    I watched several of his videos and he just seemed to spend a lot of time b***hing about the current state of software. That's fine if it's got some useful insight, but I don't need to be told things like software bloat is a problem, I've worked in the industry for 15+ years and it's hardly new. It's easy to sit back and be an armchair critic, coming up with the usual excuses and offering nothing new to the discussion.

    The only "solution" he's really offered is this programming language called Jai and honestly, I fail to see how this is going to achieve anything. There is no single reason for software bloat. As programmers we'd like to just see this as a programming problem, hence his desire for the new programming language. In my experience a lot of the reasons for software bloat has little to do with technology and often various constraints (like having to deliver software quickly with little consideration for the longer term).

    I think the problem with Jonathan is that he's lived in his own little indie bubble for too long, where he can work on a 2D platformer for 3 years entirely by himself and do everything his own way, build a little custom engine and so on because he'd pilled up a bunch of money from his contracting days. So fresh codebase, do things his way, great fun. Before that he was doing contracting for years and I've done that as well. There you're actually on the other end of the spectrum, essentially a well paid hired gun to do exactly what you're told and get a project over the line.

    To me it seems he managed to get some success in the indie scene at the right time, before it became completely saturated. But he seems to have been a victim of that success. He never had to properly learn how to run a business. It's only when the money runs out that now his ego will have to finally deal with reality and that's a good thing.

      A huge chunk of the tool devs time goes into implementing the latest clusterfrick of badly tacked on features. From his POV at best they stay stagnant over time. Why is creating a smaller language that increases his productivity such a bad idea?

    • 1 year ago

      >Just don’t use the parts you don’t want to use then?
      Literally not possible. Sepples features are mutually dependent and non-orthogonal, you can't just pick what you want and forget about the rest.

      For instance, constructors basically require exceptions since there is no other way to signal an error. Likewise, exceptions require constructors. Multiple inheritance is exceptionally easy to misuse, leading to the common diamond of dread.

      The single most blatant design blunder, however, is the Most Vexing Parse, which was caused by an apparent ambiguity introduced with direct initialization syntax (C does not have this problem). C++11 introduced uniform initialization to compensate for this problem, but you still need direct initialization to call some constructors (std::vector with an initial size argument comes to mind).

      I'm all for a large language with many features, but these features must
      >not depend on one another
      >provide a semantically uniform interface to access them. usually, this means that functionality is provided in the form of libraries, without additional semantic rules in the language itself

      Experience has shown that it's better to have a simpler language with tons of libraries than a complex language with fewer libraries. The former makes it actually possible to cherry pick the features you want and also makes future evolution easier: just provide more libraries. C++ needs a new standard every other year to change something, putting unnecessary burden on compiler writers.

          Yes because, while it may not be very impactful anymore for actual programmers (it is well known and compilers will usually warn about it), it shows a really poor understanding of formal grammars and the consequences of choosing such a syntax for initialization. It may be excusable for a toy language, but certainly not when you're a professional designing a programming language meant to be used for real software.

                No, I brute forced any puzzle that wasn't 5 second long. The vast majority of the puzzles were less than 4 resets after the obvious start, it took whatever the animation reset time * 4 for each of the dozen puzzles that were placed too early.

                there are puzzles with thousands of options to brute force and if you fail them you have to go right back to the start of a sequence of similar puzzles. these aren't possible to brute force in a reasonable period of time

    >it may not be very impactful
    Hey guys, I know I am seeing a lot of back-and-forth on this topic, but I really need to push back and raise some red flags here. Having an on-site office presence foundational to our ability to drive efficiencies in a corporate landscape. It is in our DNA. Sure, there is no 'one size fits all' or silver bullet and some are just boilerplate solutions, leveraged to the hilt and really only keeping us at a 30,000-foot-view of things. Being on-site, however, really allow us to get better granularity, find better directional-indicators, or loop back and dive deep into some critical issues on a go-forward basis.

    I think if you all start spending more time in the office gain, you'll find yourself trending toward the positive, but you'll have to keep an eye on the puck. Gut through it, reduce thrash, and let's stay in lock-step on this. Yes, we will synergize!

    What's the root cause of the hatred of Corporate office spaces? I'll put my layman's hat on and guess that it comes from movies such as Office Space and Dilbert cartoons. But we all know that these are fictional spaces, and real office spaces allow us to touch base in a much more efficient manner.

    I have to time-box this comment, as I have a hard-stop in a moment when I will have to jump onto a call. So, just one more point that I want to cover-off on: let's socialize the idea of having more office presence and loop back to see whether we're being more impactful. From a management standpoint, I think that we can get the traction to do it.

    So, net/net, ignore the naysayers, sidebar the folks that are stuck in the weeds, and don't waste cycles or bandwidth on folks that don't align strongly with this mission. Try it out, and we'll have another touch point in a little while to see if we've moved the needle. Remember, our north star hasn't changed. We're still championing our core values remotely and we will only do it better in person.

    If you need me, I will be online again in a bit.

      At my day job I'm spending 90% of the time in meetings, reading code, documentation or thinking about a hard problem. 10% at best is typing code and that's being generous. You can be sure the midwit is going to obsess over the typing in their IDE needing to be improved like it's the most important thing. They won't focus on the other 90% because that requires them actually having to do something. Crying about input lag online is a great way to cope about being a shitty developer. Like if the ratio is skewed more towards typing in the IDE, I guarantee it's some braindead webshit type job that just requires copypasting and gluing various bits together. In which case, who cares about those people, they're already competing with the likes of Pajeets or GPT-4, their opinions don't matter and I hope they all get outsourced or automated out of a job because they are incredibly grating to listen to: strong opinions about things they know absolutely nothing about. Happy to waste their time on pointless arguments if they think they can feel clever for a brief moment. It's all so tiresome.

        Then your job is low overall value to society, you are just churning out shit.
        A mathematician (aka someone who is setting the foundation for the next few hundred years of technological advancement) types into their J or APL repl or mathematica nonstop until they see a pattern that sparks a theorem. Defining basic terms and proving it is just bookwork.

        You have to realize that 90% of your time is wasted, the fact that you even think you can predict and plan success in a meeting is hilarious.
