Strange how many people are comparing code to art. Software engineering has never been about the code written, it’s about solving problems with software. With AI we can solve more problems with software. I have been writing code for 25 years, I love using AI. It allows me to get to the point faster.
The author is right, eliminating all this framework cruft will be a boon for building great software. I was a skeptic but it seems obvious now its largely going to be an improvement.
I ran linux for 15 years on a range of different machines. Desktop the most successfully. For laptops I tried everything but once I switched to a mac I’ve never gone back. The hardware is at least twice as good as any other laptop.
I’ve seen framework getting a lot of mind share recently. Especially with DHH singing their praises. I have come to loathe apple software over the years but can’t get over terrible build quality.
I thought framework was supposed to be the premium linux option but after reading this it looks same quality as all those windows turned linux machines.
Depressing how many comments are supporting this practice. The point is tests are supposed to be hard and fair. Everyone gets the same amount of time, same preparation for a presentation. Then you are judged based on your ability, preparation and skill. Pressure leads to growth, competition to effort. I hate this new world where we bend over backwards to make everything “fair”.
Look Bun is a great product but something hilarious about the company that is “going to replace all software developers with AI” BUYING software. You are building a product that is supposed to make software cost 0 right? Why wouldn’t you just “vibe” code yourself Bun?
Those aren't your customers. The people that want to build things with bun are. The problem with people who already know how to code is that they have opinions if they actually read the generated code. If you sell to people who don't (for whatever reason), you face less criticism.
I guess I’m so old that I remember time without autocomplete. Where programmers just knew what functions existed and how to use them. Usually by looking them up in a manual and then -gasp- remembering them. Languages shouldn’t be optimized for laziness or not using your brain.
Stair steps could be 450 mm high and work, but building codes make them 200 mm for a reason. And you are not "better" by saying that "I am fit enough to climb 450 mm steps, and you are all lazy for wanting stairs built to ergonomic standards".
I advise checking out the users other comments before jumping to conclusions. Doesn't look AI generated to me, rather just an "individual" writing style. Only because it's possible doesn't mean its true. Maybe user can confirm?
Otherwise just downvote or flag I guess, but this comment of yours just reads as an insult to a person that maybe did not put the most effort into writing their comment, but seems genuine to me at least.
this is cool but acting like this is some insane usage is funniest part for me. emacs and 100 other tools can do this easily and have been doing it for 30 years
