Sounds very similar to my experience with Clojure. I think Elixir and Clojure are alike in that regard.

I've been following this project for a while, congratulations on the release!

Even though I don't have much use for PHP at the moment, I wish it finds a niche in the market and becomes widely used. Good luck!

AI has automated my favorite part of the job: coding.

Gone is all the experience in clean code, good idioms, etc. All replaced by easily generated shitty code that can be removed and generated again as we please, until it works. No thought about the quality of code itself. Some companies are straight up forcing programmers to live in Claude Code and never even see the code, just write the spec.

It’s disgusting. And the worst part is that you can’t opt-out. If you give even the slightest hint that you don’t like AI you’re seen as a Luddite and you’ll be put next in line for the upcoming layoff.

I thought I was the only one that noticed this and it was driving me insane. Can’t believe the experience is so sluggish, makes me miss KDE so much which is ridiculous.

>But I created $100k worth of code just yesterday recreating a poorly maintained (and poor ux) library.

How, exactly, are you calculating the worth of your code? Did you manage to sell in the same day? Why is it "worth $100k"?

>Being in a tight AI loop just wasn't part of the design of any existing programming languages.

I would dare to say that any Lisp (Common Lisp, Clojure, Racket, whatever) is perfect for a tight AI loop thanks to REPL-driven development. It's an interesting space to explore and I know that the Clojure community at least are trying to figure out something there.

>we know what a de-dollarized world looks like - imperialism

Is this some kind of joke? Or is it only imperialism when other countries besides the US do it?

It's getting very annoying to see posts that use ChatGPT as source, sadly it seems like this is the future.

Jesus, can't people have fun anymore? Does everything have to be "important for humanity"?

Do you listen to music, read books, have sex etc? I bet you do. And I also bet that you would find it pretty ridiculous if someone asked you why you do those things instead of helping humanity.

I don't know about you but I don't make anything even remotely close to six figures...

You know, there's a lot more to the working class than just manual labor. Anyone that depends on a wage to live is a worker, and we all share the same struggles.
