No paywall bypass link?

Anyone who is familiar enough with archive.ph links to expect them to be posted knows enough to just use the archive themselves

Better yet: do not submit paywalled links.

I'd argue using AI is the epitome of laziness, at least in some sense.

If you buy that, then it follows that the more work you accomplish with AI, the "lazier" of a dev you are.

You don't just delete stuff… it's more that your pull requests remove more lines than they add. But I'm sure the person you're replying to is exaggerating, or they got promoted because of completely unrelated reasons.

It’s pretty common for me to deliver a feature while removing more lines than I added in React. Just so many useless useEffects and states and divs. The caveat is I have to be allowed to refactor related code.

I find it’s less common for me in ruby, even refactoring bad ruby. Sure I can remove lines but bad JS/React balloons so fast.

My current org values this and my direct boss constantly praises those of us that try to remove more lines than we add. Very refreshing.

I swear this is like the fifth time I've seen something like this on HN!

Is this a "everyone feels the need to reinvent the wheel" thing, or is it a "junior dev gets excited by an idea, builds an implementation ... and then realizes there are inherent flaws in the approach, and gives up ... until the next junior learns about the idea and ..."?

Really cool project!

I can't wait until it's formalized enough that I can just buy a $20 light bulb, update it wirelessly somehow, and then have my own little "light bulb library" server.

That's exactly what this project is. You can buy the same tasmota bulb I used and flash it over the wifi. No disassembly required.

I don't understand why the author doesn't just publish this himself. Linking a GItHub of Latex files is not the same thing!

Well that makes zero sense ... probably because it's a random email with *zero* context.

The photo of his monitor shows the kernel exec'ing his binary after 0.92 seconds.

The old man is absolutely pointing out a very real problem. It is too easy with LLMs to create crap PR:s.

I learned Flask from Grinberg, god bless the man.

nope, it's an old man yelling get off my lawn. And as a fellow old person with an open source lawn, I 100% sympathize.

My lawn == I'm not wasting any of my dwindling old man time on bullshit people vomit out. You want to do that, you fork and leave me out.

But, to be fair, we subsidize all of corporate America, not just AI companies.
