On: Show HN: Encore – Type-safe back end framework that generates infra from code

[stmblast]

the type-safe infrastructure primitives are interesting, curious how it compares to something like effect or nestjs for actual production use

[andout_ → stmblast]

Different scope. NestJS organizes app code, Effect does functional composition - both still need separate infra tooling. Encore handles services + infrastructure + deployment as one thing. You could use Effect/NestJS patterns inside Encore apps though. Happy to answer specifics!

On: Ask HN: How are you finding the job market in July 2024?

[stmblast]

I have to say, looking at the jobs recently for where I am in the UK it does not seem to have picked up where I am either. Luckily, remote jobs exist.

On: Ask HN: So.. what's next after LLMs?

[stmblast]

Probably LMMs (Large Multimodal Models) maybe?

I am not entirely sure if this'll be the future, but having one model that has relatively good performance over a huge range of types of data feels pretty good tbh

Would be cool to see a blog post on how you wrote the website.

Awesome article! Bookmarked.

[stmblast]

I highly doubt it considering the breakthroughs made by Sora.

Well it looks like I have my excuse to buy a Flipper Zero now

This is a great article.

I think it's difficult to not be addicted with how much simple content there is out there that's easy to digest. TikTok, YT shorts and Instagram reels are pretty good examples of this.

On: AI does not care about us

[stmblast]

It seems that in this case it's still corporate entities doing crappy things, once again. Except it's using AI.

to lower the costs and increase the reliability... of doing crappy things
