Funny to see this; I read the first ~100 pages of the Stripe Press book last night and am highly enjoying it.

It seems to be a trend of HN lately.

Downvote me into oblivion or whatever: It's not relevant to me in the slightest whether you built it in Rust or not, or even Python, Go, Java, Node, PHP etc. There is lots of great and terrible, fast and slow software written in each. OP might only have 3 months of programming experience for all I know.

Why is "made with Rust" any more relevant than "made with Go" to an end user of a software product? It just doesn't matter.

> It just doesn't matter.

Pre LLMs it did matter, not rust specifically but the language itself. It meant the difference between asking the developer for a feature/fix and getting it done myself if needed.

Now not so much with LLMs, but it does signal something about the development, deployment and supply chain risks involved.

The DevOps team at my company wants to hire a replacement for a very talented engineer. They’ve been interviewing candidates. The board got wind of it and someone not in their team decided they needed an AI Engineer, which is absolutely not what they want. So to release the funds they have been forced to change the job description and go after a different type of role altogether. It’s complete nonsense.

A well researched and written piece

When is it correct to use “tonnes” or “tons”?

Hello. I didn’t consent to any of my HN comments being used in this way. Please kindly remove them.

Did you consent to this? https://hn.algolia.com/

You absolutely did consent to this.

To be incredibly pedantic to the point of being irrelevant: technically the sign up page 1) doesn't have a clickwrap "I agree" checkbox, and 2) there's no link to the TOS on the sign up page.

That makes the implicit TOS agreement legally confusing depending on jurisdiction.

(Not that it really matters, but I find these technicalities amusing)

I’m reading that paragraph now and fail to see anything about a relationship with huggingface or the user responsible for copying the data.

Only Y Combinator and its affiliated companies have license, me thinks.

That's a good point, and I think this will be my last post on this site. I never added much value anyway.

@dang What’s Hacker News’ official stance on this?

This isn't presented anywhere on signup.

When did we ever measure the value of code by quantity, not quality? The author is misguided.

Did you read my list of characteristics of "good code" further down the article?

That's all about quality, not quantity.

Care to elaborate? Your comment is unhelpful and unkind.

Sure - the website is AI slop. The whitepaper is AI slop. There is no author or name on either.
