Jared White @jaredwhite.com · 21hI appreciate you speaking out forcefully about this. Too many people with platforms are choosing silence, and I know this must not be easy for you given your position. So again, I really appreciate everything you're saying. 🙏 041

Jared White @jaredwhite.com · 25/09/2026Most actual chatbot usage, besides entertainment, is broadly speaking "search". And search already wasn't a GUI as such. Anyway, I'm shocked, shocked that HN is misreading your piece. 😂 As far as Rails goes, I think the writing is on the wall. Ruby's future lies elsewhere, or nowhere at all. 120
Jared White @jaredwhite.com · 25/09/2026Off-topic, but "nobody wants to interact with a UI" is just an insane thing to say. Truth is some sectors of SV have been trying to push the "chatbot" narrative for many years, far earlier than ChatGPT's debut. It's a solution in search of a problem. GUIs will always have a *strong* place in apps 140
Jared White @jaredwhite.com · 25/09/2026That's what I thought too, I was completely blown away by it. Sobbing at the end by the emotional beauty. I think season 2 has some important things to say that season 1 hinted at, but never really got to. Quite an unexpected delight. 030
Jared White @jaredwhite.com · 25/09/2026Oh yeah, I'm a massive fan of Pluribus! I really should go back and watch the Vinceverse before that… (for personal reasons I have a real beef with New Mexico, but I'll just have to get over that 😅) 010
Jared White @jaredwhite.com · 25/09/2026I'm not going to complain about this list, and I'll shock some people by saying I have not seen Breaking Bad, nor have I seen The Wire. So I'm happy that the first show at the top I've seen, Mad Men, is at number three. I would personally put it at number one. It is perfection. 🧑🏽🍳💋 111
