I'm a strong believer that we're not all wired the same way and thus we can't all learn the same way.

Unfortunately, unless one is born with the resources to pursue a truly individualized education, our education system is designed to benefit the most number of students with the lowest cost to implement. A classroom with 12:1 student to teacher ratio will surely be more effective than a classroom with 24:1, but are you willing to increase your property taxes to hire 2x the number of teachers?

Indeed, many students like yourself will not progress optimally in such a system, but perhaps until AI develops to the extent that we can have a fully individual educational experience that kids can actually adhere to (having seen my 4 year old on Zoom lessons, I think we're a ways off even if AI can build a personalized curricula), there will be students that cannot grow optimally under a "normalized" education system designed for mass efficiency,

That might be the exact right analogy. People who see Excel for the first time seem to think they have superpowers. In actual fact the superpower is knowing how to use it effectively and knowing when you are on the edge of its abilities.

Aspirin+Claritin was what I used when I had a few weeks of extended COVID effects past the actual infection. It really does seem to work!

Or at least I think I had it... I never actually tested, I just assumed I should probably isolate regardless of whether it was COVID or the flu.
The price target for companies like Climeworks is $100/ton for ambient CO2 removal. Assuming that price, it'd be a dollar a gallon. The gas price fluctuates more than that year to year.
This oversimplifies a complex issue. What about seasonal variation? The Amazon varies in flow rate by a factor of 1-2, other rivers vary by a factor of 20, between the months of greatest and least flow. Yearly variation also exists:

Calling for pausing AI right now is equivalent to calling for stopping the development of the nuclear bomb in the 1940s. If we did that, Germany wouldn't have abided by it, and they would have gotten a bomb and won WWII.
It is a philosophical debate about the relationship between HTML and CSS.

The "traditional" approach to authoring HTML and CSS is predicated upon on idea of separating concerns. The idea is that your HTML should not depend on your CSS, and your CSS should not depend on your HTML.

The "utility-first" approach reacts by claiming this is wrong. It goes on to reason that either HTML depends on CSS or CSS depends on HTML, but neither are independent. This is what Adam Wathan calls "dependency direction."[0]

I've tried them all.

Vanilla CSS, SCSS, BEM, Bootstrap, Styled Components, different kinds of CSS in JS solutions and I still prefer Tailwind over the other methodologies and libraries because I don't have to think about abstractions and naming things. Abstractions are huge foot gun in frontend development because it kills all flexibility.
With Styled Components or similar libraries you have to wrap all your components with all kinds of variants that inherit properties. Composition over inheritance is a huge benefit of Tailwind.
The big problem with CSS is the specificity and if you ever worked on a real big project with BEM or vanilla CSS/SASS it will eventually become a huge mess of specificity and more and more specific nesting of class selectors to override other styles that you don't want. With Tailwind you can just add exactly what you want, nothing more, nothing less.

Sure the html is "ugly" but that part is invisible.

It is also very likely your bundle size will be smaller because it only adds the CSS for the helpers that you really used.

Just my 2 cents I guess. People should use what they like.
I posted your thoughts on the Tailwind chat. I’m trying to push Adam or one of the other leads to come on and post a proper response.

I completely disagree with your opinion, as well as numerous other Tailwind developers lol.

Your opinion of Tailwind is kind of the like what the person who may have believed the flat head screw was the way when they introduced the Phillips head screw. Both types of screws are great tools, but a Phillips head may have seemed less superior to you because you didn’t understand its purpose and value.
"Isn't most code boilerplate?" belts out the choir/peanut gallery/greek chorus
The provider of care gets paid "a reasonable amount". The care is provided. No bureaucratic nonsense. Sound ideal. Except... someone invents a novel care. They can choose to provide it "for a reasonable amount". But it can ONLY be provided by the entity paying "a reasonable amount". That entity has to make the call "novel care/old care". Old care is ALSO provided at a "reasonable amount" and has entrenched interests. There is no way that novel care wins. Without setting up an alternate system, or going OUTSIDE the system. Then, consumers of old care can see novel care and its benefits. They can then demand novel care. This happens within the American system, and the American system provides that "outsider status" to other systems (like the one we have in Canada). What does the Canadian system eventually go? Without sufficient external force, it is less expensive to provide MAID (medical assistance in dying) that actual healthcare. The current debate in Canada is whether mental illness is a sufficient trigger for MAID. Depressed? Best cure is death. And, yes, Canada has been mocked for that.
Automatically, on boot? That's rather naughty. I've never encountered this but I boot into Windows with a frequency approaching "never", and I would certainly never intentionally permit it to install updates. I would be so livid if it wrecked my boot sequence without user interaction.
Canonical seems to be trying to push users off of Ubuntu. I switched to Arch from Ubuntu about 6 years ago after seeing how aggressively Ubuntu would auto-update, and because of Zeitgeist. I would never look back.

