Thanks for sharing. Are you using it on mobile? How is the experience?


I use it on mobile via the web browser, it's pretty good actually. They don't have an official mobile app yet but there might be an unofficial one, I forget exactly.


> if you're primary role is to write software which interacts with a SQL database you should understand how to interact directly with that database.

I agree that there should be a general understanding one should be able to interact with it when needed. But at the same time I don't think devs need to be able to spit out queries with the right syntax on the spot in an interview setting.


Unless I'm doing an exercise where the candidate is actually writing software (in which case they can have Google, their favourite IDE, and if they must an LLM) I never expect exactly correct syntax in an interview. I'm assessing whether they demonstrate the sort of thought processes you'd expect from someone who knows what they're talking about, and can get in the same ballpark.


in our particular case, they could use google. that said, I didn't ask them anything particularly complex. the AI depndant coders(I saw nothing in their abilities that demonstrated engineering) broke down trying to update a single record of known id with a new value.


Add a button that generates more pics of his wife. Could monetize that too.


Add pics of other women too. Charge the wife so she gets notified if he swipes right on anyone else.


> I cannot understand how programmers don't mind adding a strong dependency on a third party in order to keep programming

And how they don't mind freely opening up their codebase to these bigtech companies.

And how they don't mind opening up their development machines to agents driven by a black-box program that is run in the cloud by a vendor that itself doesn't completely understand how it works.


You mean the same companies they are hosting their VCS in and providing the infrastructure they deploy their codebases to? All in support of their CRUD application that is in a space with 15 identical competitors? My codebase is not my secret sauce.


Sure, the codebase itself isn't special. But it's the principle and ethics of it all. These companies trained their models unethically without consequence, and now people are eating up their artificially inflated hype and are lining up to give them money and their data on a silver platter.


My opinion is that the value to be that I’ve been getting out of these tools in both my personal and professional projects is greater than value that they (and others using the downstream effects of them) get out of having my particular codebases.

Also, many of my personal projects are open sourced with pretty permissive licensing, so I’m not all that mad someone else has the code.


How does it compare to mcfly? https://github.com/cantino/mcfly


Opt-in sync with (self-hosted) server, no machine learning. Otherwise probably similar


Just a heads up. The app doesn't load if WebGL is disabled.


Thanks. Noticed this too after I added Sentry, should be fixed already :)


And Canada is already lowering interest rates.


> It seems tricky from the gov's perspective because this oligopoly/collusion behavior likely fuels higher GDP and more tax revenue... but ultimately more competition and consumer protection would make for a better country to live in.

Or because the government is working for these oligopolies and not for the people, regardless of the color of their party's logo.
