Pairwise ranking is definitely better than stars, but nobody wants to read your slop, sorry.

Google shows there are lots of these already: Flickchart, Canonova (slop), moup.app (also slop), popcornlist (possibly slop but they at least wrote their own prose so they get a pass, though it is an iPhone app only), pairckle (generic pairwise ranking, not slop!)

Also it doesn't sound like you have figured out how to actually do the ranking yet. Look up Bradley-Terry or TrueSkill.

As usually, the difficult bit is getting users.

Well good news then I guess.

How do I install Nix on Windows?

Yeah don't do that. It's not even novel.

Yeah these types of posts are kind of useless because you can never tell if it's just because they're giving off red flags.

What feedback did he get from interviews? Do people know you can ask for feedback?

It's not that it's a bad idea, it's more that it's basically impossible at this point.

Bazel can't use Cargo, CMake and so on for downloading & building packages because it is trying to do cross-language builds the right way - a single build graph that includes everything. No other third party package managers/build tools actually exposed their build graphs - only commands to perform builds, which are too coarse for Bazel.

To put it simply, its necessary if you are doing things at the scale of Bazel.

Yes they do. I don't think it's totally unreasonable. Slow compile time is a big productivity drain. But it's not as bad as people often make out for Rust - in large part because compilation speed has at least doubled since Rust 1.0, but its reputation is still based on the 1.0 compile times.

And some specific projects do have substantially bad compile times. When your incremental compilation time is 20 seconds where in other languages it's instant... That's notably worse.

But I don't think it should be a deal breaker. C++ has dealt with similarly bad compile times for decades and people don't like it but it's never been enough for most of them to switch to another language.

Excellent presentation skills! He's heard of the hero's tale.

Not a game dev but doesn't it currently have a vastly better asset ecosystem?

Yeah I've quit startups twice when they ran out of money. They were both transparent about it and not everyone quit. One of them got bought and is still alive. One of them found a bit of extra money...

But to be honest a big part of quitting was because the product obviously wasn't commercially successful enough, and I didn't really want to work on a doomed product.

I don't really understand what you're asking tbh. If you want to quit, quit! You don't owe them anything.

Probably fine if you review the code carefully. And if you're working in a domain that AI is decent at (e.g. web stuff). But even if it wasn't it doesn't mean AI cannot program.

Honestly Git sounds terrible for this. And how is it decentralised if you are using GitHub?
