Haha! Very wise. Never knew this was possible. Thanks for this.

Does the same thing happen with WSJ?

> X/Twitter is getting progressively worse for users not logged in.

Yes! But usually I just replace "x.com" with "xcancel.com" in the URL bar. it was a pain to use Twitter without logging in

There are solutions to this as well e.g. CoinJoin and using Taproot or Musig to hide redeem scripts and probably more

They make it incredibly hard to make sense of gathered intel

Thought you wanted software that just works ?

The complexity involved. Most people just want to get on with their work and not get lost into details of self hosting (plus maintaining) yet another service. probably they've self hosted sth else and they're spread thin on resources.

Their rates are not a big inconvenience, IMO

> They're also extraordinarily good engineers so idk wtf is going on in Uganda.

Uganda has no respect for talent. When I was there it looked like most people are just trying to survive the next day, tbh. Because there is no platform to develop their talent. Also Uganda seems to be more focused on agriculture so it gets more incentives than other industries.

But you're right about the talented part, there are a lot of good engineers there but lack the opportunity. Remember meeting one who worked at Boeing in Missouri and he even had a few patents in the aerospace domain.

Yes, to some extent because AI only assisted the developer achieve their goal.

But the developer is clearly talented, no doubt about that. They know their stuff very well. Having tried writing a text editor myself, I could quickly tell they know their stuff by analysing the program design

Nice read!

I also believe the difference between expert level and amateur programmers will be a lot easier to spot. Especially around the software or system architecture

Due to the inherent GIGO behavior of any software, it'll be a lot easier to tell that the code or software wasn't written by someone with deep knowledge since LLMs' output is just a good reflection of your prompts and creativity while at it(prompting). For instance, a prompt from Ken Thompson can't be exactly similar to your average Joe programmer. I've seen it a lot with most new open-source projects nowadays.
