Ask HN: Is there a developer monitoring mobile app?
Does anybody know of development analytics mobile apps? Like one in which I can monitor web traffic and other stats about my deployments and things like that directly on my phone. I'm wondering if this type of thing even exists or if there's a demand for this at all. Obviously there's things like email notifications but I've never seen anything built directly for the mobile platform.

I'm curious to hear how you all handle monitoring things while on the go.

It's not proper call support because the standardisation is a mess. Some carriers don't even support it until now, many refuse to allow it on phones they did not sell etc.

It should have been in the standard from the get go, strictly defined so there's no different standards to check and certify. They should all work the same so there's no need for that.

The lack of standardisation is causing huge problems in countries deprecating 2G and 3G like Australia where people have to throw away perfectly good phones because they're not VoLTE capable according to their provider (and the government mandating that phones without voice service must be banned)

Just like 2G and 3G.

There are plans to remove the small company p & l exemption and new rules on verifying directors ids. Costs are going up too. It looks like a CIC you can only file online if full accounts. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/a...

You have to keep accounts if a business even if not incorporated. A company has to keep accounts if it has any assets (e.g. a domain) or any financial transactions (e.g. paying for hosting)

You will also probably have to file a tax return. You have to keep a register of shareholders.

In fact if definitely not making a profit a standard ltd might be simpler (or maybe a company limited by guarantee) then a CIC as all a CIC does it add restrictions and extra regulation https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7b800640f0b...

My point was that for whatever reason(s), Google chose to buy YouTube, while continuing to work on Google Video (which was started the month before YouTube), instead of buying a different competitor.

Given that YouTube was founded by 3 PayPal alums and was angel investor funded while being one of the top most visited sites at the time of its acquisition by Google, I am inclined to believe that their issues you mentioned above and others not mentioned would have been resolved in-house, via their partnership with Google Video or another company, or via acquisition by another company.

I don’t think it’s likely that YouTube would have failed as a company with the founders and investors it had, such as Sequoia, as it was simply too popular. YouTube had already started running ads for ~9 months before acquisition, though they were initially against pre-roll and other site-wide ads.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_YouTube

> Participatory video ads were designed to link specific promotions to specific channels rather than advertising on the entire platform at once. When the ads were introduced, in August 2006, YouTube CEO Chad Hurley rejected the idea of expanding into areas of advertising seen as less user-friendly at the time, saying, "we think there are better ways for people to engage with brands than forcing them to watch a commercial before seeing content. You could ask anyone on the net if they enjoy that experience and they'd probably say no." However, YouTube began running in-video ads in August 2007, with preroll ads introduced in 2008.

On economic activity? Apple has generated a lot in the last few decades.

Who knows what the future holds? As a SWE you are expected to adapt and use modern technology. Always learning is a part of the job. Look at all the new things to build with, frameworks being updated/changes, etc. Making things easier.

LLMs will make things easier, but it's easy to disagree that they will threaten a developer's future with these reasons in mind:

* Developers should not be reinventing the wheel constantly. LLMs can't work very well on subjects they have no info on (proprietary work).

* The quality is going to get worse over time with the internet being slopped up with the mass disregard for quality content. We are at a peak right now. Adding more parameters isn't going to make the models better. It's just going to make them better at plagiarism.

* Consistency - a good codebase has a lot of consistency to avoid errors. LLMs can produce good coding examples, but they will not have much regard for your how -your- project is currently written. Introducing inconsistency makes maintenance more difficult, let alone the bugs that might slip in and wreak havoc later.
any post like this here will inevitably be met with some variation of “I am better than LLMs, that won’t change in any near future.”

There are 4.5 million SWEs in USA alone. of those how many are great at what they do? 0.5% at best. how many are good? 5% tops. average/mediocre 50%. below average to downright awful - the rest.

while LLMs won’t be touching the great/good group in any near future they 100% will the awful one as well as average/mediocre one

Trying to do what you’re proposing without being detected (the primary use case for military submersibles) is what is essentially impossible, since communicating via sound is of course doable - and also would entirely compromise their purpose.

Hooking to previously unhooked tethers (or keeping drone like submersibles tethered over long periods of time), or communicating via radio underwater is just not practically useful. Like ‘tens or hundreds of meters’ type limited range, when kilometers is typical ‘close’ range.

The reason why crews are required (except for limited research/investigation use cases), is because of these communication issues.
I don't have dsycalculia, but I can feel for him. I have a terrible working memory, so simple calculations in my head are very difficult. I always struggled with math in school. Even though the concepts weren't hard for me to understand, I'd always get the wrong answer because my arithmetic was a disaster. Spelling was also always a disaster, because I couldn't keep track of where I was in the word.
Not everybody internalizes easily the length of a measure though. Even for advanced musicians, it can be very useful to count to improve one's sense of time, or to work on complex rhythm.

I future proofed myself (I believe, and it's worked well so far despite many technology transitions) by always adapting to newer tools and technologies, not involving myself in operating system/text editor/toolchain wars but instead become at least proficient in the ones that matter and by ensuring my non technical skills are as strong or stronger than my technical skills.

This is a path I would recommend with or without LLM's in the picture.

LLMs are not necessarily a waste of time like you mention, as their application isn't limited to generating algorithms like you're used to.

