100%. It's almost like they jumped into it not understanding what they were signing up for.

I don't see how any sort of immortality can be supported by the infrastructure of the world. It's based on people dying, civilization has factored it in. How could you manage resources for populations that never disappeared? No immortal organism exists, I'm pretty sure Darwin already solved this question for us.

Maybe guard your investments, but the big question back then was "is the internet really that good, will it stick around" and the reality is it won argument hands down. The same thing will prove true about AI.

Agreed. Its a hair from victim blaming even though the victim is herself.

A business where the distinguishing factor was exclusivity not technical excellence so it tracks.

Url state should be descriptive not prescriptive. Either way it is important. Unfortunately my experience on several teams is that businesses never care about stuff like this but users do.

How is modern gimp compared to ps or affinity wrt photo editing? Thinking things like color correction, shadow highlights, maybe generative fill?

More TelemetryWare? No thanks!

The raw jquery version looks better to me: https://justpaste.it/3pz1n

Even the jquery version looks better: https://justpaste.it/3pz1n

But to keep in the good graces of our thought leader overlords, let's start solid or svelte.

There's a world of options away from React today that have those features. We can't pretend only React has them.

> For massive apps with 1,000 components on the same page, maybe React's complexity is justified.

Something is wrong if you need a 1000 components. Not everything has to be exposed as a component. Build something in lower level library and expose it as a react component. There's a real reason something like ag-grid has such a dedicated following.

The reality is Reacts abstraction has always been thin, which begs the question is it truly valuable. It's basically an application pattern masquerading as an abstraction. In 2025, there's no reason any thoughtful organization shouldn't investigate alternatives.

Im already doing "skills" via 1 mcp tool calling a db and its works fine

Not sure what skills adds here other than more meat for influencers to 10x their 10xed agent workflows. 100x productivity what a time to be alive

Agreed. Wondering what sort of discovery or design phase their legacy arch went thru.

Helps resumes! No one got to Staff suggesting bash scripts

"Anything that can be autogenerated by a computer shouldn't have to be, it can be automated"

Curious what you think of sub agents, don't they still consume a massive amount of tokens compared to simply running in main context? I'm skeptical of any process that starts massively delegating to sub agents. I'm on Pro and don't think its worth upgrading to 200 a month just to not pollute main context.

Honestly a lot of the time they seem to be be in "what do humans want?" mode.

Doesn't work if black box. You still have to inspect code performing the operation

Is there any precedent in US history for what the administration is asking of the nations top universities? Incredible they have to deal with this.

Figma MCP doesn't seem very useful at all and seem to me to compete with their newer prompt based builder. I think they're probably have their AI fork in the road. If they can't integrate these tools someone else will...

Which plugins have you compared? I think plugin devs of this generation are only target vscode clones because if it gives them coverage of vibe coders who are happy to pay even for dubious quality.

This is a very incorrect conclusion. Nothing about jquery prevented functional purity. If that's what you wanted, use it as such. Jquery just made browser differences much less of an issue and wrapped it in a nice way. The modern react stack is exactly what all the fp snobs raged against and they weren't wrong about it. Its been said before, there was jsf before react. Both are bad ideas. React has terrible performance is extremely heavyweight and ridiculous for what its used for. There's a reason there's a revolt nearly daily.

To me the major failing here was people over investing in faang thought leadership. Still haven't ever used react angular etc in a major project and gone wow this is great. JQuery got a lot closer. There were many other ideas coming forward around the time those frameworks came up, it was a fertileperiod for frontend. Sounds like we should cycle back.

AI is in a bubble like we don't need more than 16kb.

I agree with the idea that they will like it, but I don't think it will look anything like this. I imagine native AI generations willl produce content will probably be instrutable to anyone older, requiring meme translations. Maybe a channel can be an AI decipherer. Hah.

I've long thought that AI will force new distribution methods because old media is so markedly against it... Maybe this is another Netflix vs Blockbuster moment.

Holy crap this game beautiful. It's inspiring, in the way I used to feel when I first loved video games.

At some point medical equipment is certified in some way for use. Could the same happen for imaging AIs?

Until the cost of storage is 0, this is all still a thing.

The know it all engs were probably right though and you just added the self imposed productivity, performance, and TCO tax that everyone else adds by default
