I am sorry I hurt you, or confused you. See, the intention of my post was to convey how bad of a programmer I will be and how badly I would vibe code their software that they lose all their money. Because I am not a huge fan of hedge funds. Or anything that makes the 1% richer. It was meant as a joke not a job request.

I would prefer hedge funds and traders to vibe code their software. Heck I am willing to do it if I mist.

Now why would you make such a monstrosity? Audit logs? I was having good day till now.

Thank you

I made the mistake of switching to an iPhone 17 from an S24. The phone had a problem so I thought why not try the famous UX of iOS? I had issues but I found the solution.

I barely look at notifications anymore, it’s useless, does not group by app, can’t take any actions from there. Even if you open the app, the notification remains, so it’s just clutter at this point.

Clipboard does not exist.

Chrome sometimes when opened, opens up the address bar and there is no close button, I need to navigate away from the page I was on, or refresh. So I switched to safari, good job google.

The biggest annoyance would be the back button or rather the lack of it. Every app does it somewhere different. It could be a left swipe in some apps, a back button on top left, a tick box on top right. There is no mental model you can rely on.

Then I realized I am using it wrong. iPhones were never made for people like you or me. We just wants to finish our work as soon as possible. We zoom through multiple apps and get things done. iOS is for toddlers/old people and technologically challenged crowd. We need to think like them.

So I treat the notification shade just like other users, glance and ignore. No need to manage it or clear it.

Clipboard are needed when you copy multiple things. That’s because you want to paste multiple things. You are trying to do too much at the same time. Think of the most “simplest” person you know, they wouldn’t do what you’re doing. So I stopped doing that.

Back button was only an annoyance when I either used non-apple apps or do things fast. Again doing things fast is not what your simple friend would do. They would take time and each action, press, swipe would be deliberate, not careful yet confused.

Basically stop trying to be a smart person while using an iPhone. You might be a wizard in front of a terminal. iOS is designed for a large and specific set of audience and I truly respect Apple for catering to them. Most corporations like Google or Microsoft will try to teach their users and make them something they are not. Apple accepts them as they are.

This comment has a lot of grammar mistakes which I am frankly not going to fix. The apple keyboard is terrible to go in between words and sentences to edit them. But the target audience would never do it anyway and Apple proudly supports their decision by not improving the keyboard. I think that’s a noble thing to do.

Anyone else get a clouflare error 1035 when trying to visit the tweet?

MSIX is what ships on the store. And some devs just use it as an installer as well. By the way aren’t MSIX installed apps sandboxed?

> No, It is Linux's severe failure that it lacked a singular, stable, and unified userspace GUI API.

Careful, some people are too hell bend on idealogies than making a reliable product. They'd never understand this.

This is one of the reasons why open source (free as in beer) will never work for anything serious. When my work depends upon a software someone made for free, there's an unnecessary power dynamic in play where since I didn't pay for it, they can rugpull me anytime. Before someone comes with the argument of forking, that's not how an economy works. I can't be the farmer, the truck driver, the salesman and sometimes even the buyer at the same time.

The kernel doesn't owe anything to the distros, which is insane, distros doesn't owe anything to the various libraries and vice versa, none of them owes anything to the application developers. It's a boat where each person is rowing in their own direction because they don't care what others does with their code and they don't have to. Because they are working for FREE®.

The effects of this is catastrophic. Everytime I try to switch, I can't find a single userspace application that works half as good as windows applications. People need incentives to make their work good, no one does anything for free. Free just means it sucks.

If microsoft/apple/google tomorrow releases their own distro, every single one will abandon their flavor of the week arch/ubuntu/mint/fedora for that one. One that's made by people in exchange for money. I bet the ubuntu developers use macbooks.

Wow that pr itself looks amateurish. I reported this a while ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47958353

> What I mean by "live within your means" is to spend less than you earn.

I see where you are coming from, I genuinely take it in good faith. There's just this constant pressure to be this or that at certain stages of our lives, especially in the asian culture I am part of. I've managed to avoid these all my life but lately I've been falling for it as well.

