Oh the days of watching Silicon Valley and loving this crazy, but quirky but seemingly good intentioned industry to work in. Maybe this is who they always were, but either way, how many billions do these CEOs need in exchange for the good of society is the question I ask.

An authentic Steve Jobs demo presentation would generate 100x more excitement than this canned, blan, nearly AI boring level cringe presentation. I'll just wait for a YouTube review where an actual human you can relate to handles it.

Within a year or two when "good enough" models collide with personal hardware capable of running said models, it all inevitably collapses (and Apple stands on top of the pile of rubble with a construction hat on labeled: "told ya so").

You need an API. Then we can all get rich, at least for a little bit. Nice work.

I've been a rails centric developer for 10+ years and dabbled in React, but lately have felt "supercharged" in my domain, and doing side projects that are explicitly front-end React/Next.js, etc. For my primary job, I work in the enterprise where I'll use AI to assist but I'm still coding 50% there. I think you just need to resist the "letting it rip" and doing everything on its, where properly managed it's a great tool. Not to self-promote but the first ai-assisted next.js typescript project I did which was a revelation: https://flip.watch

I've been a remote engineer for about 10 years now, just over 50, enjoy programming but most of my friends have dropped off or gone crazy (trumpers) in recent years, and I never got married.
I recently took a local wheel throwing (pottery class), which was daunting at first, among a class of almost all females, younger, etc, but im 6 months in and literally just interacting with humans is one of the best parts of my week. Hobby is pretty cool too, so completely different than banging code all day.
Sometimes I don't feel like going after days of being alone and literally talking to no one, it puts you in a "zone" for sure, but then I go to the class, and you realize, at least imho, humans are social creatures. It's like food, we need that interaction or we whither and die.

I remember doing a report on this in high school in the late 80s. I'd love to do an order of magnitude comparison to a modern M4 Mac... Amazing how far we've come.

I think you need to be a bit more explicit in your usage. I use Claude Code as the plugin in Cursor, to me the marriage of all the great, tastes great, less filling. You see all the changes as you normally would in VSCode / Cursor, but the Claude Code command line UI is absolutely bonkers better than the Cursor native one. They really have it dialed in beautifully in my opinion.
