If all it took to lose someone's respect was saying "You are 0.5% wrong on this one specific issue and I'm going to prove it empirically", the respect was never real to begin with.

“Why dont they make something useful instead of all that slop?” I hear them ask, and I want to shake them and shout “I did and you insulted and derided me and my work for my trouble”.

Y'know, sometimes you want to have one conversation, but the meta state of things forces another conversation. Fine, that's gonna happen, but... it's pretty unfair to assume I'm up to speed on everything that has happened in the last 24 hours at all times. And that's before we get to merit.

But there's no law of physics that says it has to be that way. Just because lazy people with bad ideas can use it to make a kind of broken version of their bad idea lazily, doesn't mean you or I couldn't use it to make something really cool that other human beings benefit from.

The good and bad thing about agentic coding is that it makes it really easy to get a new project started and kind of working -- even if the project is a terminally bad idea. Which explains the ten gazillion abandoned slop projects on GitHub.

The vision: A permissively-licensed OS which is both Mac-like in presentation and API, and BeOS-like in filesystem features, with the development tooling of a modern Linux box as a cherry on top. It'd be nice to meet someone who shared that vision and wanted to help.

We exist under tyrannical, undemocratic conditions and are acutely aware how impossible it is to hold anyone in power accountable. But we don't really acknowledge how this awareness chafes at us, moves us to despair and grief and rage that sublimates into viciousness and ire at those we can reach.

We should regard anything made by people like DHH as antisocial by nature. Unproductive, antisocial software that serves only the interests of the people who made it, or paid others to make for them.

Prosocial software is software made by and for people whose agenda benefits humanity in some way, encourages the best in us, uplifts us in some way. Software that helps make things better, not worse.

MOS_8502 🇨🇦 @studio8502.ca · 25/09/2026

I really do think that's the standard we should be using to judge software: is it functional, is it secure, and is it prosocial. All three are required, regardless of how the software was made.

Here's how it should work: there's all these qualifications you can get by education and training. You get the qualifications, and go to the national employment agency looking for work. They see who is looking to fill slots that match your qualifications, you pick one, and that's that, you're hired.
