That's a great point. But I think it's orthogonal to the one I was making in the post. Regardless of whether we encourage content creation over consumption, I think it's even more important for the service to have an underlyi

What you describe as #2 is more or less what I do, and I use CC to do that. I also have both GPT and the Claude UI open and I will often flick out to one or the other (Claude seems to be a lot better at Elixir code for me than GPT) and go i

This more or less describes my experience exactly. There’s obviously going to be a range of views and experiences, but as someone who’s been writing code on and off for nearly 30 years, there’s definitely something in this, notwithstanding

Agree. This is absolutely my fave part of Elixir. Whenever I can get something to flow elegantly thru a pipeline like that, I feel like it’s a win against chaos.

That is a fair criticism of this kind of thing in general, but in this particular case I wanted to combine the Pigovian "tax the bads" idea with the more modern idea of a feebate, which is intentionally revenue neutral (to the Gov

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I will check that out. In between you doing that and me thinking on it overnight, I ended up writing up my thoughts as a blog post [0], which I have submitted here to HN as well [1]. [0]: https://

Rather than ban ads in an absolutist sense, why not think about ads as “bads” (rather than “goods” in economic terms) and then tax them? Let’s define a “good” as something with positive utility and value, and define a “bad” as something tha
