  • Commented: "Ghidra by NSA"

    Binary Ninja seems way ahead in terms of UX, as a hobby reverser. It's my default as well.

  • That’s funny cause I feel the opposite: LLMs can automate, in a sloppy fashion, building the first trivial draft. But what remains is still thinking hard about the non trivial parts.

  • Commented: "The Codex App"

    LLMs are trained on web slop, not engineering

  • Nothing wrong with the "creating products that prioritize user experience over features" - or more accurately what Jobs said: create products that start with the user experience and the user’s needs first and then work your way to the tech (as far as I remember)

    The opposite approach is starting with some tech and then trying to find a use for it, e.g. folding phones, second 1/2 screen on laptop, etc, instead of trying to actually create a usable, quality trackpad for instance.

    The critique is still valid: Apple, for their software, seem to not have the same focus on quality as Jobs once insisted on. Their physical products are very much still top notch, and the products on the whole are still developed with this mindset as far as I’m concerned. It’s just the software quality that has taken a hit for some reason.

  • Biggest issue is the lack of free speech. It’s a platform with an agenda, which is a huge red flag.
