I get excited for the things I built. I built them for my clients and I love that clients are genuinely happy with what I built for them. And then I send an invoice which is followed by a payment. I love that too, I love both.

I dont't love doing some obscure integration of an API that should have been dead years ago but somehow still lives. I don't like squishing bugs because something doesn't work when the Sun is in the third house of Uranus on February 31st. Those are technical problems I don't like solving.

My point is that you and I both love something else and that is totally fine. But I'm not sure if you can keep making money with only solving technical problems.

And very important: there's no dark algorithm that shows a different view each time you go back to HN. It is sometimes boring but the good kind of boring.

But LinkedIn has become one of the worst kinds of social media. I mean, it's full of AI grifters, people starting posts with 'I wasn't going to post this but [continues with a dumb post]' and lately even a lot of obituaries. Everybody on LinekdIn is either "very successful" or has learned a lesson by some fck up that didn't even happen. I just saw a post of a guy who pretends to be successful, rents a Porsche and then post a photo of sitting inside the rental with the caption 'Fck the haters'. Yeah, all that on the professional networking internet website called LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a shitshow.

It almost feels like AI is a hype and is used by the NFT/blockchain/crypto/web3 grifters as yet another vehicle to grift people right into their graves. Fun times.

At that point it is something you want, not the best of the worse.

Doug McIlroy once said: "Make each program do one thing well".

Coding is solved once again!

What a coincidence, OpenAI is also down according to Downdetector.