Arch is customizable, simple (in the sense that there are no surprises; things work as expected), and has a great community. Folks here can argue about snaps or flatpaks, and I can happily use AUR to install nearly anything. If it’s not there, I can publish it.

I’m not forced to adopt whatever GUI Canonical thinks is best for me in a given year or whatever their trendy new craze is. I can enjoy i3, tmux, vim, and ignore the rest.
I like flatpaks much better than snaps. I wish they would implement an equivalent to snap's classic confinement so that apps like vscode could interact easily with the default system shell, libraries, executables etc. That feels like a big hole in flatpaks.
It definitely makes a difference, cows gain a lot of fat on a grain diet. The original reason people did this was the meat tasted better, but we’re extending that time period because subsidized grains are so cheap.

I'm doubtful. Being effective as dev usually involves a conscious effort to focus on the context of where we are, where we're going, and what's needed to get there. Also, the ability to recognize and avoid rabbit holes.
I’m surprised and a bit puzzled at what they’ve done with logical properties: they’ve completely ignored the existence of vertical writing modes (apart from single-corner border-radius, where you can’t), and named things in such a way that it would be ugly and inconsistent to subsequently support the block axis, since they’ve basically renamed inline-start and inline-end to start and end.
"Natural" basically means local optimisation, whereas "artificial" means global optimisation. Note also that most companies aren't optimising for nutrition or satiety, but instead for low cost and high addictiveness.

It's the same reason we worry about (artificial) nuclear weapons - despite "natural" reactors also existing.

The culture around GPT at the moment is verging on fanaticism.

When car companies close down and people lose jobs, it's sad for the die-hard followers, but most people don't care so much. This closure of trivium-level programmery is being met with a ramp up in fanaticism and repetitive doubling-down on preset views. So odd...
You the reader, should treat this article like a river and read only the second last paragraph.
people should be able to lose their jobs but not their ability to live. that is the actual problem. if losing your job simply meant having less to do during your day until you find a new job, then it wouldn't be much of a problem to obsolete industries that are destructive (e.g., oil and gas).

I'm not old enough to remember pre-2009 well enough to comment, but since then, yes, it's been scammy.

The SV/SFBay idea of success is what the rest of us would call a pump and dump: burn a bunch of money to drive existing enterprises in the rest out of the country out of business; while providing at best marginal, and usually no, product benefit to consumers; and dumping the money losing venture on institutional and retail investors.

That's success. "Exiting." Not building something new, valuable, or sustainable.

"Oh, but wait, there are sustainable businesses," you might say. With few exceptions, they are advertising companies. Advertising is a fixed pool drawn from the real economy; all they've done is divert it from existing businesses.

Just make sure to pretend you're changing the world.

Maybe one point not raised enough in the eternal discussion between Tailwind vs CSS properly is the cognitive load of naming and organizing things.

To do CSS properly, you need to name classes, you need to come up with CSS cascades that work.

Being programmers we would love to categorize and name things all day long. Ever heard how we over-engineer things because of the DRY principle?

But we would love to name classes and do CSS properly only theoretically. In practice, we run out of time making CSS with nothing to show a week into the task except a CSS kitchen sink demo. By the time we're done, the scope of some component has grown in a way we did not expect and is hard to represent without markup change.

Tailwind on the other hand removes the task of thinking how to name the thing we're making. A appbutton appbutton--state-user-notallowed or a touchbutton touchbutton--disabled? In Tailwind it's just a a blue-600 rounded rectangle. Scope changed? No problem, now it's a green-400 shadow special rectangle, without checking where else it was or will be used or coming up with a new name for this special rectangle.

It's just faster. Not strictly better.
Sorry gotta share but when we had my first daughter 13 years ago we got to take a tour of the doctors office . He walked us over to an antique cabinet that was full old dusty worn looking bottles… the doctor as I recall said: “these are all medicines from around 100 years ago they are all pretty much alcohol based and would reduce your pain - medicine really hasn’t improved much since… we can help you with pain but otherwise it’s pretty much up to you”. He went on to point out this is why he avoids keeping patients in the waiting room as he pointed to kids finger prints on the glass wall. So take this as you will his name was Dr. Jones so that was even cooler IMO but he did pass away sadly shortly after we started there… maybe his insight still applies today…
> Either ChatGTP can do the whole thing itself (not yet the case) or it is a minor productivity boost because the hard part is articulating the problem.

What a ridiculous dichotomy, or course there's plenty of room in between. The hard part might be articulating the problem, but the other part takes time. Make that part not take time and you can do more of the hard part.
10x engineer obviously do not do 10x work, because 10x work usually means 10x bugs.

