There’s a very real possibility local dev may be dead in 10 years.
- @isamlambert “Planetscale doesnt believe in localhost”
- @ericsimons40 Stackblitz runs Node fast in the browser
- @github runs entirely on Codespaces
This would be the biggest shift in dev workflow since git.
writing about “The Death of Localhost” in my next @DXTipsHQ piece, pls offer any relevant data/notable technologies. will acknowledge in writeup!
big thanks to everyone that contributed opinions and datapoints (shoutouts in the article)! I ended up compiling a nice big list of all the bigco cloud dev environments, and collecting all the arguments for/against
I've updated this post with great takes from this fantastic thread from Kelsey!
"in the long run, fully utilizing the cloud will make engineers more productive. Imagine taking a large test suite and running 1000 tests in parallel on a FaaS platform"
wonderful meetup event tonight. can feel the energy building and love @jolandgraf and @svenefftinge’s incredible passion for solving this problem. super encouraged that they really get how important it is to make dev environments *ephemeral*
1. OpenAI's longest ever Context length: 128k 2. Better JSON/function calling 3. Knowledge: built in RAG and April 2023 cutoff 4. Dalle3, GPT4-V, and TTS model all in API today!!!
4b. Whisper V3 open sourced (coming to API) 5. Customization: GPT3 16k, GPT4 finetuning, Custom Models services 6. Higher Rate Limits - 2x tokens per minute, request raises in account settings - plus: Copyright Shield!
"GPT4 Turbo is a smarter model than GPT4" (GPT4.5 confirmed!)
@latentspacepod @thursdai_pod Friendship resumed with Satya senpai
it’s official - I think GitHub Copilot is the first* generative AI product to publicly claim they’ve passed $100m ARR — enough to stand alone as a publicly listed company
Whenever people ask me “is AI a fad” the biggest thing I point to is “follow the money”:
- revenue, not just funding
- RECURRING, not tcosts on hype
- people publicly saying they’d pay 5x the cost
(*there’s likely a few others but none confirmed officially - see Anatomy of Autonomy post on @latentspacepod)
next up is @DedyKredo LIVE CODING a full test suite, making code changes, and automating commit and PR review, all assisted by @CodiumAI . audible “what the fuck” from @eugeneyan.
Builders need a place to talk turpentine. This is why i'm teaming up with @benghamine to produce @aiDotEngineer, the definitive place to talk AI UX, devtools, infra, and all things AI Engineering.
since MoE is So Hot Right Now, GLaM might be the paper to pay attention to. Google already has a 1.2T model with 64 experts, while Microsoft Bing’s modes are different mixes accordingly
this is a trend I'm calling "Code is all you need"
Comparing Bard vs @OpenAI ChatGPT vs @AnthropicAI Claude on Google's own reasoning/math prompts shows the stark contrast once you make your model write and eval code to answer questions. Reminds me of @amasad and @goodside's… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
