freedom to shoot yourself in the foot?


this is slightly more nuanced, since the AI portion is not making money. it's their side hustle


just his luck


I'm sorry, are you saying that you sent all your notes to ChatGPT as prompts? How do you recall or get your notes back?


For example I have a thread for engineer status updates. I get the call transcripts from an internal app my company developed and I push everything into ChatGPT. When I need to recall something, I just ask ChatGPT. It is much better than indexed search.

If I need to just write and don’t want feedback, i tell ChatGPT to not reply until I say so, and I will just write in the most lazy and disparaged way, a true brain dump, When I am ready, ChatGPT will sort out my thoughts.

If conversations get too large I summarize everything that’s important and migrate to another conversation.


This is the most alien (to me) workflow that I have ever read in HN. And that includes emacs.


depends on what you're optimizing for


Wow who pissed in your coffee? he likes rust ok?


And he's telling other people they should like it as well, because he has seen the light.

My gut feeling says that there's a fair bit of Stockholm Syndrome involved in the attachments people form with Rust.

You could see similar behavioral issues with C++ back in the days, but Rust takes it to another level.


I think most of us enamoured with rust are c++ refugees glad the pain is lessened. The tooling including the compiler errors really are great though. I like the simplicity of c, but I would still pick rust for any new project just for the crates and knowing I'll never have to debug a segfault. I like pytorch and matlab fine for prototyping. Not much use for in-between languages like go or c# but I like the ergonomics of them just fine. I don't think it is at all weird for people coming from c++ or even c to like rust and prefer it over those other languages. We have already paid the cost of admission, and it comes with real benefits.


Yes! 100% this!

For me, programming with C++ was like building castles out of sand. I could never make them tall enough before they would collapse under their own weight.

But with Rust, I leveled up my abilities and built a program larger than I ever thought possible. And for that I'm thankful to Rust for being a language that actually makes sense to me.


> You could see similar behavioural issues with C++ back in the days

I think that it's happened to some degree for almost every computer programming language for a whiles now - first was the C guys enamoured with their NOT Pascal/Fortran/ASM, then came the C++ guys, then Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Javascript/Node, Go, and now Rust.

The vibe coding people seem to be the ones that are usurping Rust's fan boi noise at the moment - every other blog is telling people how great the tool is, or how terrible it is.


oh boy wait until he hears about biology


I dunno man, I think writing an app is 10000x harder than adding 5 + 5

I do appreciate that the algorithm here, since you're paying for the music, is not to increase your cortisol levels, but to increase your listening time and perception of the product
