Again, not everyone can afford it, and it becomes a hurdle. Computers are acquirable, but 20$ extra a month might not be. And yes, that plan can get you started, but when I tested it, I managed to get 1 task done, before having to wait 4 ho

One thing that fucks with juniors is the expecration of paying for subscriptions for AI models. If you need to know how the AI tools work, you need to learn them with your own money. Not everyone can afford it, and then we are at the point

Xfce is really good, used to have it as a daily driver. His points about how they do not feel the need to change does seem correct, and it is amazing. As a windows user you should be able to figure it out pretty easily!

They should make it easier to run own businesses in Europe, lessen then amount of paperwork and red tape. It's impossible to start a tech business under the amount of bureaucracy they throw at you. I'd love to give it a go, but to

Really good advice, and honestly wish I had known this at the start of my career. It makes a lot of sense, exactly because proactiveness is the secret sauce to a lot of successes in life.

Such a good solution to the problem. It's really fun to know the various ways people patch things in creative ways to get things shipped.

Problem is that you need to buy a new one of them once they do not get updated anymore, and the apps start requiring newer versions of android. But yes, this seems like the best possible option - also it enables the extra security through c

Hi Xena! Your blog is amazing! Didn't realize you're working on Anubis - it's a really nice tool for the internet! Reminds me a bit of the ye' olde internet for some reason.

Convenience and developer uncertainty. I fall pray to the "it's paid, so it must be better" fallacy, and the "they know what they are doing, they are pros" illogicality.

I had a larger rant written, but this is the only part that had any value: Yes, one can argue that lack of produces results does not give big plusses towards their work processes, but it does not necessarily negate the value of the concepts

Not really. Let's reverse the situation on you - why should we take your opinion seriously, we have no idea how much you have shipped, if anything at all, so by your logic, your ragging on the other programmers practices is ridiculous.

I had this idea of having toolbox+custom user for each project - that way it would be "simple" to have isolated environments, but it does lead to a lot of bloat. And I do think it is a naive solution. Bwrap seems like a better opt

This is a very good point - but isn't this solved by dropping the requests from AI scrapers with your firewall?
