Or to put it more bluntly:
-> These models are trained on average sloppy code, wrong answers on Stack Overflow, and the junk that ends up on Quora. Despite the power and capability Claude 3.7 Sonnet has in small contexts, when faced with even a small codebase it makes constant silly mistakes that no normal developer would repeat and continue to repeat every hour of its operation.

+Handmade's deep appreciation for low-level knowledge gives us the privilege to resist the reliance on AI. Indeed, developers who fully embrace our values can do well for themselves in the age of LLMs without having to use them.
For Handmade devs, the proper use of AI is twofold:
- To stay informed about its progress so we can refine our arguments against its misuse
- To use it sparingly and thoughtfully in areas OUTSIDE our core programming work
-Finally, when we do use AI, it should be through privacy-conscious services like Kagi’s Assistant or by running models locally. Anything else violates the principles defining who we are.

Abner is hyper-social, having started the Handmade [Network](https://handmade.network/) when Casey Muratori needed a community for the viral Handmade Hero series. He then took charge of the conferences when Casey passed him the baton.
A programmer in his own right, Abner’s worked for NASA, Jonathan Blow, the creators of Myst, and is [rethinking](https://terminal.click) terminal emulators from scratch."

When you read about Vulkan in online forums, a common refrain is: \"It’s over complicated, it’s engineered to only be useful for big companies with big teams making big AAA engines, it’s a terrible place to start graphics programming…\"
People seem to feel similarly about the other modern graphics APIs as well. Are they correct? Are they missing something? Where should small teams working on renderers focus their efforts?
This talk will answer these questions, and in doing so, dissect what makes a good API and why."

- answer: "Your kindness will not go unnoticed! You can go about this in a couple of ways:
- **Sponsor directly:** Our tickets already include a transfer button. You can gift them to someone you know.
- **Donate to sponsor pool:** If you trust us to handle it, use our [Donorbox](https://donorbox.org/handmadecities) and in the comments type _“I want to sponsor”_
We use this pool to award free seats to those in need."
- - question: "Are refunds available?"
- question_class: "mt-12 mb-4 text-2xl text-white"
- answer: "We don’t process refunds. The physical track is a superset of the online one, so if you can’t attend in person anymore you can join us virtually."

- question_class: "mt-12 mb-4 text-2xl text-white"
- answer: "If you participated in our fundraiser, you should’ve received a Donorbox receipt and a confirmation email from Abner. Perks started to roll out in March 2024 and will continue throughout the year."
