    I evaluated matrix a few years ago to try to add chat to my video game. I also evaluated everything else. Sendbird (proprietary, what reddit uses) is crazy expensive. Matrix is complicated and didn’t have a good simple web frontend. XMPP is still pretty good. In the end, I ended up going with IRC v3 which fixes many of the legacy problems of IRC, and that was the best option. I am still scratching my head as to how that’s the state of the art for sending little bits of text back and forth. Don’t get me started on WebRTC, I spent a whole year trying to make a stable video chat app for another project











  • I think this is true to some degree, but not exclusively true; new grads still get jobs. However, I think it’ll take some time for universities to catch up with the changes they need to make to refocus on architecture, systems design & skilled use of LLMs

    My opinion is that the demand for software is still dramatically higher than what can be achieved by hiring every single senior dev + LLM. I.e. there will need to be more people doing it in the future regardless of efficiency gains