10x engineer cut the implementation complexity from 10x -> 1x, and then proceed to do that, while still satisfying business/product intention.

Generating 1000x code is more like being a -1000x engineer.
Oddly, I am most productive when I have time to be slow. I make 10x better decisions about what to do, how to do it, and in many cases why NOT to do it.

This isn’t very conducive to corporate work though. It’s about timelines and features promised to customers.

I find I’m 10x more productive in the long term on projects I’m a sole developer on or when working with a small knit team. And I don’t measure that in lines of code or number of features.

I wonder if ChatGPT can help there.
Be careful! I have been experimenting with just this approach and ChatGPT 4 often forgets important parts of the code when generating the new files. If you ask ChatGPT to break down every change into step-by-step changes with code examples, it does a really great job and you can check every change yourself before implementing it.

Hiring an engineer based on a tool they use is a great way to end up hiring no one.
I've moved from Ubuntu to Fedora and it's been more stable while also being more up-to-date without rolling-release distros headaches. Strongly recommend it.
I can agree with that - fitting in is important. Totally makes sense.
> For some reason we demand significantly stricter controls over anything "lab-grown" than on anything "natural".

The reason is simple. We haven't co-evolved with lab-grown food for several billion years, or had transmitted cultural experience with it for tens of thousands of years. The recent discovery that artificial sweeteners have unforeseen health effects (hyper-clotting / glucose intolerance) should point out the necessity of caution.

The human organism has been in a very complex dance with its environment for millennia. We have no idea what subtle chemical traces it is grown to depend upon. We pay for our arrogance and never seem to learn.
Pointers for the curious about understanding and running LLMs
Apologies, it is very common for an LMM to make this kind of mitsakes.

"Degrowth" aka "Malthusianism 2.0" is a synonym for depopulation and / or decreased standard of living.

Even the current number of humans alive - let alone people yet to be born - can't be maintained without continued growth, innovation, and the paradigm shifts resulting from that innovation and growth.

Anyone trying to make the argument for degrowth therefore ultimately has to decide which humans deserve to be born or who gets to have a standard of living comparable to the one common in developed economies today.

And those economic pressures include: at 5 floors, you can stickbuild the structure with relatively unskilled labor.

FYI.. italy banned PRODUCTION of lab-grown meat.. but not IMPORTATION. We have a similar law for banning GMO, we cannot produce them but we purchase them from nations outside italy. pretty silly uh?
To me it seems to be when it's irrational reactionary overreach. If it's deeply unpopular why is it so threatening and why does it need to be banned before it even becomes a real thing? Won't the market quickly show that "bugs and lab-grown abominations" can't stand?

Sure, but 'jobs' are not everything, they are just one measure and if you look at what is listed under 'services' then you'll find that a lot of those services are actually in support of the other 27% of the jobs.
I agree with the compounding impact of self-automation.

Also, some people just keep growing their creative outlook. They are not afraid to try solving bigger & bigger problems.

I worked with an engineer (individual contributor) at a company with a lot of related software products.

Time and again, he would hibernate then come out with a new well developed tool or product that either impacted the entire product line or started a new product line.

Once the value of what he had done was obvious, and his clever design had stabilized in a form understandable to others, he would hand it off to a team of great developers to polish, release, update etc.

10x impact would be an understatement.

If we measure impact, it is easier to see where 1x, 5x, 10x, or 100x can be achievable and verifiable.

Also x/2, x/10 or (and I have seen it) -x. One team leader, -5x at least, until they were removed.
That's great! I'd love to have a proper response as you say.

As for your analogy, I'm not convinced it's adequate. The Phillips screwdriver does not reinvent the way to turn screws as Tailwind does here with styles. The Phillips screwdriver does not add complexity in the building of houses.
No, the official policy is that that team is to poke at anything that's used together with Google, which is ~everything. It started as a result of someone using a security bug in other software to gain privileged access to Google.

You have a phone. People use the same phone together with a Google service and a security-related bug in the phone could be used to e.g. steal your Google password, therefore the phone's software is in-scope, no matter who made it or what it runs.

I see the sense of it, but it's weird to me too. What's not used together with Google? That's such a wide scope. But it's not a matter of security or marketing, the weirdness is in the wide usage. Kudos to Google for working on it.
A Prius perhaps wasn't the most relevant comparison. I might have been letting my disdain for for fancy cars influence my argument. Maybe one of those silly sporty looking Camrys would be more appropriate haha.

That said, I wouldn't trade my Prius for a Tesla (well I would, but I'd then trade it for a new Prius). Whatever image they present, they're good cars.

I'm stuck on some rather legacy (read: fashionable 5 years ago) stack either way, but its interesting that I'm conducting an interview later today where the applicant ensured to exhibit a Next/Tailwind/TS app that runs on Vercel.
