It's the fastest way to build something if you're not a big html person.

I've never particularly been good at hmtl tbh. The older I get, the more I'm concerned with the ease of tools/frameworks vs what's the most optimal.

Now I might vibe code such things using React, but 5 , 6 years ago Flutter got me what I wanted fast.

Firebase integration is absurdly easy. You can make a crud app in about 30 minutes

I think LMMs have made it impossible for unlimited free repos for everyone to work.

No real reason to buy a Sony system anyway, PC will always win in the long run.

PC gaming lets me shop from Steam, GOG, etc.

I can't do any of that on a closed system.

I would rather have a right to unlock. Make it law that Sony can't prevent alternatives OS installation. Then when you get Arch running on a PS5 you can install Steam on top

It takes the fun out of this. I like JavaScript and Python. If I need to type system, there’s always type script and C#.

I don’t care about a bunch of memory management details, and if I ever want to I might as well use C++ and become a quant.

I learn a new programming language for one of two reasons, there’s a framework or engine that requires it. For example, Godot with GD script.

Or to make more money.

Python was a very happy mix of both, I learned it to work with ML libraries as a hobby and later found it pays a lot more.

But for people who either don't pay anything at all or phenomenal amount one 9 of up time is all you need.

If you're actually trying to run a business I guess you can call and gitlab and get an Enterprise contract

The six or seven percent of us that know how to use Linux will complain, but eventually I can even imagine bootloaders being locked down so much that you need to spend significantly more to buy a computer that actually lets you install what you want.

You’ll spend hours upon hours trying to get a free spot. And like anything free it’s full of spam.

Your free server will likely have a blacklisted ip address.

Oracle is exceptionally frustrating to use in the first place. Pay the 5$ a month and use AWS or Digital Ocean

The article doesn’t mention moving to another country, working a local job and enjoying it.

America is absolutely great if you get lucky and want to make a ton of money. I messed up, I didn’t do well on my Amazon or Meta interviews. But say I did 6 or 7 years ago.

Assuming I survived long enough for the 4 year vesting period I’d already have enough to retire. The world is full of safer and cheaper places,

No other country really offers this opportunity. My own career, dropping out of college and coding Unity games until I magically had a 6 figure career , is largely an American dream.

On the flip side, in almost every other developed country people don’t choose between medicine and rent.

Let’s say you have a chronic , but manageable health condition and a great job. You get fired in May, your wife files for divorce in September and you can be homeless by Christmas.

Now you’re in a shelter without the basic medic treatment you need.

Somehow it’s your fault. Tariffs destroyed your employers business, your fault.

If a bank needs a bailout golly gosh no expense shall be spared. A peasant can’t make rent this month, should have worked harder.

Combined with the prosperity gospel and if you suffer on the streets it means you made God angry or something. An infinite all powerful being and he’s upset you ate meat on the wrong day.

To be honest I dream of moving to a country where senseless stupid violence isn’t the norm. Maybe I’d have a kid and tell him that America is basically Disneyland if the rides occasionally derailed.

Actors will still be in demand, at least leads and most speaking roles. 3000 extras, that’s going to be AI.

My hope would be this allows for hyper small budget shows to rival what takes millions today. Maybe we can actually get some creative stories instead of Marvel slop fest 43

Coffee is very strong in taste and is like a wrecking ball in your mouth.

Habit. Been drinking Red Bull or Monster since I was a teen. In my mid 30s now.

CGI is so expensive only the most generic and safe sci fi movies get made. I want a 30k movie with amazing effects.

As for writing, AI is great at filler. But a lot of books are brought for Instagram photos and social validation. Not to be actually read.

Self help books are like this. Maybe a few are good. Many are slop to funnel you into buying other products.

But with AI telling us what to buy, how long until we have books written specifically for LLMs ?

I’m sure they’ll be absolutely gibberish, but you can still pose with them on Instagram?

Companies buying themselves over and over again.

How much of our so called economy is just moving money back and forth…

Looks like a recession indicator to me.

Who is going to fix it when the api does something weird ?

Who is going to proactively make sure it’s not overheating?

Chat GPT has enterprise contracts for a reason.

That another 400 to 700k.

It becomes your problem and not someone else’s. However, I don’t trust hosted LLMs for anything that needs to be private.

Set up a compensation fund for the rights holders. Anything is better than culture literally being sucked into the void.
