Sometimes people ask questions because they just want to talk to someone. I want to suggest that this is important and something we should make space for.

I think that's also why there is a lot of nostalgia and love for "shitposting" ... it's just pure human interaction without a lot of […]

I will bury you in poor copies of your dreams

Ik zie er al 2 jaar en 18 dagen niet ziek uit. Ik kan niet werken, niet sporten, niet naar koor, en moet dagen leeg plannen om bij te komen als iemand drie kwartier op bezoek is geweest.

Er is geen behandeling. Er is na volgend jaar geen budget meer voor […]

667 dagen in het donker: hoe postcovidpatiënten uit de maatschappij verdwenen
Ze leven achter gesloten gordijnen, aan bed gekluisterd. Voor de allerziekste postcovidpatiënten in Nederland is er nog steeds geen passende hulp of zicht op genezing. Vier van hen gunden ons een blik...

I think the basis for this misunderstanding is the belief that LLMs are a new abstraction for coding, but as I've said before I think that is totally wrong framing here. Code generation does not equal a programming abstraction.
