Programming makes a lot of talented people useful, and the world doesn’t care too much about talent unless it’s a talent at sports or a talent at sticking it to other people.

Finally it has become one giant commercial with an occasional football break. And so many still watch it.

I know of an artist that drew peoples’ houses for a living and had been doing it for decades. People were very proud to hang his work in their actual homes. https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/surveys/chicago/glessner-...

Guests book homes they've never set foot in. Photos give them a feel for the place, but not how the home fits together. Now hosts can walk through their space with an iPhone and get an interactive 3D floor plan in minutes.

It was so nice recently to come back to ST after several years of increasingly bloated IDEs. I should probably (finally) pay for it.

This reads like someone who can’t make smart bets “before it’s obvious.”

Lots of VCs out there still taking big gambles on the agendaless and unproven ideas.

Someday I hope to become a person who can find the time and brain space for glue, paint, etc.

New comment by mikeaskew4 in "What my dad taught me about AI coding in the 90s"

mikeaskew4 — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:00:27 +0000

My dad just had a computer around and looked the other way when I spent all night on it. And I learned chess on my own.

This may not be the argument Mike makes here, I have always felt that seeing the board and not knowing what it means is more valuable than knowing everything about it without seeing it.

If you’re drowning, who do you want to save you, the lifeguard who can’t read or the author of the book on water lifesaving techniques who can’t swim?
