Amazons tokenmaxxing problems are of their own making and its their money. I fail to see how Amazons opinion on much of anything is that relevant.

Have you seen that website? While hocking sweatshop products is highly profitable, and their shipping empire is impressive if not destructive to retail shipping in general. I dont really view them as much of a software company.

But each company will need to decide how to usa AI and if they want to publish "deep thoughts" by Amazon, Inc, its a free country.

Personally, the people token maxxing to me are violating the ethos of what it means to be a software developer, so maybe they arent really software devs.

I cant sum it up in a short write up, but one thing true software devs are NOT is - sheep.

The ones that are can go back into real estate after the bust.

I would have preferred that it not have a UI at all and be more like curl on steroids.

I love that the house is on fire and Apple wants to drone on about "battery life". They have always been a company in denial but wow.

Its actually not. Most Tesla accidents are not reported as such. And thats a problem.

Teslas are death machines which should be treated as such.

This is really great, amazing. Thanks Proton for rolling this out.

The main bottleneck is the humanity I will apply to expunging it, ridiculing it, removing any dignity from it, exposing it, deleting it, removing it, marginalizing it, disabling it, sh* talking it, hounding it, disproving it and banishing it from every corner of every shop I work in, and every life circumstance I find it in for the rest of my natural life.

How can we be "more ambitious" when the quality of everything is so bad?

More ambitious would be valuing the software we write today more in terms of quality. Not using LLMs to generate more code so that we can do large amounts of largely unjustifiable work.

More ambitious could mean scrapping the lowest common denominator processes that enable bad software like scrum. Like corporate "code review" that is just a rubber stamp because noone cares. Like junior developers who refuse to learn and insist they are always right and force garbage code into the system. Like business people who instead of working with engineering teams engage in sidelong hacks to avoid the process.

The cultural/organizational/process/tooling forces that create bad/mediocre/barely passable (from all perspectives) software are everywhere.

Life sucks on software island. Because WE made it suck and we continue to LET it suck.

This conversation seems chock full of comments from ML experts. Im really impressed.

There are none. This industry is a joke on all of us.

I always found it wierd that people flocked to github. The app sucks, if I have to use it for work it infuriates me at nearly every turn with its sad excuse for UI. People like free sh*.

As for gitlab...yuck. But whatever. Most of the dev tool space is really just "sh* we have to put up with now", none of it is any good, all of it is dated from the early aughts, and taken as a whole is even worse because none of it works together.

While software development itself got better in the last ten years these tools stayed the same or got worse (enshittification). And this is part of why folks are self hosting.

The other part is that AI is destroying the Internet and its time to pack your bags anyway. The smart people already have.

AI news is the new IDGAF and needs a new website.

It was cute while it lasted. Felt gimmicky. Left after a while. I enjoy side tabs now. As soon as the AI started I jumped off. Didnt figure Ar would last long. I was right.

Its not surprising that this device is a frankenphone. What is surprising is that Apple bothered to come in so late to the game and that iPhone owners even care. There are perfectly good foldables in the world that the Duo and the next several Apple foldables (if apple doesnt go out of business because they cant buy RAM) cant touch for usability.

When Apple cant sell you the same exact thing over year after year, what you get is pretty rough.

Rug pull!!!! I love it

This is just current day LLM consumer conceit packaged as information.
