Software developer since 1981. Excited about the utility of AI and LLMs. Use to say building with VueJs, InertiaJS, Laravel and Tailwind. Now developing in whatever tech stack makes sense for each project since LLMs can code in anything.
First compiter I touched or had even seem was also a ZX81 a friend of mine had. The first I ever owned was the original ZX Spectrum 48k.
Sorry for your loss mate. I know too well how it feels. Here’s a pic of our girl in solace.
This vehicle is the calssic Emperor's New Clothes metaphor. Ugliest damn vehicle every made, and that's saying something.
Great post, thank you!! Let me down a rabbit hole investigating my own situation.
And 3, the fact that the wealthy, who can afford to pay more with no ill effect, would rather leave than support the poor, is exactly the problem with a late-stage capitalist system.
I don’t normally comment on these sorts of posts, but “never worked a day in her life”? Seriously? 😮💨 I’m a husband & father & I feel insulted for her. Hers is a INFINITELY more challenging role with a TON more work & NONE of the glamour.
We’re all sorry. America and the rest of the world would be a better place if you were wrong.
Never thought I would ever have anything but a dark IDE theme, but here we are. 🤷♂️
This explains its use for teaching. The Wikipedia article also said this, “It was widely used as a teaching language in university-level programming courses in the 1980s”.
Used Anthropic's Claude (latest Sonnet 3.7) to design the DB schema by passing it a spreadsheet we are using to record our ops data. Claude created the DB after asking some questions & made some great suggestions. Then it created the Laravel migrations and told me how to run them. 🔥🔥
Progress! Not sure about the UI/UX (I'm no expert) but this was created using the latest agentic Cursor.com in a almost one shot (there were heriocon import issues that needed another prompt to fix paths). Looks 🔥🔥 to me with Shadcn/Vue and Cursor doing all the work. I love Laravel and Cursor!!
And now I have it deployed on cloud.laravel.com and using WorkOS for authentication. A little tricky and things to understand, but not too difficult in the end.
I decided to use WorkOS for authentication which added a learning curve but it does allow for using our company Google Workspace accounts for access. And the default starter kit dashboard looks amazing if you as me. Love it!!
