Thanks, I was on the fence but downloaded StreetComplete yesterday and made a couple edits in my neighborhood. Still need to install StreetMeasure and some parts of the UX I still need to get used to. I was surprised by the low number of contributors in my country though.

Black Mirror vibes

I see what you did there :)

I loved reading this, thanks for sharing your take

These kind of articles are becoming unreadable

I took the time to read this article last night, just wanted to let you know it was a great read. I liked the topic, the research you did and the writing style as well.

The enthusiasm described by the author feels familiar! Every once in a while I send emails to 'random' people without expecting too much. During covid I emailed a C64 developer why a certain enemy type from one of his games in 1986 had a certain name. He responded a few days later with a lengthy and in-depth explanation.

Last week I saw and photographed a sticker with street art near my office. I tried tracking down the artist (he was from a neighboring country), found him and tried to find some contact info. I emailed him if he knew how his art reached my city. He answered that the art piece on the sticker was something he created 30 years ago for a festival and that - apparently - an unknown person made stickers using his art.

Sending a short email does not take a lot of time, but it's very rewarding when the other party answers.

While I do agree with the content, this tone of writing feels awfully similar to LLM generated posts that flood some productivity subreddits recently. Are there really people who "spend weeks planning the perfect architecture" to build some automation tools for themselves? I don't buy that.

Commenter's history is full of 'red flags': - "The real cost of this complexity isn't the code itself - it's onboarding" - "This resonates." - "What actually worked" - "This hits close to home" - "Where it really shines is the tedious stuff - writing tests for edge cases, refactoring patterns across multiple files, generating boilerplate that follows existing conventions."

Why would you say something like that?

Looks like it. Even sites like isup.me seem to be down, lots of cloudflare error messages across the net

Archive.is doesn't work on all sites to bypass the paywall. Media companies that are truly concerned about this should modify their paywall configuration.

An Bob Ross-like painting with "tiled faces of Nic Cage" would be awesome!

That's actually a good breakdown. I was aware of AI trying hard to 'build report', but your examples show that it's even more subtle than I realized myself.
