vercel apps really do have a reputation

it's downright exhausting to read claude, the language style was a regression imo.
that feels like they just blocked words like load-bearing but can't actually fix the real problem. The insane word slop density and run on sentences was the real reason it became annoying to work with claude, colored with way too many analogies and pointless linguistic comparisons.
Even if the ideas are of your own merit, you can't expect readers to always do the literary surgery it will take to identify that.That's extra investigative work and assessment that was never a part of anyones reportoire before all this took off. But at this point i don't think you should be surprised that AI writing isn't met with open arms, AI writing has become a pain point for a lot of people in their personal lives and their work lives, a lot of organizations are wounding themselves as people throw their ideas around curated in AI and everyone's eyes are glazing over. It's become synonymous with "this guy does not understand the claude proposal he just sent me". And the choice is yours if you still want to use it knowing that, I just don't think you should be surprised if it doesn't get the reception you hoped for.
Plus, you should lean into whatever your monologue is to write. Even if you're afraid it's not pro enough, like. That's writing. It's a journey it has crossover with your ability to communicate it defines you as a person. Keep sharpening that tool and you have untold ways to convey ideas exactly the way you want people to experience them for the first time.
somehow that experience eclipsed microsoft teams. i suppose thats unsurprising
sql is an interface query way to talk to databases, and treating things as datasets where their initialization query lives in a certain spot that flows into something generic/typed or whatever so that it can be wrangled elsewhere in the code with its own bespoke guarantees and handling behaviors is fine i think
i think i just don't think seeing sql in code or near code is a bad thing at all, to me it just means this code talks to a database and its using the database dialect/language to query the data. maybe people see string replacements over the query to apply variables or whatever as a bad thing i dunno, I think it's a relatively simple way to look directly at how a query might be dynamically adjusted on the fly. i dont have to like step through the lineage of methods and whatever other abstractions to formulate _how_ it put a query together. it's definitely annoying that there's some wild west feel to having so many dialects of sql, but it's a hard bet to make that you're going to make a better sql in 11 lines of code. SQL looks different than code because it is different, it's entire function is different, different paradigms are at play it's specifically purposed for querying and it excels at that on every front.
Just feels kinda gross for people to champion the "Doubt all you want but the tech will get better" when a lot of people who don't deserve to be screwed are literally going to be screwed when that day comes. Even with Waymo, like yeah. Cool, car drives itself don't have to talk to a driver sure great. I personally don't feel like it's worth displacing an entire industry of people who don't have other jobs to go to, but some people love to not think about that stuff because futurism. If I call a lyft/uber like both of those aren't my favorite companies at all but I understand the position people are in that work these jobs and it's not a perfect arrangement but I summon them anyways and always treat my driver well and tip well.
The _only_ robotics I'd be in here championing "haters gonna hate, itll get better you just wait and see!" is laundry folding machines. I'm annoyed that we're draining lakes over AI, throwing darts on dartboards of low paying wage jobs and spending millions on building robot automation to get rid of them, instead of perfecting the at-home laundry folding machine. Why can't that just be like a global race man I hate folding laundry.
bring back lan parties, aol instant messenger and throw the current platforms into the sun
i don't doubt deregulation on clearcutting as well as removing land ownership and no logging in national forests & protected lands.... are around the corner with this admin. feel like they attempted that during his last term with attempting to disgrace park rangers over wildfires and saying they didn't rake the leaves on the ground or whatever.
good dx, cross platform, fast, not ugly.
pick i dunno 2 or 3.
tui's get to check 2 or 3 of these just like any other gui library. somehow there still isn't a silver bullet here.
now i personally don't build tuis but guake style dropdown simple command and i have some other thing someone made open immediately running in ghostty? hell yea. with that said yes there are some stupid tuis out there that are anything but simple.
