> Replacing your vibe coded garbage app with my vibe coded garbage app is much much easier than changing my oil

I am not sure what is it about the HN crowd that makes them so out of touch with what the average Joe is capable of. It's like that Dropbox post top comment all over again.

Don't you think that the only reason you think it's simple is because you're... A professional Software Engineer??

> Physiotherapists cannot go on doing that kind of body-manipulation work forever without an effect on themselves

Physiotherapists don't usually manipulate patients, you're probably thinking of chiropractors. Even then, the amount of physical strain the manipulation puts on their body is minimal and can be adapted to.

Israel and the US are planning a new war on Iran. Historically (in Iran and other places), we saw political and internal crises emerge/staged when the US is planning a regime change in that country.

I had Gemini 3 Flash hit me this morning with "you're absolutely right" when I corrected it on a mistake it did. It's not conclusive of anything.

"That's when I learned the difference between burnout and disillusionment. Burnout drains your body; disillusionment erases your purpose. You can recover from exhaustion with rest, but you need something else entirely to recover from meaninglessness."

This is an accurate pathology to burnout at least in my experience. I worked on many hard things in my life, from school to obsessing over hard problems on weekends but I never felt burned-out. I felt tired, but content.

It took 6 months of being stuck after reaching a local maxima in my career. I was working on menial, meaningless, tasks that I knew amounted to nothing while I was doing them. That caused my burnout.

Industry standards are not platform standards. React (enabled by Inertia) is in many ways is an industry standard for building UIs on the web today, yet it's not part of the platform. Same with Vite, it's the standard way to bundle on the web.

Decidedly, Import Maps are not used as a standard for dependency management in the web dev industry.

Most of the reason I've started losing interest in Rails and the DHH cult is their insistence that their homemade JS solutions (Stimulus, Hotwire, JS import maps) should be the default choice instead of industry standards like Intertia and Vite.

I am maintaining a Rails app with Vite + Interia + Vue, and it's many times easier to manage, develop, especially when working with LLMs that haven't been trained on DHH's new frontend experiments du jour.

Eventually that is the plan. Like we saw with Claude Code, they want developers to get a taste of that unlimited and unrestrained power of a state of the art model like Opus 4, then slowly limit usage until you fully transition to metered billing and deprecate subscription based billing.

Or it stems from Israel committing more war crimes than other nations

I just logged in to Bluesky to see what the left think of this and I wish I hadn't.

I find it extremely disturbing that half the country are people who are very well educated, earning well above average from their white-collar careers, yet they still think political violence is acceptable or funny.

This country is doomed.

Like everything else, practice. I like to clone repositories of open source tools I use and try to understand how a particular feature is built end to end. I find that reading code aimlessly is not that helpful. Try to read it with a goal in mind. When starting out, pick a tool/application that is very simple and lean on LLMs to explain only the bits you don't understand.

It was put on maintenance mode with minimal security updates to favour the development of their newer product Dia (AI browser).

I just couldn't love it, and frankly I don't get the hype around it. I recently found that all my use cases can be served by either:

1. A general purpose LLM chat interface with high reasoning capacity (GPT-5 thinking on web is my go to for now)

2. An agent that has unrestricted token consumption running on my machine (Claude Code with Opus and Amp are my go to for now).

3. A fine-tuned, single purpose LLM like v0 that is really good at one thing, in this case at generating a specific UI component with good design aesthetics from a wireframe in a sandbox.

Everything else seems like getting the worst of all worlds.
