What is it with humans that we tend to speedrun into the extinction of our own race?

I’m honestly baffled by the praises of Rails in the comments. I started my dev career with php and then nodejs, but recently got a job with rails, and honestly, it’s the worst among the 3. There is no static typing whatsoever, it’s littered

Got the same. Kind of a bummer to see “AI powered item naming”. Who needs this shit? Hope the price increase is not to cover their useless AI spendings. Otherwise I’m happy with 1Password.

Well, it's still true... for YOU... and ME... and all other ordinary "upper to middle to lower" class people. It's not true for the ultra-rich and well-connected people.

Well, I agree. But I also hope that maybe we find out that it simply is not economically viable to AI all the things

It feels like the early days of crypto. It promised to be the revolution, but ended up being used for black markets, with malware that use your Madison to mine crypto or steal crypto. I wonder if in few years from now, we will look back and

I keep seeing over and over how Europe should be self sufficient. I’d be happy for Europe to be self sufficient. But the truth is that Europe does not have the infrastructure and offering to be self sufficient. Even looking at basic things

I don't get it. Apple is the top 3 most valuable companies in the WORLD. THE WORLD. They act like a greedy friend that would ask you to pay back $1.54 for a meal of $1500, because you ordered a side of fries which they did not eat. Are

I'd be happy to switch to Linux, but my Macbook with M processor is a real work horse. First of all, everything works (bluetooth, headphones, camera, etc). Second of all, ARM based processor is a beast. Until someone release an ARM bas

That’s my point. Technology is a dead end now. The only thing left to do is go back to doing mundane physical work in order to feed yourself.

I just saw it recently and it made me depressed. Not affiliated and didn’t use it myself.

It's a good read, thanks for sharing. But the flaw in it, is the fact that you think that the world is built on merit, i.e. Good Taste, as you call it. And while sure, merit / good taste are important, but if you look at the mains

This is different. AI is not a "personal computer" or a "digital camera". AI is a change in perspective of our entire society, how it works, and what we define to be human or human-made creation. The end goal of AI is to

You don't get it. You, and I, are in the minority. How do you expect authors to keep writing, when the market will be, eventually, flooded by AI generated slop? It's the same with coding: I no longer see point to write OSS by hand

While I agree with the sentiment of the post, I’ve also came to a conclusion that it’s not worth to fight against the system. If you can’t quit your job, then just do what everyone else is doing: use AI to write and review code, and make su

Thank you. I peeked at the Vagrantfile, and I noticed that you rsync the working directory into the VM. I have two more questions. 1. Is it safe to assume that I am expected to develop inside the VM? How do run IDE/vim as well as using

I wonder why everyone seems to go with Vagrant VMs rather than simple docker containers.

Would it be appropriate to use :surprised_pikachu_face:? I meant, I no longer know who to trust. It feels like the only solution is to go live in a forest, and disconnect from everything.

I always knew that "Unlimited PTO" is beneficial to the company rather than its employees. It's the same trick of "we offer [20% lower base salary than market rate] + 2.79% equity" - it sounds like you could break t

Sure, self awareness is important. When you tell your kids not to walk your way, you take accountability. You say that what you did was bad, and you are accountable for it. You also acknowledge that what you did brought you to where you are

I noticed an interesting pattern. People who “made it” usually by working high paying jobs for the neofeudal lords, suddenly gain moral compass and tell the rest of us to not work for said neofeudal lords, because “money is not important”,

Welp, I'm worried. I like Astro, but maybe it's time to make my own SSG, to not ever end up in the hand of a few big-sharks that consolidate and enshittify everything.

It’s not only about the .env, but also intellectual property, algorithms, even product ideas. Moreover, let’s say you run a dev server with watch mode, and ask claude to implement a feature. Claude can generate a code that reads your .env (

It’s better to just ban social media all together. It clearly doesn’t provide enough good value to society, regardless of age.

Isn’t it ironic that it’s posted on medium?
