It's moreso everything will need a signed hardware key of some sort. The app is just the easiest expression of that.

I really wanted to get into nushell but i found reedline to be very limiting in a few specific ways esp around keybindings that blocked me from moving to it

Anyone knows how good is the vi mode ?

This is why i simply do not bother with them unless the task i need is so specific that theres no room for argument, like yesterday i asked it to generate me a bash script that ran aws ssm commands for all the following instance IDs. It did that as a two shot.

But long conversations are never worth it.

"building a compiler that translates typescript to native binaries"

Is a really weird way to say that you built a native compiler for typescript.

> Is a really weird way to say that you built a native compiler for typescript.

Well, the Typescript team is rewriting their compiler (landing in v7) in go, and some ppl call it the native compiler. I think my statement is clearer? But then English is not my first language, so there's that.

I mean Crossplane is a pretty popular k8s operator that does exactly that, create cloud infrastructure from K8s objects.

If your only tool is a hammer then every problem looks like a nail. It's absurd how anyone would think it's a good idea to implement their IaC infrastructure, the one think you want and need to be bootstrapable, to require a full blown K8s cluster already up-and-running with custom operators perfectly configured and working flawlessly. Madness.

Its more of a usecase for large platform teams that want to automate and enable hundreds of teams with thousands of disparate cloud resources.

You can have a small bit of terraform for crossplane then crossplane for the 99% of the other resources

I hope someone somewhere has managed to run a K8s cluster on a bunch of EC2 instances that are themselves described as objects in that K8s cluster. Maybe the VPC is also an object in the cluster.

> LLMs bailed us out of the impending ultra-specialization.

This is fundamentally what makes them so DAMAGING to humanity. They didn't bail us out, they robbed us of it.

Specialization is for insects, as Heinlein said. We are going back to the Renaissance Man ideal and I'm all for it.

isn't it exactly the opposite? LLMs have killed the generalist, only specialists with very targeted skills have anything marketable

100% the opposite. LLMs lack high level creativity, wisdom and taste. Being a generalist is how you build these.

For example, there's a common core to music, art, food, writing, etc that you don't see until you've gotten good at 3+ aesthetic fields. There are common patterns in different academic disciplines and activities that can supercharge your priors and help you make better decisions.

LLMs can "see" these these connections if explicitly prompted with domains and details, but they don't seem to reason with them in mind or lean on them by default. On the other hand, LLMs are being aggressively RL'd by the top 10% of various fields, so single field expertise by some of the best in the world is 100% baked in and the default.

Good lord thank you, the comparisons to other "abstraction changes" have made me so mad.

You are not changing the abstraction, you are generating it in a different way. That is a hugely different idea.

Until the ONLY thing you look at for a long lived product is the "english spec" then the analogy is incredibly wrong.

An excellent stepping down post, nothing more could be hoped for. Enjoy the next projects

That is the entire point of the FTC. To decide what actions are fair to the free market and enforce it.

You can disagree with khans take on it but it is the stated purpose of the FTC to dictate that.

> We can write code a lot faster than we can safely deploy it at the moment.

This has always been the case?
