What a ridiculously negative comment. Obviously ragebait, but I'll bite anyways.

Did you forget that until five minutes ago humans used to read the code? And they needed to understand it? Yes, there was an actual desire for great Ruby-like syntax without the implications of using it, like its performance characteristics and the need for an interpreter.

Yes, it didn't go mainstream. Should we all abandon every project we've ever worked on because they're not "relevant"?

Sorry, but no. This is not true. It definitely was hard. So hard that few people actually made games. I remember using GAS (Unreal Engine) and being baffled by the complexity of the framework. And then when I didn't use GAS, I was baffled by the complexity of what it handled. It's hard.

> The days of techies gatekeeping these experiences are over.

Why do people keep using the word "gatekeeping"? "Techies" made open source. Anyone could have taken the time to learn what they wanted, the tools and the resources were available.

The disdain for tech will always baffle me. Yes, this stuff is hard. A lot of it requires a certain level of skill. Even now, you still require some level of skill to get good results.

I found 5.6 Sol to be extremely underwhelming.

I think this whole "that half" and "this half" thing makes it significantly harder to hold people in the government accountable. I know plenty of conservative people who think the corruption in the government is out of control.

Err... the harness I'm building works just fine with Google APIs.

I'm currently working on a harness and I just integrated Antigravity support through `agy`. I can't risk my main Google account getting banned so it looks like I'll be stopping this immediately. Yikes... and I was feeling good about 3.8 Flash too...

I'll use both Muse Spark and Grok.

Switched to Arch Linux with GNOME. Whenever an issue comes up, I have an AI agent look into it and it gets done. Worth it to get off of Windows.
