After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.
I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness.

Slightly controversial opinion, but you need to deeply understand the platform you’re building on to build high quality software.
Everyone agrees in theory but not many actually employs this in practice.
You can’t build good web apps if you don’t know ins and outs of web browsers, APIs or HCI.

Wasted half a weekend trying to upgrade Ubuntu, because my webcam wasn’t working. After upgrade, audio was also not working.
In this year of 2025, it’s hard to believe this is still the typical Linux desktop experience.
The saga continued with trying to downgrade, which is basically a reinstall.

I love the fact that my cat can tell when I’m about to sneeze when he’s kneading me and stops purring. ♥️

In addition to all that, one thing that's great about delegating work to people is that people take responsibility. AI cannot.
So when you delegate work, you don't babysit people or their output. People own their work, hone their craft, and learn from mistakes.

I’m starting to think that being able to successfully code with AI is not a programming skill, but a managerial skill.
You have to write detailed specs, provide examples and be patient. You have to account for uncertainty and the task may not turn out the way you expect.
Except that it’s not.

Also, we know ‘AI’ companies chose anuses as logos, but did OpenAI have to double down and make its browser logo a butt plug?
I mean… what the fuck?

When people say that AI will be the great equalizer, I don’t buy it. Because AI is relatively cheap right now, but it won’t be forever, not after investors will start asking for their ROIs.
Then only rich will be able to afford AI, and the broken promise of empowerment of everyone will be apparent.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot, and your proposed solution sounds perfect to me. I hate it when a combobox loads results asynchronously and it changes just when you click something. But if it doesn’t respond in the first 250ms, the problem is largely solved! Let me think about this a bit more.
