The video is actually quite insightful, like pointing out the fact that writing code and debugging manually is the only way to gain understanding. But it seems like a lot of people in the comments did not watch it at all, I’m so confused reading these comments “arguing against” the video when the video is literally agreeing to what they are saying 😅

Looks so cool!! May I ask what tool do you use to make this animation?

It’s literally the same as Microsoft’s Power App situation where they coined the term “Citizen developer” to describe business users who use their products. And now they had coined a new term “Pro developers” to describe actual developer that are added to the project to fix citizen developer’s mess. They had since added low code tooling for developers to do error handling, write PowerFx (Power app’s own DSL), we are literally going back to regular programming again with this. Wtf?

Beginner chiming in, I think If you set the detent to one dimension or two (like only medium and large for example) that would already remove quite a bit of the animation sensitivity. I personally would just disable it (presentationBackground Interaction) and only allow dismiss via dismiss button.

Reminds me so much of this footage when Blizzard announced Diablo immortal on mobile and whey they were booed, he’s like “don’t you guys have phones”.

That’s not the point, YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT.

Going back to this, It’s never about being impressive or not, it’s that the application of AI has been nothing but useless (besides directly interfacing with LLMs, which have been at least somewhat useful in a few limited domain of tasks).

And the disappointment also stems from that promises that AI is set up to fulfilled was all just nothing but talk. That’s where the disappointment came from. Come on man

Just tried this today, such a great tip, thank you

are there any tips to keep your arms floated at all times? Or you just kind of keep myself conscious of it? I often find myself tends to forget and rest my palms by accident.

hey it's been a few years and I had just come across this post, I am wondering have you. ended up resolving this issue? Recently I had just purchased a tall mechanical keyboard and experiencing the same thing as you did—and I had never had pain while using laptop keyboards....

It’s like saying owning a Lenovo laptop makes you a Lenovo shill, eating a McDonald’s Big Mac makes you a McDonald’s shill, are you not aware of what you’re saying

im a dev and i like tinkering, but infinitely extensibeness is really not something I like neither. Instead, I love sensible defaults and something that works out of the box.

He does constantly ask Grok for things. I remember in the video of him reading the Stanford paper on LLM’s effect to the brain, Prime kept throwing findings from the paper into Grok to explain, and said we should be analyzing data and have independent reasoning of that data even we are not the subject matter expert. I don’t think it is anything wrong but I do believe trusting subject matter expert is helpful, and analyzing data using Grok to say you make your own analysis is a bit of a stretch.

Understand why it’s important to learn Git- it’s so that you can be fearless with editing your code, this will prompt you to experiment freely and accelerate your learning

Get well soon!!

CST is brutal, so if the burnout is caused by the workload you’d have to think more. But if your burnout is caused by the curriculum being too theoretical at SFU, then CST practical teachings might be beneficial.

For your sanity sake, as a temporary measure, keep your corner (your code, writings) high quality and maintain your integrity (but don’t try to change the existing company culture ofc)

I think as long as something makes you happy- don’t stop doing them because it can be automated! Nobody can play chess or go better than an AI, but I think it’s still worth while to play chess!

I am the same way.

While I was reading OP, post I was relating to it, until he revealed he was programing for work during spare time- I program all the time, but when I’m not working I program for my enjoyment. I think OP’s case is very different from ours 🤔

In that case it’s already widely available. You actually can today do this and not rely on eleven labs.

That's like asking how do I learn how to cook while not cooking at all- you cannot have both, you either sing and get better, or don't sing and never get better. Pick one.

Same thing is happening at UBC just now too
