Yup. Lots of depressed of these days.

Lots of people struggle with things like dishes, which makes things like cooking not realistic or fun option. And getting out of that rut is hard.

I’m flabbergasted at the amount of energy their occupation demands of them so much that it makes delivering naan and fries worth the cost in contrast to the time and energy savings it takes to get it yourself. Sounds like people are getting overworked or otherwise anxious. It’s not like people are doing it for the cost savings.

This is obviously a resounding win for the workers and customers, right?

Right?

as logical as a touchscreen blackberry with a physical keyboard and nipple, imho.

I actually agree with the premise that developers need to adapt and stay on top of how to use AI right

As a developer, no one asked for and no one cares about your opinion. I’ve been doing this shit for over a decade. I know how to ship good software. I’ve never had an engineering manager know more than architects or leads or seniors until they started demanding AI usage. Suddenly they knew how to make software. Well guess what, it’s shit. But you think we need to use it and adapt. Fuck off.

Gamers gotta buy compute tokens, too. Welcome to devops billing, gamers. The tech companies decided they’re done just taxing each other, time to tax you, too.

Targeting Gen X

Well, it’s reality. Billions of dollars of profit are going through this system that I’m the sole actual engineer on. A nationwide grocer, mind you.

same idiots who follow brands and lifestyle products

What metrics do they look at to know if the end of the world is going to happen? What historical context patterns do they look at? “actually” destroy the world as if they know what “actually” will destroy their worlds

The state of the american economy is a joke, yes, where it makes things like this probable

?? AI is nothing like a compiler 😂 Its just autocomplete. Compilers are deterministic btw. All good tools are. I dont want to play whack a mole with autocomplete.

I’m self taught. Didn’t go to uni. I can learn anything. That’s what makes me special. These ai people need it and literally cry when it’s gone. They’re pathetic.

I have to do the PRs for the rest of my team in india who are just using claude all day. That’s what my job turned into. A month ago I was writing code for features, today i’m watching the offshore team produce shit ai. Every person on my team left or was let go, and no replacements. Management literally told us no one is writing code anymore, and if they do, it will be tweaking claude output.

Real developer who has done programming every day for over a decade now. AI is shit. It’s bad.

Let’s just say i actually respect open source maintainers more than most ;)

Exactly, the unpaid volunteer should have done that, and if they did no one would be inconvenienced by the unpaid volunteers choice to stop volunteering. It’s the unpaid volunteers duty to think of others before themselves. They failed their duty. A completely unpredictable outcome.

Non corporate software doesn’t last when its just one person maintaining things. Cant expect one person to do everything unpaid. A shame that no one who depends on them can help out.

Yup, the unpaid volunteer shoulda did that. Oh well!
