whateveracct··on AI Can Make You Suck Faster Too
it hasn't even been a year since Opus 4.5 and my work codebase is thoroughly ensloppified. From the top, the assumption is you don't edit it by hand. It was fine at first but hand editing is becoming more and more painful. LLM coding is a cancer in this way.

whateveracct··on GitHub Outage Tracker: Is GitHub Cooked?

whateveracct··on GIMP Development Update
Word is both simpler and more widespread. Also you'd be surprised. My boomer parents are not Word wizards lol.

PS isn't that much simpler or more intuitive now than back then. It's an inherently more complicated tool.

whateveracct··on Anthropic's War on open source AI
They should be removed imo. And repeat offenders should be banned.

? people take literal classes to learn Photoshop. I took a course at a rec center in high school in the 2000s and it had a bunch of adults learning it for work.
whateveracct··on Memory prices climb 500% in 12 months
what the heck

did you drop a '/s'?

whateveracct··on Incident with Github.com
seriously. if you are ready to scale, you are ready for that much. if that kills you, you had architecture issues that a company as big and established as GH shouldn't have.
