No wonder so much of our software is rubbish when we treat the compiler and the runtime environment with so much neglect. By disrespecting them, we alienate the entities we rely upon most. I foresee a huge surge in software quality once the

In the good old days, twitter was the replacement helpdesk for the monster corporations. If your issue went viral there, it would suddenly be magically fixed, when the day before it was completely impossible and out of the question. YC shou

Yes, but for humans it creates friction. Seeing a captcha makes me think twice and thrice if I really want to visit that site so badly that I'll endure the suckage. LLMs don't care, for them the friction doesn't exist.

It's poetic that this photo is from a storage room for disused things. The font salad reminds me of the 1980s, when novel desktop publishing apps first gave every computer user a large selection of fonts.

I really don't get how there could be anyone to whom this is not beyond obvious. And yet, software companies are donating their means of production to these crooks left and right, hastening the day where they really will become obsol

If the thing you own happens to be essential for other people's lives, and in short supply to boot, it would be irresponsible to leave all the decisions to you.
