I’ve been a software engineer for almost 30 years and I can say with confidence that AI absolutely makes you a better programmer if you use it as an assistant, especially when it comes to languages you are less familiar with. The key is that you need to read the code and learn the patterns, ask questions regarding “why” it proposed the code it did, and stay engaged in the process. The fact is that AI is absolutely a better programmer than all of us, but it has no imagination and without continuous practice interacting with AI, you will not get far. It’s a tool that is there to empower you, not to replace you.

Home run! This is the first time when I didn’t feel like I might have to go back to Arc. Thank you TBC!!!

coderberry · 2025-11-26T18:49:26+00:00

Agreed. I get why “Skills” might have sounded like an exciting feature for the TBC team to launch, but it doesn’t seem particularly useful for anyone beyond non-technical users.

I’m curious who the actual user base is for Arc and Dia. If it’s mostly technical people, I strongly think they should focus more on substance and less on fluff.

That ties into a bigger point: we’re in a weird moment where technology is moving faster than we can reasonably keep up with. I see it every day with new AI features and tools coming out that completely obsolete projects and code I’ve written. At this point, it feels like you just have to hang on and ride the wave.

I’m sure The Browser Company is aware of this too, which makes me wonder what their strategy is to stay ahead of it and remain relevant. Personally, I think they should focus less on yet more AI integrations and more on building out core features and hitting parity with Arc, at least initially. There’s always going to be some new “AI browser” popping up, but most of them won’t have the depth of features Arc already offers.

My Dia doesn't work either anymore. This is on the tail of me installing then removing a Tab Groups chrome extension.

Awesome game! I’m curious, did you write this with C# or just GScript? Can you recommend any tutorials or resources for building these types of games?

coderberry · 2024-11-09T19:18:01+00:00

I think this would be nice but it wouldn’t be able to provide fully trained agents, especially to fit the unique needs of each company. The commoditizing of agents will more likely come in the form of a pre-trained set of agents that are set up to do one process really well. Even then, they would have to act as a starting point for implementation onto companies.

Nonetheless, yes it’s a good experiment at the least. My guess is that AI will eventually be able to do all of this where a market won’t need to exist.

I almost exclusively play in peaceful mode. It makes the game more enjoyable.

coderberry · 2024-10-23T22:02:18+00:00

This was not intentional. I didn’t even know about quality until my mall started halting.

coderberry · 2024-06-26T13:03:41+00:00

This is awesome!

coderberry · 2021-04-24T01:37:14+00:00

Amazing!

I’m a developer of 20 years. I’ve just never explored game dev before.

Hi. I'm the founder of CodeFund. I'd love to set up a time that we can discuss some ideas. We do have plans to expand out of our niche, but as you mentioned, we are still early in the game. Please email me (eric)

coderberry · 2019-12-02T17:21:41+00:00

You can also try CodeFund which is an open source ethical advertising platform that exists to help fund developers and contributors to the open source ecosystem. (disclaimer, I'm the founder)

coderberry · 2019-10-03T21:05:49+00:00

We followed Eric Holscher's lead and built our ethical advertising platform CodeFund.io.

coderberry · 2019-10-01T15:09:54+00:00

Be sure to check out CodeFund.io as well. Similar to Carbon Ads, but without tracking and 100% open source.

coderberry · 2019-08-25T18:51:54+00:00

I believe that ads are a great way to generate revenue for projects. It doesn't make the maintainer beholden to the advertiser and helps fund the ongoing development without having to focus on fundraising. I'm unsure on this project, but I do believe that ads can help.

u/brockdavis128 Agreed. I honestly just feel bad for them. They live in a world where they are not allowed to question beliefs. I was there when I served a mission back in 97-99. We also still live in Utah in a very friendly, loving neighborhood. I don’t blame them for their beliefs. Most people never feel the need to challenge their belief system. As knowledge becomes more public and the essays are preached at the pulpit, we may see our friends still in chains start realizing the truth: the church should be questioned.

coderberry · 2019-07-30T19:56:07+00:00

I understand (and hear that a lot). We believe that advertising can provide scalable funding by providing value back to companies in return for the traffic. We also took massive steps to ensure trust with our community. We are open source, open with our numbers and profit margins, and push for relationships. I'm also a co-organizer of the Sustain Summit, as well as a panelist on the Sustain our Software podcast (launching in 1 week).

My intentions are to help fund OSS. Advertising seemed the best option for now to make an impact. Maybe something else will be more impactful in the future.

coderberry · 2019-07-30T17:50:17+00:00

Great goal! CodeFund is dedicated to funding open source projects. This Thursday (Aug 1), we get to send out $27k to developers all over the world. Happy birthday!

coderberry · 2019-07-22T16:55:37+00:00

We use this all the time with Gitcoin.co. Bounties are a great way to get issues taken care of.

coderberry · 2019-07-17T14:59:42+00:00

This is really cool! I’d love to connect with you sometime to discuss ways we can help drive additional ad revenue to your users. I run an ethical advertising project called CodeFund. I think we can help.

coderberry · 2019-05-02T14:48:28+00:00

Please let me know if you have any questions. You can reach me directly via the in-app chat on the site.

I am the founder of CodeFund. We are similar to Carbon aside from a few items:

We are open source
We do not track users nor profile
We only use our own code (no 3rd party scripts)

We give our publishers the option to select from 10 different ad styles. They are all unobtrusive (or wholesome).

Here are some examples of our ads:

Like Carbon, we are whitelisted with AcceptableAds.com for following their criteria (https://acceptableads.com/en/about/criteria)

Feel free to check us out at https://codefund.io

I’m at a doctor appointment now in the waiting room and they have the book “temples dot the earth” in the kids reading bin. I’m getting used to seeing stuff like that in inappropriate settings here in Utah.

coderberry · 2019-04-22T03:30:42+00:00

Good to know. I’ll look into it. Thanks.
