Seeing a manual live-coding talk at @ReactMiamiConf brings tears to my eyes A reminder of the lost art of actually writing code Oh how I miss it

LLMs are bad at math. They’re bad at orchestration. But they’re really good at writing TypeScript. So we gave them a runtime. Code Mode in TanStack AI lets the model write & execute TS instead of chaining tools. 🧠 1 call instead of N ⚡ parallel execution 📉 fewer tokens ✔︎ correct results This changes how you build AI apps.

Another practical example of Cheng Lou's pretext: subtitles that never cover the video. You can have balanced text at the user's preferred font size and guarantee to fit it into the letterbox bar of a widescreen movie.
My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

“Dude did you vibe code this slop? This feature sucks!” Been getting this more recently. And no, I didn't “vibe” it. Did you ever consider, for one single second… That I might just be retarded? And I wrote this organic slop myself?

You start working with a junior dev who has zero context, and you guide them to become a senior who knows everything about a project With AI, you start with a senior who has zero context, and guide them to become a junior who knows everything about a project

Interestingly, code used to be easy to write and hard to read. With AI, you can end up with code that's easy enough to read and easy to refactor using AI, but has a "I'm not getting into this mess" property about it once you contemplate refactoring it by hand.

Historically, technological progress meant doing more by removing human process and adding predictability, even if at the expense of quality (hence negative connotation of "mass produced"). With AI, manual process is being removed along with predicability. That's the difference

I don't know what that means, though

So does AT Protocol actually offer what "let's bring social to crypto" had been trying to do all along? Great article by Dan Abramov: overreacted.io/open-social/

Testing ai skills is like measuring text editor skills Good devs know their tools well but no one measures this for obvious reasons (because it's stupid)
learning to use ai for coding properly *is* a new skill that many boomer dino devs refuse to learn, and when they’re unhappy with the results they blame the models… just incredible skill issue and levels of cope

I'm typing a comment on reddit and I can't shake this feeling that what I write sounds like AI I'm not even that good at writing it's just that as soon as you add some encouragement and a couple of exclamation marks the whole message immediately sounds like a load of AI bullshit

All great APIs seem obvious once you come up with them But the process of arriving at them is a marvel of human mind and the biggest reward
