The real sickness is the years spent chasing stock buybacks and low taxes while infrastructure and industrial capacity languished. What an absurd situation where arrays of "temporary" on-site gas turbines are the only viable way to build new infrastructure like this.

I'm surprised they haven't installed the autocannons yet.

I'll even excuse the ones with food photos that look like they were taken with a feature phone. New places that can't even bother to take photos of their own menu are a massive red flag to me. Where else are they cutting corners?

I absolutely despise food delivery sites where there is either "example picture" or AI generated picture on food item. Why even bother? I understand that food-photography needs some level of skill, but still maybe bad photo of real thing is lot better than fake photo of fake thing...

Chilling. They could break my Gradle and I would hardly notice.

No one breaks my Gradle except me!!

Could you imagine Obsidian being posted on HN today, if it weren't really popular already? There's no way a tiny team working on a note taking program would make it out of new, no matter how good it was. I wouldn't click the link, myself.

I still can't tell from the outside whether it sounds like a great time to be in security because of the vulnerable slop being churned out, or a terrible time because the people paying to make it don't care.

Others have already mentioned this is basically a side tool, but I also think decent developers have a tendency to admit to slopping out when they're leaning on LLMs to an extent actual vibecoders would consider quaint.

At first read, the blog post seems at least somewhat cognizant of the shortcomings and state of the project, which is unfortunately now a high bar for new open source releases. If I needed something like this then I would not complain about what's being offered here for free.

I've heard that Phoenix has changed a lot since that book was written. How relevant are those framework specific parts still?

As someone who learned Elixir during the Phoenix 1.7 release, let me tell you: If you downgrade to Phoenix 1.6 and learn from there, you should be fine.

The upgraded versions are mostly the same, but the differences in Phoenix 1.7 are enough to break the tutorials enough to confuse a newbie. Now, in the post-LLM age, that's not nearly as bad. But it was a real pain when I was learning.

> Meanwhile China is blowing past the world with real improvements in the real world- solar, EVs, etc. meanwhile people keep making their fancy sans serif websites about todo apps, faster than ever before. Useless.

Very little about the American economy even makes sense for keeping the edge on LLMs beyond a few years. All the things I would think would be required: energy, research, construction capacity, labor costs -- it's pretty hard to deny who's on the upswing these days. China cranking out current generation microchips will be the last nail in the coffin.

Kind of surprised to see this from Mozilla. I hope they can make the endeavor at least cost-neutral without enshittifying the self-hostable(?) version. The churn of vibe coded garbage from players I've never heard of is super tiring, so I think their brand can be a big advantage for a fresh release if quality is kept up.
