One thing I see is design often getting worse, tasteless, how small but important details are just not thought out.

> I regularly see people claim that they are now 10x more productive with LLM code generation, and I just wonder where all the code is.

Perhaps the biggest issue hasn't been the speed of development all along but people working on wrong things, hence why progress isn't as evident. LLM helping to build something that isn't needed faster isn't going to productivity more visible.

The difference is in office work it happens by inertia whereas socializing outside requires practicing agency.

There are already plenty of SaaS that offer open source version as a way to push to the cloud and charge for hosting, maintenance, support and some extra features. In that way, a working code have already been commoditized and those companies didn't disappear.

This. First I try it just a little to do a boring part. It feels great. The boring part that was holding me is gone and all it took was a little instruction. The dopamine hit is real. So of course I will try it again. But not so fast. It needs to be corrected to make everything aligned with the architecture. And as my requests get bigger, it needs more and more corrections. Eventually correcting everything becomes too tedious, and accepting is just too easy, and so I lower my standards, and soon enough lose track of all the decisions. The branch is now useless as I don't want to debug or own this code I no longer understand hence I start over. I want work to felt like a training session where you get fairly rewarded for your efforts with better understanding, not like a slot machine where you passively hope it gets it right next time.

How about: internet that is actually decentralized.

I had to use Borland when studying but never really liked it. Later I tried Notepad+ with console for the first time and everything clicked. There is a console for compiling and running and there is a text editor for editing. It was the flow that made sense.

Database is one of those places where it's justified, I think. Application containers do not need the same level of care hence are easy to run yourself.

Just curious, what libraries did you miss in particular compared to Go?

Not sure about windows but I solved it for myself with basic provisioning script (could be an ansible playbook also) that installs everything on a fresh linux vm in a few minutes. For macos, there is tart vm that works well with arm64 (very little overhead compared to alternatives). Could be a rented cloud vm in a nearby location with low latency. Being a neovim user also helped not to having to worry about file sync when editing.

With such constraints, it should also be possible to compile it into a native binary, and then it is very similar Crystal.

Sadly, the typography looks too neglected for the time when there is such an abundance of templates and fonts.

Sounds like social coaching has all the attributes of an untapped business niche. The question is, if there is just a obvious pain, why there is such a shortage of solutions. I think it could be because of the stigma associated with this issue or because people affect by it lack genuine interest in solutions as people are usually happy to pay for all kinds of self-improvements.

I think it needs to know every conversation that happened in the company to provide meaningful feedback that is above generic coding suggestions. But then it makes onboarding new people and getting them familiar with the project much easier. Businesses will have a lot of incentives to do that.

So they lie about estimates because they afraid to miss their chance to delivery buggy mess. But doesn't it do more harm to the reputation in the long term?
