Creepy robots doing warehouse work. No prerecording. No safety net. No celebration. Just robots with name tags and people watching their job market die in real time.

I started hacking web projects and messing with Slackware in the mid90s as a self taught dev. Before that I was always building things on my computer it felt more like creative exploration or entreatment than academic discipline which is why I never pursued a CS degree.

Whats fascinating is how differently CS trained and self taught developers approach problems CS grads often bring systematic thinking and solid theoretical foundations they'll architect elegant solutions and consider edge cases upfront Self taught folks myself included tend to be more experimental willing to hack together quick prototypes and iterate rapidly Ive found the magic happens in small teams that blend both approaches The CS trained developers provide structure while the self taught crowd brings creative problem-solving and isn't afraid to break conventional rules... sometimes there are no rules. Has anyone else noticed this dynamic Im curious if others see different complementary strengths between these backgrounds or if this varies by company culture domain

I agree with your point. After working with LLMs and building apps with them for the past four years, I consider myself a veteran and perhaps an authority (to some) on the subject. I find developing programs that use LLMs both fascinating and frustrating. Nevertheless, I'm going to continue with my work and curiosities, and let the industry change the names of what I'm doing—whether it's called agent development, context engineering, or whatever comes next.

Haunted is good word for it. I have a pile of these too. I made happen over COVID with long time hacker friend. It is called Viddd.co. We were able to help many musicians make a lot of money. We still do it but we have not updated it while. Great threads here

I live in Altadena and I see those homes. They don't seem all that bad. By the way, Altadena has nice mountain cold air at night, accompanied by the sound of owls hooting. The night time views of Downtown LA are awesome. So, Altadena gives you country living, and within a 20-minute drive, you can be in Silver Lake, DTLA, or Los Feliz to check out a band or a dinner.

I was a CPO of the largest Jira marketplace company for Atlassian. It amazing how much ARR you can drive and it is equally scary how it is to run a SaaS business within the walled garden. Atlassian's DNA is not cloud based software and it will take them time to get there. In the meantime there are so many better solutions for dev groups.

The "lean in" people and incentives have made society suffer for profit. Perhaps we can define a better set of incentives that reward companies of people building products.

Sinking feeling sets in. I am assuming the modern economic systems will change once the significantly wealthy class start to loose real material wealth and opportunity. Unfortunately that will not be a good thing for billions of people over the next fifty years. I am also assuming really interesting technologies will make climate change livable for many, but no all and perhaps that's the way the game Earth is played.

I own Sony cameras and like them, but all the software they make to connect to the camera is bad period. They should just enable the camera to act as a webcam via firmware update.

I started on Wildcat BBS from Mustang and bumped into FidoNet in the early 90's. This was all very decentralized perhaps the crypto-kiddies can glean some intel from the up/downs from this FidoNet story.
