On: The Last Generation to Read Source Code

[gbourne1]

It might go that way - skip the higher level languages or an AI fit to purpose language. Right now we want to have a comfort feeling for being able to read the code if we need to. I would love to see a study of a year ago the percentage of code reviewed vs today’s AI generated code

For a reprint from a newspaper there seems to be a lot of spelling mistakes…rally.

Perhaps they used OCR on the newspaper to generate the text.

Closure is awesome, but I wouldn’t define it as niche.

I’m listening to Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson right now, read by them. They are fantastic.

I am listening to The Path of Kings, I was put off by the length at first, but now I can't put it down. They are such good narrators.

Canny.io doesn’t have a free tier for bootstrapping.

I didn’t realize it until now. Thank you.

On: Show HN: Open – Free React landing page template

[gbourne1]

First off, thank you for building and sharing with the community. I have built a few landing pages with React and always end up regretting because you always need a React developer to maintain. I think best to build the landing pages (about, homepage, faq, etc) in something a non tech person can use like Wordpress or at least Hugo (markdown). You don’t need to bring in a React developer when you want to add a new marketing section to the homepage.
