<p>The opposite is true for many of us. Having used various models, tools, agent orchestration etc.. All of these sensationalist posts of 'When I use Model X with Tooling Y I can build the world!' just don't resonate and it becomes draining to constantly have all this pushed through my eyeballs and having to filter it out.<p>LLMs have their uses but it isn't as great as everyone makes out to be nor is it as bad as others make out it is. Every week its X model has new SWE bench and is the best in class frontier blah blah - yet its actually just much the same as the week before. Quarter to quarter you could argue there is more of a diff between capabilities and performance but the LLM news cycle is much shorter than that.</p>

<p>> not like they changed anything significant about the product itself<p>They had already done this months ago, they changed the licence and stripped a lot of the code of their admin UI/object browser. So a lot of the features vanished for people overnight if they updated. This is what the OP is linked to - a fork at the point that they did this. This was work already done, feature already widely in use, they decided to take it out of what was available to the community.<p>So the product has significantly changed and offering had been reduced. That in addition to the stopping of publishing images - both without notice - caused a decent bit off community 'wtf'.</p>

<p>I am surprised Omarchy got such a large audience, DHH had already dropped an opinionated Ubuntu 'distro' - Omakub - but seemingly didn't gain popularity.<p>Even though I haven't used it, I don't mind Omarchy existing if it works. I had issues with omakub when I had tried it in the distant past.<p><a href="https://omakub.org/" rel="nofollow">https://omakub.org/</a><p>That said, I think a lot of peoples criticism of DHH and Omarchy is based on their personal opinions of DHH or that they don't like that an opinionated Arch variant is opinionated, which is a bit of a ridiculous criticism too.</p>

<p>Not sure on this one, Reddit is arguably the worst place on the internet and has a lot of oversight, is heavily curated. Part of the reason it is so bad in fact. The pendulum just swings the other way compared to X and 4chan.</p>

<p>I really don't understand the toxicity here.. People saying that 'you shouldn't do things just for recognition/gold starts/reward/cv/etc are insane to me?<p>Do they have jobs? If so, to make these kinds of comments imo they should be working completely for free. Salary is a form of recognition for contribution.<p>Personally, adding a co-author (even if the final solution ends up different to the one proposed, but the solution is based around the findings of the original solution) is such a tiny thing to do. I think the author has a valid point to moan about this.. it isn't the first and won't be the last instance of somebody feeling their contribution to something is going unrecognised.</p>

<p>This is a terrible attitude to have, some startups are cobbled together by 1 or 2 people and get off the ground, yet you are expecting them to have a team of at least 12 and additional retainer resource of lawyers and similar otherwise "they deserve to fail"?<p>In the real world, many businesses aren't created in the Silicon Valley by established founders and friends with VC funds, who can afford the time and cost to have all this.<p>Edit: To clarify, I am not saying that the things suggested are unimportant or not vital to an established business.. But that the bottom line for a brand new business with very few people involved is to survive and be stable enough to have the change of introduce backing on/off site, distaster recovery plans, paying for pen testing, security consultants, dedicated QA, etc.</p>

<p>Possibly, but at the same time I am fully aware that babel is used in almost all of the frontend nodejs projects I have been involved with. It isn't something hidden away, it's something you set up for a new project or likely see/configure a little from a templated/skeleton project.<p>So even from a development point of view, not an end user, I don't think its a far stretch to 'being used by millions of developers, and they know it is being used'.</p>

<p>In large organisations, with lots of tape actually getting the ball rolling on what is proposed with all the sign offs, funds allocated, people/resource allocated for the tasks.... It takes months, not weeks.<p>They probably published this off the back of a signed off proposal and may start implementing off the back of it early next year.</p>
