It will be impossible to any startup or open source software to grow in such a hostile environment. Anything you put on internet will be attacked by automatic tools with the capabilities of a black hat savant. But unlike hackers that do it for clout and money, a billion parallel agents will hack any random small site just because it’s their prompt.

We're observing a worrisome speed up in security breaches. To me it's clear that weaponized AI will cause more harm than some productivity benefits.

It’s the death of homegrown software.

I still hold a grudge over the change from Photon to Proton theme. It should be easier to customize this.

Time and time again Elysium keeps popping into my mind.

It's possible that the elite will control most part of wealth generation, keeping it for themselves. The rest of society will develop an underclass economy and work for each other. Essentially a worldwide slum.

That's great. I wish we could convince more people to use similar tools regularly, myself included.

It may not 'scale' as well as algorithmic feeds, but maybe that's what will save the Web. We need more sweat and passion, both in curation of content and in the effort to find it.

Strange article. Even though I do like music and engineering.

>Electromagnetic pickups—(...)—fixed the loudness problem. But they left a new one: the envelope

Was it really a problem to be solved? Good tube amplifiers already existed back then. Clean guiar tone was not something frowned upon.

>Hendrix’s mission was (...)

>His solution was (...)

I don't think Hendrix was on a 'mission' to solve engineering puzzles at all. He was just experimenting, as an artist.

In other news, being able to actually code will be one of the top IT trends in 2030s

Honestly, I only use coding agents when I feel too lazy to type lots of boilerplate code.

As in "Please write just this one for me". Even still, I take care to review each line produced. The key is making small changes at a time.

Otherwise, I type out and think about everything being done when in ‘Flow State’. I don't like the feeling of vibe coding for long periods. It completely changes the way work is done, it takes away agency.

On a bit of a tangent, I can't get in Flow State when using agents. At least not as we usually define it.

I've build a signal injector to debug a guitar pedal that was not working. It was a nice little journey in itself. The astable multivibrator produces so much harmonics that I could hear it all the way back from the input jack, where it was supposed to be silent. Heck, I could hear it just by putting the probe nearly close to the circuit. The signal pushed through the circuit like Juggernaut breaking walls. Learned a lot about filters and was able to produce a nice sine wave out of it, it worked great.
