software is so so so performative now
"yessss bro, i created a "alternative" for a software that already exists but now it has 1/100 of the features , is 500% slower, 1000% more memory inefficent for the same tasks that you cant compose anything to get anything of value out of this, and ruins the image of every alternative that is trying to do better but its 25 mb and made in rust , and its made using opus 5.5 which is "agi" so it must be good , btw dont forget to pay for 25 dollar a month subscription for ai features which works 1 in 6 times "

What the hell must I do?
Artists just want a place online where platforms don't feed their work to AI. So I built Cara. But people just won't leave us alone.
The laws don't help us, the governments don't help us. What are artists supposed to do exactly? 1/
I guess I'm lucky in that every interaction I've had with AI trying to do work is nauseatingly frustrating as opposed to the joy I feel in doing it myself
I'm 33 and I think Claude Code is melting my brain.
For 6 months straight I've had 5-6 terminals open at once, waiting on responses just to smash "enter" 90% of the time. That's the whole job now.
And it's doing something to me. A few friends and I keep circling back to the same thing in conversations: none of us feel as sharp as we used to.
Maybe it's just us. But I keep wondering how many other people in their 30s feel it too.
(And yeah: this is a me problem, how I lean on the tool, not the tool itself. Doesn't make the effect any less real.)

There is an ocean of context required for me to understand this insult.
Though I am humbled by the amount there is to learn in this world, I intend to use this insult daily.
Compilers are some of the longest-studied and programmed softwares. They are specifically designed, purpose-built and exceptionally tested. Most of all, they are deterministic.
Using the magic incantation box that sometimes tells you to bleach your pizza is not the same.
Interesting article on treating agent output like compiler output (and why)

ITT worst tech takes in a while.
I don't use Linux because I want to.
I use it because it treats me less like shit than Windows does. Windows has been signalling to me for a while that they don't want users like me.

Just want to make sure I'm reading this right: Microsoft rewrote the run dialog with performance "top-of-mind", and the best they could manage to do when putting up a single text box was 10fps?

Use this one weird trick instead and you'll see the magic:
"In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available"
Me, looking for the high quality software
Marc Andreessen: Software isn't precious anymore. In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available.
"We've always lived in a world in which software is this precious thing that you have to think about very carefully."
"It was really hard to generate good software, and there was only a small number of people who could do it."
"Those days are just over."
"If you need new software to do X, Y, or Z, you're just going to wave your hand and get it."
"Things that used to be hard, or even seem like an insurmountable mountain to get through, all of a sudden, I think, become very easy."

Started Final Fantasy 6 for the first time. Feels like a massive payoff for playing these in order. Been rad seeing how each one grows and changes from the last. But god 6 just shoots for the moon with what a 2D RPG can do. It’s so good.
16gb of RAM would actually be plenty for the majority of uses if software developers didn't stop caring about memory usage. Most of the past ten years of dev has been stitching together overbloated libraries for dev convenience.
