Why do you think marketing is not sophisticated?
Here I’ll offer my services. I’ll pretend to do a technical deep dive of your app for X amount. No one will know, I’ll just act super interested.
When the fuck did anyone ever go “omg this web app so impressive”, never, ever, never, ever.
It’s a choice to always see the worst in everything.
Many blog post submissions here are someone diving into something they like, hardware, software, tool etc. and it’s just because people like to share.
Yep, but LLMs being used as aid in writing blog posts is a relatively new phenomenon.
I'm on the fence. IMO ivape provides a hypothesis, but brings it as fact. That isn't a good starting point for a discussion (though a common mistake), but that doesn't prove they are wrong either. Btw, I believe the HN guidelines encourage you to take the positive angle, at least for comments.
As for the topic at hand local-first means he end up with a cache; either in memory or on disk. If you got the RAM and NVMe you might as well use it for performance. Back in the days not much could be cached, but your connection was often too lousy or not 24/7. So you ended up with software distribution via 3.5 inch floppies or CDROM. Larger distributions used gigantic disk cache either centralized (Usenet) or distributed (BitTorrent). But the 'you might as well use it' issue is it introduces sloppiness. If you develop with huge constraints you are disciplined into deterrence to start, failing, or succeeding efficiently. We hary ever hear about all the deterrence and failing.
