you get a low-fidelity browser UI that doesn’t need to be exposed to the internet, that can be run remotely via SSH, which doesn’t ship you megabytes of JavaScript, and which works equally well on everyone’s machine
> > which doesn’t ship you megabytes of JavaScript

OK but as soon as some moron with a Product Manager title gets their grubby little fingers on it the app does start shipping megabytes of JS in practice. TUI's can't, that's the advantage.
Agreed that it’s all about context — but my experience is that pasting into web chat allows me to manage context much more than if I drop the whole project/whole filesystem into context. With the latter approach the results tend to be hit-and-miss as the model tries to guess what’s right. All about context!
Reader seems to be broken on iOS Safari—after the first few paragraphs sentences start repeating 8 or so times in a row
Plus the longer paragraphs, confined to the height of their parent image, are cut off on my iPhone mini, leading to sections reading e.g.:
> controls with GUIs—graphical user interfaces. We skeumorphed the heck out of our screens, with digital switches, flat sliders, and folder icons. But we kept some of the the functionality in the physical world, with slots to stick disks into and big
...and about twice what it was 50 years ago. How have Sweden, Japan, France, etc. managed to keep income inequality around postwar lows while America hasn't?
Not sure, but it seems in France the situation in degrading. The same 1% being richer while workers / students waiting in line for food charity stories were common. Part of it might be due to COVID, but I can't shake the feeling that business management (influenced by anglo-saxon/american culture) is harder than before and squeezes employees. Not only a feeling, I worked on precarious jobs that shouldn't exist, and we saw employees having materially impossible daily duties (due to bad software unable to organize things).
I suspect that people self-manage a lot more if the pay is right. If they stop doing that it seems like you need a more expensive manager, or perhaps you do.
well partly but my comment was more systemic, a lot of "new management" was about naive quantitative approaches. measure stupid traces / outputs and forcing people to hit target objectives without looking at the workflow, tooling and team dynamics
people with enough skill and compatible mindsets need no management, they care, they will innovate, improve, repair
if the structure is at odds with that, they will ask to compensate the pain by large salary bumps because pleasure is turned into pain
I suspect that the parent poster is morally opposed to them as well, even if they don’t regularly make baseless claims on platforms they bought to make baseless claims on
Commentary on stuff I find online, public-facing journal at irregular intervals, collection of book reviews. Skews web-dev. I’m trying to use it as an archive of what I’ve been thinking about recently—the idea is that the primary audience is me, but 5 years from now.
This isn’t a mass consumer device. $3500 is what Apple’s charging to folks with great ideas who want to dictate what the future of “special computing” looks like. This is for early adopters pretty much exclusively.
The rest of us will get the apple vision se in 2028 when the territory’s been mapped out
It’s one thing to say that you’ll keep the data private between you, but from the user’s perspective there’s no guarantee. Whether that’s because you change your mind and decide to sell the user’s data, or there’s some sorta data breach, or or or.
