I made a joke to my teammates today: "This will half the amount of AI startup in Europe ..."


Gemini Flash is one of the best "good-enough" models. I use this type of model daily, for automation and quick development iteration loops.

Unfortunately, it's often not strong enough for heavy refactoring and long running development loops.


Yeah we use it for auto-triage of incidents, attempts to auto-remediate, and escalation to human. But for actual development, it’s not a viable option for us.


'Tis a good workhouse, indeed. I hope they give us a 4.0 Pro that can use Flash subagents soon.


Yup. I use it for a ton of mundane queries (stuff that I might have used Google search for in the past) and it's great. Nice and fast and correct more often than not, especially if you prompt it in a way that it invokes Google search (but filters out ads and SEO slop). It's even alright at programming tasks but if it stumbles then I'll escalate to Gemini Pro with extended thinking.


I'm using Go more and more for my projects (AI, Web, CLI, ...). This is my go to for all my new projects.

My background is in data science and MLOps, where Python rules. But the focus is now less on building new AI models, and more on building the infrastructure and API calls with AI Agents. Go has a great async model, stellar performance, amazing tooling ecosystem, and far less ways of doing things than Python.

I except grow to become more and more popular, as our LLMs are now writing most of our code. Between a 50 MB portable binary in Go with 10x performance, and a 5 GB venv in Python with lack of proper parallelism, the choice is easy.


I'd love Django, if they had a better async story ... I used it for a recent project. While the framework is overall amazing, I had to switch to Go for better performance and easier async support.


Django-Bolt is one of the interesting projects I found recently that helps boost RPS for Django by handling HTTP requests via Rust.

API prices are amazing, but hosting this on-premise will be real challenge.


I've switched from Python to Go + HTMX recently. It's a really nice combo, fast, efficient, and easy to maintain. HTMX should be part of the HTML spec.


From my first tests today, it is a workhouse. It can scan my whole code base, optimize every part, with a greater level of autonomy than other tools. This is insane, we are living at the best time.


The literal worst time. I prefer meritocracies.


You think aristrocrats are using GPT and succeeding?


No I think aristocrats are using llms to justify the flattening of wages, where they can use it as an excuse diminish the value of merit based systems.. Meritocracy / education was one of the few ways someone from a lower class couod climb the ladder and they're trying to destroy that ladder.


Then that's a tirade against capitalism - don't direct it at AI. If you don't like the situation, push for socialist policies.


Glad to see Meta back on track! Users will benefit greatly from this competition.


It reminds me of the time where I deployed Gitea for self-hosting my git projects. In the end, nobody wanted to use it beyond myself. I would love to have a true federation protocol for Git, to decentralize the solution further.


I think there are a few options coming around federation of repos - like extension of forgejo, and then there's a newish player called Tangled i think, etc. I'm no expert, but that is something i would like as well...and i'm pretty sure that we are not alone in that desire.


I'm glad we have another player remaining in the competition. More competition means lower price and more quota for us (hopefully).
