Has ConcernedApe ever talked about how much he's made from Stardew Valley before? I've seen estimates from $50M to $300M. Certainly shy of the $1B mark, but, especially if his next project is another solo coded one and does well,

Sorry, but this is not really enough of a concern to care about 2% of a $5 monthly fee going towards a company (Yandex) whose involvement with Russia's war seems iffy (Russia themselves fined the company for refusing to give user data

I agree. For me it's a modern version of that good ol "rails new" scaffolding with Ruby on Rails that got you started with a project structure. It makes sense because LLMs are particularly good at tasks that require little mo

My tax dollars are already funding genocide, so for like 10 cents to go towards Yandex a month, of which some fraction goes towards Russia's quixotic war effort (which is an international crime but not a genocide in intent or effect),

I've found that it's mainly good at doing coding work that basically anyone who's memorized the content of the relevant docs could do. So I mostly only use it as glorified scaffolding, as it crashes and burns on complex stuff

Liszt was a very different musician in a very different time than Handel, and he was mostly just cribbing off of Paganini when it came to these antics.

RIP session musicians if that ever comes to pass, which is one of the main ways to make money if you are a good drummer.

The US doesn't generally do new things anymore. We just shuffle money around into peoples' pockets. So we have plenty of societal wealth to do something like this, even given how large and rural many areas are, but we just don&#

This is problem with the places like 90% of the Kitchen Nightmares, Bar Rescue, etc., type shows. An owner retires with a huge nest egg and decides that, as a dive bar regular, they'd really like to think of themselves as the owner of
