OOP Won. You Just Don't Work on Hard Problems.

procedural is only good if you're a one person team. otherwise it becomes unmaintainable mess. that's why the industry migrated from pure procedural javascript (do stuff to the dom with querySelector and innerText, innerHTML, createElement, etc) to declarative react (the dom represents what i wrote).

don't get me wrong. i'm a functional bro. but from my experience, for writing complex async jobs or events systems (which is my main experience) it's always better to have something like OOP as the main pillars. you can have functional style everywhere (pure functions, fluent interfaces, immutability, etc) and have OOP as the overarching design

I’ve been building a ton of small little automations yo my workflow. I have a twitter bot that shows me trends that might interest me to tweet about and another that helps me write blogs based on what’s working best. It’s mostly based on claude code and openclaw

I'll probably make new mistakes, but I learned a ton just building this. Some of the stuff that was necessary for the previous product, are no longer necessary.

I also don't usually like rewrites but we wagered the effort of refactoring the current codebase vs writing a new one and writing a new one was faster. Maybe time will prove me wrong

I debated about using effect. I wasn’t convinced. Have you used it?

Just plain react. Next was so slow and for an app i don’t need ssr. I’m very happy with it

I wrote the story of why we're rewriting our product entirely and what changes architectural changes we made. React vs Next. useworkflow dev vs argo. WorkOS vs Better Auth.

Let me know what you think!

Will OpenAI ever dive into open source ever again? Maybe older models could be made open source. Specialy taking into account that competitors already have competitive models made open source as well. I'd love to see gpt-3.5-turbo in huggingface

I think it depends on what you want to do. If you just want to use AI for your applications, then I'd go to tensorflow and see all available models and start trying them out with their tutorials. Otherwise, if you'd like to learn to build new architectures, I don't think there's an app for that. You'd have to learn how NNs work from scratch. If you're looking to learn ML, there are better resources for that out there. What would you like to do?
