I wasn't familiar with the quote -- so contextual in today's world.

I have been feeling more and more tired recently. For a while, I didn't really understand why, given that with AI tools i code, so I thought of it as unusual.

Then I realized that is the actual cause. I don't vibe code, I care how the code looks like, so i read and understand most of it, fix it, review it, etc.

but the amount of code I go through in a day is astonishing, that creates the problem for me.

Anyone else experiencing similar?

I haven’t gained much productivity by using any of the LLMs, particularly not the recent ones as their thinking ability is nothing else than overthinking and overcomplicating everything.

What I really use LLMs for is to uncover what I should not do, and this is quite a strong win.

Overall, they are generally very bad at giving me anything useful for the things I build.

I have stopped a few years back. My entire frontend is a no-build one. Pretty cool.

Pretty nice work.

One of the problems I encountered in my career was to understand the actual need. You have that entirely.

AI coming in and giving you the ability to do what you and others need and most devs couldn't do without you explainin the need and requirement in detail, is pretty amazing.

Maybe you teach this to some non-dev peers of yours?

I quite like the simplicity but I am especially a big fan of the standards-based development model. Will definitely try it out soonish and come back to you with some feedback.

It has a richest std lib with quite good performance which makes it suitable for a lot of use cases where one wants to reduce dependency. I also find it quite easy to learn. Personally use for all web products I build as I have gotten the hang of it and have a small sort of framework to build products quickly with. And I get to ship a single binary to production.

Go Std, HTML + plain CSS + vanilla JS if needed. No build steps.

Would love to see some great hardware there as well. Something like a macbook pro line but with Linux on it.

I am expecting the opposite, metaverse to be less and less relevant.

Agreed. In relation to that, I would expect some similar products to pop up on the market. Or even better ones.

A headless OS came to mind immediately when I was reading your post. Let me expand: an OS which does provide a collection of components that can be used to build a UI but not the concept of windows and to make it connect to the hardware it provide the connecting functionality in a headless manner. App store transform into component store. Would be interesting to work on something like this.
