You cannot technically explain yourself out of UX issues, please stop trying.
So often I see users bring up UX issues, and programmers then tell them how much work it was to create their product.
It doesn't matter how much work it was!! What matters is if your target audience uses it or not.

ok. I gave someone else who uses Claude a 1 sentence problem involving Bezier curves in simple language that is obscure enough libraries don't bother with.
~30min I get back a 500 line numerical solution in js matching a recent-ish pure math paper that I can't find an implementation for anywhere.

Jaana was a distinguished engineer at GitHub and is now a principal engineer at Google.
I expect more testimonials from accomplished engineers about productivity gains of AI in 2026.
Engineers claiming AI tools don’t work well will increasingly look like a skill issue than a problem with AI tools

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

randomly decided to check back in on my old counter-strike skins for the first time in years a few weeks ago during the steam sale. very funny looking numbers. completely cleared out my wish list of mostly cat and fox platformers.
silliest and cutest trade i'll ever make. 10/10

Yes this is bad in the context of the greater We're Already In A Mild Recession And The Bubble Hasn't Even Burst Yet (bsky.app/profile/carl...) but
this, in isolation, is Extremely funny

New: The market for Counter-Strike skins fell $1.75 billion overnight -- that's 25%.
Investors dumped money into the digital item market amid concerns about the S&P 500 and crypto. Then, last night, Valve pushed a market-breaking update to the game
