The main thing why I started using it too late was the slop. it's in the end AI generated, yes it can take your tasks but i never felt in my personal use case how it can help me when it's just generating slop. I used claude cowork more than openclaw after trying once that too in a cloud container since I'm afraid of its security

building because its always the dopamine from the coding agents than the problem getting solved. Github contribution graph is rigged because higher number of commits doesnt make you a better engineer. We needed this blog, ty

I've been trying to avoid this since 2022 (wish i knew this before that), def concerning how coffee shops still encourage this, we need a new revolution for something which can make cups for one time use but also not toxic like plastic

I've seen hugh abroad's videos and they are genuinely interesting as he explores south asia. Overall there's an interest element since people in west are accustomed to a baseline luxury and when they try difficult things like "walking in peak chaos while trying spicy food", it gathers attention from the same countries which represent almost ~25% of world population

This is great and I have seen some apps similar to it. One of the things I believe would be a hard problem to solve is, how does a mere picture depict the exact calories? For example, a pasta or a soup can be loaded with butter versus made without it. This is usually not visible with the pictures.

Maybe one of the ways is to identify with the shine and the image differences since fat floats on top. But then how do we add a quantitative metric to it as in how many tbsp of butter were used?

This just reminds me of the meme of a big stone structure supported by a pebble to prevent falling, The pebble being an OSS maintainer in Nebraska.

I like the spirit of article however,

1. Tracking every mention of a dependency and assigning value fairly is extremely hard: many packages are widely reused while many are tiny utility libs.

2. Usage in a file doesn’t reflect actual runtime usage. A repo might list a package but never import it.

Overall, solutions that align incentives, and maintain ecosystem neutrality are more likely to gain traction than a platform-wide mandated surcharge.

it's getting way better and we've to acknowledge how far we've come in last 4 years. Interestingly, one of the key examples of this is within vs code. AI is able to predict the next world not based on the generic trained data, but in the context of the repo (while manually editing)

This is good stuff. This is very much similar to prismor's sbom visualizer since it is also .json

I do see ads on your website, is it high traffic as well?

I wouldn't say our friend circle has an accountability group but recently in last 2-3 years they have been lot of green washing and fitness related content on social media which might fuel this obsession, even the popularity of the word 'protein' is in its all-time high if you see on Google trends.

Also, backed by science, they have been increase in nutritional studies since 2010s, the same orange which our grandma consumed, had 5x more nutrition than the ones we eat today just because of the genetic modifications we have done over the years. So yes, being on the same diet we may need more fitness and hence the recent popularity

Had fun reading this, pretty well written. >Consolidate into a monorepo lol this sounds like as if you make a dog tired by playing with it so it sleeps which you're gone :'D

Contextualize the actual risk This is not as easy as it seems, for example reflection cases where runtime behavior affects a package usage. example: const lib = require(process.env.PARSER) lib.parse(userInput) could use a safe parser in production or a vulnerable one in another environment, but from a code level perspective there's no certainity which package is actually used
