Computers are really expensive now. We know this. But maybe we’ll all learn that our 5-10 year old computers are actually… fine?

I guess people don’t “write” it anymore - they just accept the machine barf - if that barf contains tailwind so be it

Like if I buy a chair, even if I fully understand how to make chairs, and I gave the factory the exact specification of the chair I wanted them to make, have I made the chair?

In the past, when people claimed to have created something, and it turned out later that they’d outsourced the work, we’d call it fraud. But you can outsource to a robot, still claim you created it, and that’s ok? Strange times

I can see a benefit if you have dozens of apps or sites. Like, if a button needs to look the same across several projects, it probably makes sense to maintain that in a shared json imported into each project…. but we know that’s not what people do is it? 😅

Apple finally invents the folding phone. "This changes everything. Nobody has ever been able to fold a phone before. I mean, obviously Samsung has, and Google has, and various Chinese manufacturers have, but nobody has done it properly. Those were gimmicks. This is *innovation*.”

If I’m keeping score correctly, so far the AI revolution has given me: - considerably worse software than before - considerably more expensive devices to run that software - considerably less opportunity to make the money needed to buy those devices
