l337h4x0rz··on I used to be excited about new tech, but I rarely am anymore
- 90s: - video games were something truly new. before it, stories and fantasy was something to be enjoyed mostly through static medium. and games were the first medium that lets you interactively enjoy stories. - internet was something truly new. never before we get to connect with people by sharing things we create. and there's so many things were created out of genuine love and passion - late 2000s - social media were something truly new. it lets you connect with people and share things

every era brought something truly novel to the table. but then something changed mid 2010s. and it's not entirely megacorps' fault. it's also us customers. we didn't want to pay. and thus the business model that promotes enshittified services were born and now we have to live with it.

Agreed. Such is the duality.

At the start founders got the joy from making products that makes people happy. Then it inevitably evolves to chasing the dopamine of achieving larger and larger numbers based on some quantifiable metrics.

In my opinion tech used to be fun and we used to create products that actually empower people. Think MySpace, early-days Facebook, Soundcloud, Ableton Live etc. They exist to empower the masses to connect and to create.

Today the business model has made every products and contents to be enshittified.

We've optimised for the wrong thing and not only the common people hate the tech industry. Even I no longer feels the joy of working in tech.

l337h4x0rz··on YouTrackDB is a general-use object-oriented graph database
I played around with something similar before called typedb. It also does object oriented graph model which was a bit weird at first after using sql for a long time, but once it clicks there's a lot of thing that you could express surprisingly nicely

there's no newline between the shebang and the actual code
l337h4x0rz··on Show HN: BlitzGraph – Supabase for graphs, built for LLM agents
have never tried them before. do you have to configure/assemble these things? do you then run them as separate processes?

always loved myself a mechanical timepiece.
l337h4x0rz··on Show HN: BlitzGraph – Supabase for graphs, built for LLM agents
what makes you say that you're more suitable for agents compared to say neo4j and typedb? is it the temporal modeling?

congratulations for the beta by the way!
