We have a business relationship so no we shouldn’t have any sympathy. They sell a service and they’re failing to provide it.

No idea what’s this supposed to be… AI really accelerated pointless projects…

Because they have the power to insert themselves in places like these. It's a bigger problem. There are places in which companies with Microslop's level of quality have no business to be, but they're already there.

This sounds dreadful and boring. Like who's interested in writing AGENTS.md...?

> After about 3-4k lines of code I completely lost track of what is going on, and I woudn't consider this code that I have written, but adding more and more tests felt "nice", or at least reassuring.

> There was a some gaslighting, particularly when it misunderstood dap_read_mem32 thinking it is reading from ram and not MEM-AP TAR/DRW/RDBUFF protocol, which lead to incredible amount of nonsense.

> Overall I would say it was a horrible experience, even though it took 10 hours to write close to 10000 lines of code, I don't consider this my project, and I have no sense of acomplishment or growth.

Ah yes, we can now mass produce faulty code, we feel even more alienated from our work, the sense of achievement gets taken away, no ownership, barely any skill growth. Wonderful technology. What a time to bring value to the shareholders!

There never was a career path for a vibe coder. Vibe coder won’t be a thing in a year. There’ll be a new, meaningless term though.

> I know that AI will make it possible for others to do so, even if they drop the ball.

Seems you completely miss the point of Miyazaki's work. You can watch a video of Miyazaki watching an AI generated animation and see what he think about generative "art"[1].

I get being optimistic but there’s a lot of ethical considerations that we’re choosing to ignore. The result is techno feudalism.

Sure AI can help me with small things but it’s weird to be the guy preaching the gospel. In the end this is a product, sold by people who have more power than a single person ever had. They can do the marketing and hype, my interest lies in staying skeptical, especially in the incoming storm of AI generated misinformation or wave of students getting through university by cheating with AI.

might it be because the author is making a new version for no starch press?

I guess it depends. Podcasts are often about story telling and story telling isn't about being information dense. Podcasts are hamburgers, which might be a good vehicle to deliver a piece of a vegetable into your body.

I think the most important part is that if you're bad at articulating your ideas, AI tools will keep you in that place. You've basically given up on improving and you choose to be represented by the AI's level in the future.

Has this been written by AI?

I'm sorry but it's just noise.

> Even if you do all this and still get fired, it's not about your skills. It's just how things work sometimes. But if you've built up AI skills, side projects, and a deep understanding of your industry, you're in a strong position to start something of your own—freelancing, consulting, or even launching a startup.

"just how things work sometimes" - very insightful. Fired? Then you're in a great position to launch a startup!

Well... that's a very 2025 sentence...

You can prefer many things, but yes, it's unlikely there are people for whom listening two people talking is a good way of learning.

Unlikely. It's just that our brains are so fried by our smartphones/social media/24h of news/media consumption that we've lost the plot.

Sorry for not discussing the product itself, but...

I'm just not seeing a machine that is "likely correct", constantly interrupting the "operator" to be that much of a win. I have seen some software influencers reflect on how much more fun it is to code, after dropping the LLM assistant.

All of these feel like offerings to the Productivity God. As a salary guy I'll never get excited that I can do more during my work day. It's already easy to hit my capacity.

> Allocating budge to partnerships and influencer marketing: yes! The smart marketers are already doing this. Also: community building. Anything that creates an environment of trust & where people interact with experts.

Ehhh... why does it always sound so dishonest when marketing people talk about these things? "community" is just a tool for you. "environment of trust" is just leverage to you. Alex Jones is an "expert" in the world of marketing, since he's selling some crap supplements.

You're just finding ways to pry open our brains, and everything is on the table. This post reads like an ad. Maybe it is? Maybe that's how you talk on daily basis?

Yeah I also don't get it. Python is great and I really like it, but it never feels like a good choice for an app that runs 24/7 for years to come. So many wasted CPU cycles.

and what's exactly the purpose of that philosophical angle?

Discord's UX feels quite bad. It's overwhelming and readability is bad. That'd be my biggest complain when it comes to "complexity".

Yeah but what if I don't want to use it?

Truth is that no one has the luxury to make that choice because everything is seen through the lens of productivity. It's the productivity that makes making art faster "good".

It sucks so hard that the choice is: either get on board or become irrelevant.

People have every right to complain about art, for many reasons. It's not comparable to Photoshop.

Nitpick (or is it?) but the website is soulless and just bad. The website design communicates that this is just another immature project, desperately looking for a VC funding, just following modern design trends where "design == aesthetics". Yuck.

I am happy to see the project thrive.

What you're saying is that it's not for you? Cool story, bro.

Is it something that's aimed at a specific problem I have never encountered or is it something that can improve everyone's workflow? It feels like it's something closer to git + mailing lists than typical PR workflow, which I do find interesting because PRs are... a lot of unnecessary work. But this has to be better than mailing lists, right?

This article is a bit all over the place. It doesn't really support it's own thesis - interesting topic nevertheless.

I actually do believe we have a quantity problem. There's a lot of good stuff when it comes to movies, music, games, media in general. AI might skew proportions towards "junk food" but I already don't have enough time to enjoy the "good stuff".

It might just be nostalgia, but it feels like we used to chew through new media. We had space to think about it. Now everything moves so quickly. I wonder if we can even see it in less fandom communities - no one stays long enough on a single thing to build a devote fan base around it (maybe that's actually good...). Great movies are a thing for a few weeks and then they're gone. Do we still have artists like Queen, Prince, Metallica? Can any artist expect to be relevant for more than a few years?

We produce so much nowadays. It used to be that an artist worked on their craft because they wanted to express something. Now you might witness an artist working on their craft, peak on social media (or on Netflix or Bandcamp) during that development stage and disappear before they ever reached the point of wanting to say something.

Maybe its just getting older, nostalgia, overwhelm relating to tech moving so fast.

You don't need further justification if you just agree that using Rust makes everything automatically better... somehow... and you need to agree with it without evidence.

Looks great. What's up with Kullish? Seems to be down

Why? What's so special about it?

We're running a lot of CI on our custom runners. The fact that it runs in the OS context is a bit meh. If someone has a good resource on setting up docker on a RPi for a custom runner, please throw it my way.

I tried to use it to login somewhere and apparently the typing node types "emailyahoocom", instead of "email@yahoo.com"... weird.

But generally this is a very nice project.
