Things that not surprised me with all AI slop: listings not updated since April are broken 40% of the time; Railway and Render endpoints are broken 50% / 39% vs 6% on Workers; 78% of servers behind auth don't declare a required header in the registry
I do plenty of tinkering, and AI isn't really that great at it. When exploring something like Windows widgets (my latest hobby), AI helps, but official docs, sample repos, and debug-driven experimentation help way more.
After all the fun tinkering part, when I have working solution, I could build new widget in a second with AI if I ever need to produce them en masse
I can understand why people who aren't interested in "shipping daily" and are more interested in figuring things out are kinda annoyed by all the LLM noise
They've killed their own widget platform 6 times in 30 years. Each one died from a different spectacular failure.
But the last iteration might actually be done right
I traced full history of windows widgets from Active Channel Bar to latest Windows Board
What do you think?
