I’m still sour about my first and only SO question attempt.

After such a long time user, here I was, finally interacting with the community. My first question. I spent at least an hour composing it. Something about Django and Celery. Then came the mods. Crushed my dreams. I tried editing the question. Crushed again.

And I remember thinking, wtf? I’m just trying to ask for some help. Why is this so damn hard? Never tried again.

Well, they won the race on confusing the shit out of us with model names.

Honest question. Not trying to offend any css fans here.

Why would someone use this nowadays instead of just using AI? To me the purpose of these small css frameworks was to have a nice consistent UI quickly. What is the value of these frameworks now?

A computer used to be a person, not a machine. And their job was to perform long and tedious calculations by hand. Until they were replaced by machines.

Programmers face the same fate. Coding as a job is dead. Nobody is gonna pay you a super high salary so you can sit at home comfortably, with your headphones on, and just code in your favorite typed language.

Supermarkets in the Netherlands were also hit. Seems like a Russian linked attack.

I’ve been a happy paying JetBrains customer for 10+ years. This year I decided not to renew. It’s just not worth it anymore. I don’t spend as much time as i used to in an IDE. And their AI offerings are not so great. I gave Junie a solid try, but it was always too far behind the competition. I gave Air a solid try, but it was full of bugs. I wish them the best, and I hope they can find a solid product again in this new era.

Sir, I’m 40 and I’m already at the stage of not wanting to do any programming. I used to love this stuff. But after watching all my favourite companies and CEOs turn to greedy villains… I’m just done. How do I survive another 35 years doing this stuff?

Oh how the middle class hates having to share with the poor.

We don’t mind the rich flying private jets, but for the love of god don’t put a poor person next to us on a plane.

Dammit, I don’t think this is going to be as popular as the Steam Deck at this price. I hope they don’t shelf it and I can buy this in a few years for a reasonable price once the big AI labs go bankrupt.

Really cool. Good move on writing your own stack. I was weighing using ros2 or building our own, but ended up going the ros2 route to “save time”. We are working with autonomous mobility robots in nature, so we figured the ecosystem around ros2 would be worth the compromise. It was not. All the time we saved setting things up initially, we are paying for now.

There should exist a minimal, clear, robotics library like what you’ve built. The Flask of the robotics world.

The core advice of the book is to smile, flatter, avoid all criticism, and feign “genuine” interest. People can sense this performance from a mile away. It is a dated, salesy, conflict-averse (to the point of dishonesty) way of communicating. It is too surface-level to address real, sustained relationships.

I too read the book in my younger years, and it helped me a lot with making friends and my career. However, the book itself is filled with some terrible advice for communicating with people. I realized that as an older person. But as a young person it filled me much needed confidence. Like many of these books, the actual advice is crap, but I think it gives people the confidence they need to change something in their lives they are not happy with.

I highly recommend the podcast: If Books Could Kill. They have an episode on this book.

If you set a breakpoint inside any engine method in the Sources tab and then do something like:

this.state.treasureEffects.cannonCooldownS = 0

Then you can easily cheat.

Is there any way around this?

Really cool! I love well created web games.

I guess you can describe me as anti-AI. I use AI everyday to write code. I can’t deny that it makes me more efficient. And there’s pressure from the people that pay my bills to produce more and more with it. But I still hate it. I hate the code it writes. I hate what is turning my job into. I hate the main companies behind it. I hate all the resources being poured into it. I hate that most of the real profit and benefits from it will just go on to make more delusional tech billionaires the likes of Zuckerberg and Musk instead of actually being distributed somewhat fairly amongst all of us.

But yeah, I can vibe code the same crappy app as millions of other engineers in a weekend. And we will all pay Apple $99 a year to upload the same crappy app to the App Store hoping to catch some of that AI-wave money.