When you consider LLMs to be building blocks in bigger, more complex systems, their potential increases dramatically. That's where mid/senior engineers would chip in and add value to a company, in my point of view. There's also different infrastructure paradigms involved that have to be considered carefully, so DevOps is potentially necessary for years to come.

I see a lot of ego in this comment, and I think this is actually a good example of how to NOT safeguard yourself against LLMs. This kind of skepticism is the most toxic to yourself. Dismiss them as novelty for the masses, as bullshit tech, keep doing your same old things and discard any applications. Textbook footgun.

Yes, the earlier Tintin comics, (like Tintin in Congo, which I don't think is published any more), are quite blatant in its colonial stereotypes. But to his credit Herge did change his world views (and that of Tintin), to become more "multicultural", when he became friends with a chinese artist and sculptor. (See: Tintin, Hergé and Chang – A Friendship That Changed the World - https://thewire.in/books/tintin-herge-and-chang-a-friendship... and the HN discussion on this - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36468028 ).

> When Hergé published this comic book, he was only 23 years old and wrote it as part of government-led initiative to encourage Belgians to take up commissions in Congo ... Later on his life, Hergé would say: "For the Congo as with Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, the fact was that I was fed on the prejudices of the bourgeois society in which I moved ... It was 1930. I only knew things about these countries that people said at the time: 'Africans were great big children ... Thank goodness for them that we were there!' Etc. And I portrayed these Africans according to such criteria, in the purely paternalistic spirit which existed then in Belgium".

The biggest "fault" of LLMs (which continues) is their compliance. Being a good software dev often means pushing back and talking through tradeoffs, and finding out what the actual business rules are. I.e. interrogating the work.

Even if these LLM tools do see massive improvements, it seems to me that they are still going to be very happy to take the set of business rules that a non-developer gives them, and spit out a program that runs but does not do what the user ACTUALLY NEEDS them to do. And the worst thing is that the business user may not find out about the problems initially, will proceed to build on the system, and these problems become deeper and less obvious.

If you agree with me on that, then perhaps what you should focus out is building out your consulting skills and presence, so that you can service the mountains of incoming consulting work.
It also means that you should update your belief about the reasoning capabilities of LLMs at least slightly. if disconfirming evidence doesn’t shake your beliefs at all, you dont really have beliefs, you have an ideology.

"what are the differences between resurrected GuileEmacs that was also announced in EmacsConf2024 and Gypsum? At first glance seems like both projects have the same goal."

Response from @ramin_hal9001@fe.disroot.org

@ram535 thanks for asking! The goal for both projects are similar, but they are achieved in slightly different ways.

Gypsum is a clone written in Scheme, meaning it is software the behaves exactly like Emacs, but it is written from scratch in a new code base. In this case, it is also being written in a completely different programming language, Scheme instead of C. The larger goal is to have an Emacs that is backward compatible with GNU Emacs but is written in Scheme that runs on any R7RS standard compliant Scheme implementation. There is no C code in this project at all, it is purely Scheme. I would like to also target other compilers such as MIT Scheme, Gambit, Stklos, and possibly Chicken and Larceny as well, though this will be pretty difficult and rely on a lot of cond-expand code. The larger goal is to have an Emacs app platform that encourages the use of the Scheme language for creating applications and text editing work flows, regardless of the underlying compiler.

@lispwitch ‘s “GuileEmacs” is not a clone, but a fork of both GNU Emacs and GNU Guile, meaning it modifies the existing GNU Emacs code base and some of the Guile source base, replacing some of the C source code in GNU Emacs with other C source code from Guile. Then, the Emacs Lisp interpreter written in C is replaced with an Emacs Lisp interpreter written in Guile Scheme. This allows Emacs Lisp to be JIT compiled using Guile’s JIT compiler, and also make use of all of the Guile software ecosystem to extend Emacs. This is incredibly useful, because there is quite a lot of Guile software, including things like web servers and game engines, and soon it could all be available for use by Emacs programmers. It will probably also be production ready much sooner than my Gypsum project because it only needs to implement the core of Emacs Lisp to work. However, it relies on language features specific to Guile to achieve this, so it is not fully R7RS standards compliant, and will not work on other Scheme implementations.

Magnetism does not play a role in binding in biology. The primary determinants of binding are: shape complementarity, electrostatic interactions, van der waals forces, and some amount of hard to explain entropy.

The last fairly technical career to get surprisingly and fully automated in the way this post displays concern about - trading.

I spent a lot of time with traders in early '00's and then '10's when the automation was going full tilt.

Common feedback I heard from these highly paid, highly technical, highly professional traders in a niche indusry running the world in its way was:

- How complex the job was
- How high a quality bar there was to do it
- How current algos never could do it and neither could future ones
- How there'd always be edge for humans

Today, the exchange floors are closed, SWEs run trading firms, traders if they are around steer algos, work in specific markets such as bonds, and now bonds are getting automated. LLMs can pass CFA III, the great non-MBA job moat. The trader job isn't gone, but it has capital-C Changed and it happened quickly.

And lastly - LLMs don't have to be "great," they just have to be "good enough."

See if you can match the above confidence from pre-automation traders with the comments displayed in this thread. You should plan for it aggressively, I certainly do.

Edit - Advice: the job will change, the job might change in that you steer LLMs, so become the best at LLM steering. Trading still goes on, and the huge, crushing firms in the space all automated early and at various points in the settlement chain.
