If I ever manage to retire early - I'd like to spend time writing OSS for 🇮🇹 Italy / 🇪🇺 EU

more specifically making bureaucracy easier and more accessible to those who don't have a Law PhD

i have very mixed feelings

✅ Looks like Laravel/RoR but based on JSX, Web APIs and modern JS tooling (+ all the learnings from Remix and RR). Yes please.
❌ does not use React, which is understandable. LLMs speak React, + the ecosystem, the knowledge, etc. 🤔

Vibe coding:
1. does not make me faster
2. is not fun
3. does not make a better output than me

(but it has a small place in my workflow)

AI Assistant:
1. helps me workout best practices
2. finds edge cases I did not find before
3. helps in areas where I have shortcomings
4. is a good review fellow

Sometimes I scroll Twitter because some accounts I enjoy reading are there.

What a horrible experience it is.

- Conspiracy theorists and MAGA nuts
- AI "influencers" that really want you think they know something you don't
- Elon. he's everyhere, every two tweets, whichever tab you're in.

Thinking of the time someone wanted a refund on the course purchased 2 years earlier - because I'd made it public (2 years later)
Thinking of when a digital nomad "living" in Thailand thought he was entitled to a PPP discount because wages in Thailand are lower

This can't come soon enough

Between Typescript 7, Turbopack, Rolldown, etc. I'm hopeful we won't be needing beast CPUs for software development anymore in the future

Epic idea

Reason: AI is attracting a LOT of non programmers to my product.

They think they can ship without understanding the code - and in most cases this means angry customers, refund and chargebacks.

Many times, they make a substantial financial expense to buy a kit, when they should use OSS instead
