Oh god, the whole world become a boring mess of sameness, won't it. What a world we have created as the tech industry. Absolutely dumb as rocks we are.

This is actually a great characterization and one of the reasons why for example YC has not had a success in the last 10 years.

This has caused tech to look more and more like a ponzi scheme with greater and greater promises and yet the actual output is very feeble.

Even large companies like Apple have got caught in all this. Imagine what they promised and what they haven't been able to deliver.

We need a grand reset but that needs to come from the young ones.

Stop doing leetcode. Go back to original engineering. Stop using JavaScript. Build software like Winamp.

None of those reports are any good though. Maybe for shallow research, but I haven't found them deep. Can you share what kind of research you have been trying there where it has done a great job of actual deep research.

If you are at Faang and feeling imposter syndrome, maybe you just need to get better at things. I actually rejected multiple offers from Faang back in the day because they were so mediocre.

And that's why they should be broken up too and their app stores should be completely open so that any apps can be installed.

I want an America where competition thrives again.

Yeah, unfortunately, they have to jump on the AI bandwagon because they are forced to by other editors, providing free AI, but they simply do not have the skills to integrate the AI properly. It's a shame, and unfortunately removing negative reviews will not help as people will simply migrate to a different product. You can have three 5 star reviews, but that doesn't help if nobody else is using it.

Yeah Jetbrains is going down a very similar path to Borland.

The classic disruption of a startup. This is actually a good thing. This allows new startups to come into the market.

Just wait for the sniffling Marc Andreeson to tell you how it's just time to build now and it's all smooth sailing and blue skies.

I think this is a common gameplay from companies which are basically reaching their peak of what they will be able to do, but they have to keep growing somehow. Duolingo is basically a dying company if you think about it, like the growth is done, the other company which recently made news, Shopify is another one of these. You do not see them 10xing their revenue in any way again, so they have to play all of these games to squeeze more from the company by basically cutting people, and these are all steps to that goal. I would expect again other companies like Dropbox to also follow a similar path.

Tesla is one of the scammiest companies in existence. I have developed a deep hatred of them over time. They are a classic example of why tech is hated. Tech could have been this absolutely beautiful thing for the world, and instead it became a giant Ponzi scheme. I really wish Tesla was fined heavily for lying about everything for so long.

Yup in my private evals I have repeatedly found that DeepSeek has the best models for everything and yet in a lot of these public ones it always seems like someone else is on the top. I don't know why.
