Not only that, but they can make life inconvenient for your family. Nobody reasonable would accuse the CCP of outright violence, but there are a million bureaucracy-related tricks the state can pull to leverage you and/or your family.


"Nobody reasonable"??

Well, reasonable people generally don't have a death wish. :P

The value is in the answers.

I agree 100%. At the same time, I feel like this piece, and our comments on it are snapshots in time because of the rate of advancement in the industry. These coding models are already significantly better than they were even nine months ago.

I can't help but read complaints about the capabilities of AI – and I'm certainly not accusing you of complaining about AI, just a general thought – and think "Yet" to myself every time.


Exactly! I completely agree. I think figuring out how to use this new tool well develop into a bit of an art form, which we will race to keep up with.

Correct.

In the spirit of r/IllegallySmolCats, perhaps SmolDocs is a possible option.

It has a massive user base. And political connections. And lawsuit money. Apple (and Google) will absolutely treat these publishers differently than a random app developer.

Same. There's a lot out there to get us down, but most people are fundamentally good at the end of the day, regardless of culture or borders.


I agree. It's really cool. I wonder if this was written with AI assistance. Seems like the perfect kind of fun project that a dev team would really be able to crank out pretty quickly whereas five years ago, there might not have been time or budget for something like this.


Kind of an IRL heatmap.


Sindre makes high quality apps. Big fan of what he's put out.