> I have been in poverty in my life, and I feel fortunate that we were able to escape it.

Genuinely happy to hear this. :) It gives a lot of hope.

> I have my own theories, but I'd be happy to know yours

It's a cultural thing, I have friends who haven't married yet because they feel they can't afford a family with their current circumstances. Here marriages are a family thing, so the parents need to approve. And no father or mother will send their daughter to such a person when they have more options available to them. You could live the frugal life or the glamorous instagram life people are brainwashed with. Everyone is running in a constant state of survive or die mentality because no one has a safety net to fall back to.

I am not saying all are like that, there are independent strong women/men but they are dime a dozen.

Ah yes, forgot about Civil/Mechanical/Electrical. These I believe are foundational disciplines.

What you see is the happy side of things, of a particular section of society, packaged in a way to make the viewers feel good and not sad. They’re either too poor and uneducated or too rich.

Most of us, educated, are aware of the fact that we are one medical emergency away from being bankrupt.

> No, you just need to live within your means.

I politely disagree. Means for me personally includes not worrying about healthcare, losing a job, unexpected expenses, affording the facilities to participate in society rather than becoming a travelling nomad. It’s easy to be blind to your own blessings, even more so if you have already lived a life. These are life goals for people of my generation in my country.

People, educated ones, are no longer marrying. Guess why?

You know there’s an upcoming generation of developers who are so jealous of you? Not your fault or anything.

We managed to make the latter irrelevant or by no means a high earner.

Everything is expensive, tech took over all the jobs, now tech itself has found ways to end those jobs. You either have to be a medical professional/media person now to live without worry.

UPDATE: It was the inline suggestions. If you use it to fill at least a character or word it will decide that it owns your code now.

I accepted a typo fix in a changelog while correcting it. Appears as tab to autocomplete for those unaware. Still seems like a reach.

Found the culprit it was the inline suggestions. If you use it to add a single comma to the code it will decide it has part ownership of your commit now.

Maybe you are right. I could have sworn this happened without me using autocomplete.

In your git commits as “Committed by USERNAME and Copilot”.

The thing is it doesn’t even say anywhere this is being done, I only realised it after a PR was raised.

I found blip works better on ios and windows. Not losing transfers midway like localsend.

Is this only for vibecoders who work alone?

If I am working on a real project with real people, it won’t have the complete memory of the project. I won’t have the complete memory. My memory will be outdated when other PRs are merged. I only care about my tickets.

I am starting to think this is not meant for that kind of work.

The year is 2026 the average RAM for the most common type of developer’s (web) machine is 16GB. 8 will be the lower end. Tell me which model can one run on this machine locally?

If they must scam, shouldn’t they be deduplicating on the server rather than the client?

> Do you need it for job hunting for example?

God I hope you are being funny. Why else would anyone install this crap?

If we are bring reductive, the grand theft auto games were drive here, shoot that kind of deal. Call of duty was shoot till objective completes until 4 came around. Those never felt repetitive to me because there was a story going on, there was a deep lore to the characters and places in the map and those were changing with me.

I can still replay them to completion. Feel relieved when help arrives after securing the little hill after normandy beach in call of duty 2. It takes so long but it’s worth it.

I’ve only ever felt the core gameplay loop repetitive on strategy games where every new challenge is the same one as last but bigger with a more complex inventory if that makes sense.

I don’t think this is the right way to see this.

Why should a file backup solution adapt to work with git? Or any application? It should not try to understand what a git object is.

I’m paying to copy files from a folder to their servers just do that. No matter what the file is. Stay at the filesystem level not the application level.

I want to agree with you but when was this ever true?

Even the website follows anthropic’s piss yellow design.

Seeing all the reactions here, I can tell apart those of us who grew up in the wild west of the internet and those unfortunate to grow up in a vendor controlled, app world.

That's just shifting the problem not solving it.

You're both right. AI can be used to do either fast releases or well designed code. Don't say both, as you're not making time, you're moving time between those two.

Which one you think companies prefer? Or if you're a consulting business, which one do you think your clients prefer?
