History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then vibe-coded in rust.

Here, I'll do it again: If you just slap AI vibe coding into your product development cycle *without being thoughtful* you will end up DDOS'ing your best code reviewers, leading to poorer decisions about your architecture. You will attrit top technical talent as the joy is sucked out of their jobs.

Think about the core tenets of American conservatism: a government serving 300 million people and leading the world should be “small” and that we should orient all policy around servicing the rich so that they throw us gruel. It’s fucking stupid and we should say so.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

one of the most important things you should learn from arguing online and other places is that the way to be open-minded is not to be more accepting of the outgroup -- rather you should be more willing to consider that the ingroup are clowns

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.

I’m increasingly of the mind that whatever productivity gains I’m getting from using AI are being eaten up by dealing with other people’s AI slop. Then there’s the increasing lack of trust that people actually understand the work because they either didn’t read or write the material.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

If a generative AI CEO is telling you something, take it with a grain of salt the size of an iceberg. So if they want regulation now, it is more likely something to do with finances than an immediate existential threat. These dipshits do not care about existential threats other than going bankrupt.

Guys, there is no shortage of mediocre white dudes out there. If your electoral politics require you to vote for some mediocre white dude, and one of them turns out to be awful, say a sex pest or a Nazi or some other kind of milkshake duck, you can just find you another one. There's no shortage.

there are lots of valid reasons to hate AI, but honestly the #1 in my mind is that the companies pushing it are a bunch of sneering ghouls. they don’t give a single shit about any of us. they just want us to eat their slop, no matter what it is. I will not accept that and give them what they want.

You could not waterboard the statement "AI makes me a better writer" out of me. If the prose from the Great Automated Averager is an improvement on what you can do yourself, then you're admitting that you are a below average writer. Not below average for reporters; below average for the gen pop.

The AI bubble is a symptom of the greater sickness in a software industry that venture capital and private equity incentivized to prioritize growth over anything involving solving actual human problems. AI didn't break the software industry. VCs did. www.wheresyoured.at/hatersguide-saas/
The AI bubble is a symptom of the greater sickness in a software industry that stopped caring about making software. Allowing management consultants and growth-perverts to take the wheel and demand that every single software company make $100 million a year or get shot to death at dusk has ruined the incentives that Silicon Valley was built on. 

The only way to turn “every” software company into an eternal growth engine is to change their primary purpose from building software to selling services that sometimes involve some sort of software. The entire SaaS sales stack is utterly fucked, geared toward conning people that buy software but don’t use software rather than providing any meaningful service.

This con could only last so long before it fell off the tracks, because the crooked and cowardly lack any soul or wisdom that might give them the ability to steer a company toward anything resembling a sustainable future. 

As Hansson said, not all software needs to evolve forever. A product does something, and it should get better over time and only change in a way that improves the experience for the customer. This can be done in a way that makes the company grow, but that growth should only come from an honest exchange of value with the end user. 

I realize that sounds a little fanciful in our era of Rot Economics, but the nightmare that I fear is to come for the software world is one borne of the growth-at-all-costs poison in the veins of Silicon Valley. 

It’s a comforting lie to say that “AI is destroying SaaS,” because saying that allows you to keep believing that everything will grow forever, and the SaaS con can continue. I’m not saying that SaaS will never be a viable business model, or that no SaaS company will ever succeed, but that the mistaken belief about basically any SaaS company being viable enough to make a hundred million dollars or more a year without venture capital or debt propping it up is a lie told to you by people that don’t know or care a…Software-As-A-Service has been mutated and brutalized into the service of capitalism. Things were too easy for too long, which led to the Rot Economists chasing out the people that actually made software, because one could eventually sell to companies without ever dealing with the software itself or those that might be unfortunate enough to use it.

And as the SaaS business model dies, nobody at the helm of these companies can find their ass from their earhole. 

Without the imaginary eternal growth engine of SaaS, venture capital and private equity will lose one of their only replicable tools for conning limited partners and pension funds into handing over tens of billions of dollars to invest, and they deserve it. 

They all fucking deserve it. They deserve to lose. None of them gave a rat fuck about building any future other than one where they got incrementally richer every time something I have to use for work gets worse. 

I’m sure there are noble SaaS investors out there, people that give a shit, and SaaS companies that exist that are doing useful things that their customers like. I just think they’re drowned out, both in share of voice and venture capital dollars invested, by the plants of the Rot Economy’s worst venture capitalists and private equity worms. 

I don’t think that anyone who actually interacts with SaaS companies with any regularity will disagree with me about the larger state of the industry, and anybody who gets mad at reading this likely participates in the greater con of the greed-led SaaS empires that are currently billowing with smoke.

And really, my grievance is with the funders not the founders, other than guys like Aaron Levie who spend more time writing endless Twitter screeds about non-existent AI agents than they do thinking about their actual customers or workers. AI-pilled SaaS leaders have lost the plot. They do not understand technology anymore, nor do they care about their customers enough to steer them away from unreliable, …
