I've built an entire app (and Swift UI companion app) to run my consulting business. It's my chief of staff that I use daily. It checks my emails, keeps an eye on client relationships, finds opportunities, helps me qualify them, etc etc.
While I am using Hermes now (and was using nano claw before), they really aren't doing much and so I'm considering folding the little functionality they do into the app, and I think it'll work better.
Part of the app is also a personal agent that checks my schedule and inserts in things into my calendar like "20 min neighborhood walk between meetings" or "break for lunch" between meetings.
I also built an entire document creation system that I use to build analytics reports or proposals, that generates very polished proposals with data about the company with me having to do very little work. All the numbers add up, the cover pages are beautifully designed and full bleed, and the documents always have perfect formatting.
I loved ember for years. Even attended EmberConf in portland around 2015. In fact, I'm just weeks away from retiring my last ember codebase that was in production and worked great for a decade (but I haven't updated in 5 years, since I was unable to keep up with all the changes). But after years of the community dying the most slow and boring of deaths, and having an absolute nightmare needing to hire Ember consultants, I really soured on it.
It is the main reason I completely stick to the boring mainstream (like react) now, so I'm never again stuck between "nobody knows Ember" and "this one consultant is charging $28k a month cuz I'm competing with LinkedIn, Netflix, and Apple" and then am stuck with them implementing engines for fun and then I don't have the time to undo it months later - all left me wanting to flee.
Basically, left it for non-technical reasons, just practical "literally nobody except billion dollar companies use this, I've painted myself into a corner" reasons.
But I do have fond memories of building things with it, personally.
We had the same issue hiring 8 years ago in the UK.
Since then I realized I’ll never require a react/vue/angular/ember/svelte/etc experience, just go for good JavaScript developers with frontend experience, framework doesn’t matter.
Took them a week or two to understand the Ember patterns that’s it.
I think we overcomplicate, all these frameworks are just slightly different ways how to build web apps, the core patterns are the same. Anyone experienced can pick any of these frameworks in matter of days or weeks.
Same on the backend, great if you’ve have experience with any of the express/hapi/koa/nest/fastify/hono, but if you don’t have experience with the one we use, it’s still fine. Hire good engineers, not good “framework” engineers.
You’re so right. I had the same experience early on finding elixir developers so I just thought, I don’t care anymore, I’m just going to try to hire smart people.
And so the 2-3 devs we had working on elixir learned on the job just fine.
But it’s sometimes also the flip, where some candidates don’t really want to learn a tech that isn’t attractive on a resume. But those are probably the wrong candidates anyway (only saying this with experience)
Ember is not Backbone or Marionette, both of them are stagnant. Ember’s actively maintained and improved with 6 week release cycles and LTS versions.
Ember on frontend is what Rails is on backend: less fashionable, opinionated, mature, and still useful when you value long-term app consistency over ecosystem hype and new JS framework of the month.
Htmx is a rebrand of intercoolerjs, which is just as old as react etc.
Tanstack is just an alternative layer ontop of react or solidjs. You're fundamentally still using them. It's just a diffent implementation for eg routing or state management.
So no, none of those could be considered fotm like the grand parent insinuated.
And that's ignoring how both tanstack and htmx are also over 5 yrs old, respectively. Even under these names.
Yeah I’m honestly not sure why macOS updates seem to be so huge. Often gigabytes. Do they actually have thousands of changes, so they basically ship out new versions of almost all system libraries? Or is it that they don’t have good diffing in place? Or is it a BSD thing where you basically ship everyone at once since it’s all sort of “one version” of the base system?
> But aren't they able to do incremental builds and separated x64/arm64?
During the PowerPC to Intel transition, they did stuff like that; perhaps at their current scale, there's reasons why they don't.
Supporting both architectures enables a macOS install to boot an Intel Mac or an Apple Silicon Mac, which is useful in a dual-architecture environment.
It's easy to check for dual architecture support; just use the file command:
Yep, it's one thing if there was some project that saw severe regressions in Bun.rs and actually showed data about regressions.
But it's been available for a week. And so far, seems like crickets on actual data on any regressions. It's more "I just don't like this!" style grumbling.
YOLO? Bun has an extensive test suite and this implementation passed the test suite.
Can we at least try to be a bit more accurate and less hyperbolic?
I will continue to use Bun because the same people that made bun have made this decision. I trusted them one week ago. I have used bun for the past 2 years, and so have many others.
I'm not about to just assume they've become immature idiots yolo'ing stuff overnight. They're still the same people they were a week ago. Or two weeks ago.
Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence! Dijkstra (1970) "Notes On Structured Programming"
LLM generated code is garbage, not because it writes obvious errors. But because it lacks any kind of reasoning - Claude will gladly write you a solution for a problem you never had. Good luck fixing these kind of issues that will never be catched by tests.
>> same people that made bun have made this decision
Are they the same people though? Their interests, goals, environment, incentives, boss etc etc all changed after they got acquired by Anthropic. Its not uncommon for a big company to acquire a smaller one and completely destroy that product to serve the parent company's goal.
You can go read all the details on Jarred's X account - including the progress, how it was thought out, strategy, that they're aware that it looks like zig still, etc etc etc.
Speaking of environment though, everyone neglects to mention that the Bun core team now has access to Claude Mythos. You think they haven't already run Mythos against this? So they have private access to the best cybersecurity scanner known to man.
Suffice to say, I'm yet to see anything that really worries me in any major way with this.
I've read the details, strategy, extensive test suite etc. I'm sorry, I don't think "they have access to Claude Mythos" is the rationale to it unless you truly believe the marketing 100%.
I think we'll just see how it all turns out. Maybe check back in a year or two on hwo it all goes. Anyone who says they "know" or are "very sure" this is the right path or wrong path is plain stupid IMO. Having seen how things work in big companies with high market visibility, I believe there is non-trivial chance this driven mostly as marketting stunt (particularly in current climate) and decision isn't purely based on best interest of Bun's future and longevity.

