Untrained dev here, but the trend I’m seeing is spec-driven development where AI generates the specs with a human, then implements the specs. Humans can modify the specs, and AI can modify the implementation.
This approach seems like it can get us to 99%, maybe.
Sounds over-engineered, unless your “poop counter” is nine brown smears on the toilet lid.
I’d love to see a Japanese fan style phone 🪭 Maybe it folds up into a reusable straw?
The fuck do you get for paid email? It’s literally just SMTP/POP — where’s the “value add”? I use my own email client so the bullshit ads from Google aren’t an issue, but am I missing out on some email 2.0 magic??
Yeah, where’s this headline?
I rage quit this game after a bunch of hours. Pretty annoying how pretty much every action gets a bounty put on you and then you’re bankrupted trying to pay it off so you can just get back to playing the fucking game without being harassed by every NPC.
Pretty, though.
Um, Americans also realize they’re ABDUCTING people without their consent too, right? And have been, for like months now?
You’re at war with two far-right authoritarian governments, and they BOTH want you to work yourself to death.
Ditto. Voyager is as close to the AlienBlue experience as I’ve seen.
You can just say “American platform”.
Trump and his whole dumb fuck cabinet are guilty of “malicious communications” pretty much every time they speak…
There could be if people had / acted in accordance with any kind of principles of self respect. They’re ants in some rich mega douche’s ant farm, donating their time and energy to their captor, but refuse to make the fucking 6-inch journey to a free ant hill beside them.
Almost all of us are here because of the API bullshit. Those who stayed did us a favour, I reckon.
It did in the Alpha stages, but when they turned it on, it destroyed itself.
This is America. That library would be sued, fo sho.
Doing my part to stop the spread of humanity by not having kids. I don’t really care what the future holds. The planet’s fine and will be so much better off without us (c’mon, meteor!) and I’m still pretty confident that the oligarchs will get what’s coming to them. Or their offspring will get what was coming for their parents. Regardless, that’s something to live for…
Compared to people who work on cryptography and AI magic? Like 2/10. Compared to Boomers? 9/10.
This headline’s gonna get old.
Canadians steer clear of US as travel from north falls for seven-hundredth month.
Sounds like you can save 85% by putting some googly eyes on the chip and calling it a finished product. It’s Chippy, the pointy pet that fits in your pocket.
Good thing he’s anomalous among billionaires!

This poster https://calckey.world/notes/afzolhb0xk is more articulate than my post.
The difference between this “spec-driven” approach is that the entire process is repeatable by AI once you’ve gotten the spec sorted. So you no longer work on the code, you just work on the spec, which can be a collection of files, files in folders, whatever — but the goal is some kind of determinism, I think.
I use it on a much smaller scale and haven’t really cared much for the “spec as truth” approach myself, at this level. I also work almost exclusively on NextJS apps with the usual Tailwind + etc stack. I would certainly not trust a developer without experience with that stack to generate “correct” code from an AI, but it’s sort of remarkable how I can slowly document the patterns of my own codebase and just auto-include it as context on every prompt (or however Cursor does it) so that everything the LLMs suggest gets LLM-reviewed against my human-written “specs”. And doubly neat is that the resulting documentation of patterns turns out to be really helpful to developers who join or inherit the codebase.
I think the author / developer in the article might not have been experienced enough to direct the LLMs to build good stuff, but these tools like React, NextJS, Tailwind, and so on are all about patterns that make us all build better stuff. The LLMs are like “8 year olds” (someone else in this thread) except now they’re more like somewhat insightful 14 year olds, and where they’ll be in another 5 years… Who knows.
Anyway, just saying. They’re here to stay, and they’re going to get much better.
