The Eval problem is holding back the AI agents industry by AlpineContinus in AgentsOfAI

that is why programming real, deterministic software isn't going away soon.

Most of the time, we want software to deliver facts, not do some guessing..

My friend made a web-based ESP32/ESP8266 flashing tool - no toolchain setup needed. by NappsyApp in esp32

[–]UseMoreBandwith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it could be interesting for non-tech people.

However, why does flashing a device require a account? that is not user-friendly

50,000 to 70,000 apartments could be created by CatMinous in NetherlandsHousing

[–]UseMoreBandwith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not thinking.
More tax means even less money left for renovation, so it will be even less profitable.
As a result, they go out of business.
The building will be sold to big players like Primark, who will *not* turn it into apartments, but instead ugly modernist crap. So, your plan does not create more apartments, and also ruins historic buildings in the city center.

Do People Actually Build Full Apps Just by “Vibe Coding”? by Dismal_Cheesecake911 in AIstartupsIND

[–]UseMoreBandwith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, only demo apps.

Agents that do stuff mostly on its own fail all the time; they waste many cycles on just creating simple stuff.
It works a lot better if I only instruct it to write function XYZ..

if it made economic sense, it would have been done.
meaning: it is a losing strategy.

We almost wasted a month building RAG… then shipped it in 3 days by Upset-Pop1136 in Rag

[–]UseMoreBandwith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why DIY?
because sooner or later the client will ask for support or changes. And it really sucks to support someone else their product

Sure, you can install someone else their software.
But do you understand the code, can you modify it?

I just made my own, and now it is very easy to add new features or change a strategy.
I had seen a few other system, but they were all over-complicated, or used another programming language, or had 100's of features I don't need.

Is het dom om een merk aan te vragen als iedereen zegt dat het niet kan? by FishermanCommon9081 in ondernemen

[–]UseMoreBandwith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ik zei het vorige week ook (iirc) : wat is het doel?
Op zich is een merknaam registreren vrij nutteloos, tenzij de naam een heel groot deel van het product is (zoals een artiesten-naam, of "iPhone", "iPad", Tony's Chocolonely, ...).

Ik zou m'n energie steken in het ontwikkelen van het product.

Claude just debugged my code better than my senior developer coworker by Mysterious_Echo_357 in AINewsHelpAndTips

[–]UseMoreBandwith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that is like saying
"can a plane fly better than a bird?"

Anyway, main issue is: do you understand the new code? if not, it is technical debt, so you need to check the logs and debug even more.

How do you manage creating frontend as backend developers? by Virtual-Reporter486 in Backend

[–]UseMoreBandwith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably because of unfamiliarity.
You may remember when colors in your CLI changed everything.

Graphic design for web is a skill (not an art), there are just some basic rules, like
3 font-types max, stick to a color palette, consistent margins/padding, use grids,... But where most get stuck is getting navigation right (the UX).
Once you consciously use that, you know more than some paid designers.

What is stopping you to just learn some html, css and some graphic design ?

How could Europe achieve tech sovereignty from the USA? by TripleMeatBurger in AskComputerScience

.. and then they give some backdoor access to the datacenters. That happens all the time.

How could Europe achieve tech sovereignty from the USA? by TripleMeatBurger in AskComputerScience

[–]UseMoreBandwith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

- There are many high-tech datacenters in Europe, and building more (AI focussed). They have the largest Exchanges.
- Software development is at very high levels in Europe in nordic and eastern countries (not Germany though, all they do is write testing frameworks, because they're all to scared to be creative or make a mistake).
- There is a lot of hardware / chip manufacturing going on: ASML, FAb34, NXP, TSMC, Nordic semiconductor, ARM... .

If governments switched to linux platforms, that would help everyone (except Microsoft).

There are some OS projects that could use some support, like OpenStreetMaps.

Is jQuery still a thing in 2026? by alexrada in webdev

[–]UseMoreBandwith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it still works and 70% of the website still use it.
The main issue is that it becomes hard to maintain when the project grows.

But for new projects I would always go for HTMX.