I ain’t reading a single thing from the guy after this one.

I'm sure macOS has an extensive test suite that Apple runs as well, and yet still people suggest waiting a bit before adopting a new macOS release.
An extensive test suite can prove that you have regressions when you change the code, by showing you one or more newly-failing tests. However, it cannot prove that you don't have any regressions; it can only increase your confidence somewhat.
My argument wasn't that the test suite was perfect, my argument was that this is far from "YOLO" - this is a textbook example of being able to do bigger refactors, etc when you have an extensive test suite.
They can have 100% coverage for all I care, you don’t push 1 mil loc change and call it a day.

Not really, this seems to be a very traditional "we need more cores, captain!" and "here's a datacenter with cores" rental.
Anthropic has grown 80x this year (according to their CEO). They are probably desperate to buy more inference compute for things like Claude Code, not for future investments. In the mean time, Grok seems to not have enough traction to utilize all the spare compute xAI has built with Colossus I and II.
This is one of those cases that shows that Elon is exceptionally better at atoms than he seems to be on the software side.
It’s not just the domain squatters. They have to find a name they can get with Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc in addition to the domain.
Every single 3 and 4 letter .com domain has been registered for at least 20 years, not a single one is available to register. Domains aren’t the reason for names like “wiro” and “tubi”.
Yeah its a bit bad LLLL.com are all taken I do have k4qr.com but its LNLL.
On the other hand though, there are still .org and .net if you are lucky.
I usually just use tld-list.com to find all the domains from a particular keyword and then you can buy one which can be nice (eg: I bought https://mirror.forum this way)
that being said, you can find the registration prices to sometimes be cheap but the renewal prices can be double the .com or more (which is around 8-10$)
For my domain of https://use.expert its renewal is around 40-50$ (4x .com price) but probably worth it as I really love it but I might drop a few domains like mirror.forum as its 20$ just doesn't feel worth it to me and I will just auction it in some forums, not really that sure at the moment
So TLDR: you can find some good names if really need be but the idea generally for these startups is to do something similar to what I am saying and then buy the .com later if/when they have the funds, personally I am not that big of a fan of .com but I do realize that I have more chances of remembering .com's because that's the default expectation of the internet.
The gibberish brand names on Amazon are a formulaic way to streamline trademark registration which Amazon requires for some features on their selling platform.
Yes, they can. I suspect latin characters are used for practical reasons: compatibility with US expectations... some systems only accept latin characters and certainly your US customers wouldn't be able to search for chinese language characters.
A lot of these are puns/vague money sounding names in different languages.
Wero has got to be the worst of the bunch, though. An awkward combination of "we" and "euro" combined with "vero". At least the other pooq/wolo/snivum/rumio like names aren't trying to hard.
And at least its not just a random letter in the English language too! (looking at you X)
I hate random English words as company names. The other day I saw a company called Runway and it seemed interesting. Turns out there's quite a few companies called Runway or with a product called Runway, in the same industry.
Same with Bolt.
And I hate that Meta is now the company name so I can't look for meta stuff without also getting results about the company formerly known as Facebook.
