Can't relate. The whole point is to build products and drive value for the customer. It was never to enjoy writing the code. Writing the code was actually the easy part.

You are making quite an assumption here.

Bootstrap was a twitter os library that is still in development today.

Why does it suck that shopify got them? They seem to be a good steward of open source, especially with rails.

You know what would also help traffic congestion? Allowing people to work from home.

Has the added benefit of reducing gas prices (less demand) and less greenhouse gas emissions.

I can't stress this enough -- boycott all meta products.

Delete them off your phone. You don't need insta and whatsapp.

Starve the demon of your data.

There were may companies that announced layoffs and cited ai as one of the factors: Amazon, Oracle, Meta, Microsoft, Block, Salesforce, Cisco, Cloudflare, Atlassian, Coinbase, Snap, GitLab, Monday.com.

Both founders of Anthropic and OpenAI have talked about how AI will replace many jobs, and did so with a sense of doom and urgency.

And yet...they are (pikachu face) surprised that people do not want data centers (which will increase utility costs for consumers) and graduates boo tech leaders at commencement ceremonies?

Tech leaders are clueless.

I found this one funny.

> But for CLI, it never made sense to me. Especially when Python and Go exist.

But why? Not saying node is better, just want to know where you are coming from for my own knowledge.

Bc I would have picked typescript + node too. It has types (where python just has type hints) and a lot of developers know it already (where go is more niche).

npm as a distribution tool works well and typescript has types.

Any reason why it should not be written in nodejs?

Writing code was never the job. Creating value was the job -- coding was just how to implement that goal.

I used to have hi hopes for linkedin, that it would replace the resume and make the knowledge labor market more efficient. Instead, it became more like tiktok with the short form thirst trap girly boss "content" and hollow linkedin influencers posting ai slop. It just became more noise, but more "corporate."

X and insta are my go to social networks now.

Most people can't tell the difference. Entertain the possibility that you might be one of them.

Amazing that someone could be held in detention without even committing a crime. We are going back to pre magna carta and pre habeas corpus medieval justice. A lot of innocent people died in those times.
