I think if anything frameworks will become more important. They are already built into the training data of these models and they provide guardrails like protection against xss and sql injection. They are an architectural decision like anything else but why reinvent the wheel even if its an LLM doing the work?
Maybe I just run in different circles but I was always under the impression that the so called Chuck Norris of programming was Jon Skeet, another rather "famous" google employee
Yeah I thought exactly the same, but I guess Jon Skeet is from a different era altogether, we're moving into a world where many programmers perhaps have never even entered StackOverflow. I feel old.
Hi! I'm Nick, I am a software engineer with 8+ years of experience mostly in building distributed, cloud-native systems/applications. I work primarily with Node, Kotlin, .NET backends paired with React frontends, and have deployed extensively in both AWS and Azure.
Awesome product! I really liked how the auth profiles work as well. While the primary use case is workflow automation are there any roadmap items on integrating this with the developer experience? A previous company I was at was fairly fond of e2e tests in playwright and this seems like it would have been a huge boon for writing them quickly.
We're constantly thinking about ways we can improve the dev experience and integrations story around deploying these scripts. Right now we support API executions, and we are adding webhooks soon. We think this will unblock the earliest adopters, and as we learn more about popular use cases/workflows, we'll look to prioritize first-class integrations where it makes sense.
For me there are 2 components to staying motivated.
1. Measurable, manageable goals. Don't toil for hours on end. I set the goal of 1 hard, 2 medium or 3 easy problems a day. And if I get stuck I consult chatgpt study to help direct how I should think about a certain problem.
2. Make it competitive. At least for the actual leetcode site you see how your run time and memory consumption stacks up against other users. I try to be the best in one or both. This can also get at run time and space complexities. You can also see the solutions for the fastest run times which can teach you some lower level ideas for the language you are using. I learned about holey arrays in Javascript due to this and how certain conditionals are better optimized for v8.
I am indeed learning a lot more about Python through my leetcode exercises. E.g. (this might sound lame to many) but I had never used the defaultdict type or the @lru_cacbe decorator up until I started doing leetcode.
I think these are the use cases for agents that are a win win for everyone. Companies get increased velocity from dev teams and quicker resolution of compliance headaches while developers get to focus on things that are actually interesting.
