Ignore the haters. What you've done is incredible!

Why?

That's not the option most are going to take.

YOLO

Cannot wait for the pelican for this one

That's not been my experience. Most professional software is just a CRUD app in one form or another.

Linter linters, obviously

This is awful. I got so much use out of it!

Ok but you do want the people building your home to be experts at building homes, yes?

Worst way to grow the company by 11 people

I assume Meta has backdoor access.

I'll be in my home for longer than the recession lasts. Seems a little silly to sell it and walk away from my hard-earned lifestyle (which I quite enjoy) to save some money for just a few years.

I'd rather be poor in the city than rich and bored outside of it.

Well, I'm neither of those extremes. Like most people, I'm somewhere between two ends of a spectrum. ;-)

So, are you suggesting that an acceptable lifestyle would be an empty studio apartment with nothing inside of it, no pets, no partner, no meaningful possessions?

Personally, I have pets, a partner, and thoughtfully selected and meaningful possessions. I don't collect crap, and nothing I own or do is particularly extravagant. But I'm not exactly living an ascetic life either. A pretty typical lifestyle, I'd say. And I don't consider any of this a moral failure, if that's what you're getting at. Though admittedly it's not as affordable as living like a monk.

I have a fancy car? News to me. I'm just trying to pay my bills and live a sensible and reasonably comfortable life. These days that requires a lot of money.

But what if all the good jobs are only in hell?

moving to a different workplace is always an option.

This is, very often, not a practical option for many people.

Have you seen the market lately?

All hail the pelican king!

This game is a really big deal for me! I was addicted to it in high school and it left a lasting impression. Drugwars directly inspired my passion project, Farmhand: https://www.farmhand.life/

I'm so happy to see this pop up here! :)

Yes, when they are publicly funded.

Are you a regular donor?

Personally I just adopt an attitude of utter nihilism and fatalism. I remind myself regularly that I'm going to die someday, like a mantra. Everything I think or care about won't ultimately matter. The only rational choice is to try and make the most of today.

Because productivity doesn't scale linearly with quantity of developers. There's a point where it plateaus or even descends as quantity of developers goes up.

I know I'm tired of reading them, but don't people get bored of writing them?

Look, it's either this or a dozen articles a day about Claude Code.

I've come accept that producing code I'm truly proud of is now my hobby, not my career. The time it takes to write Good Code is unjustifiable in a business context and I can't make the case for it outside of personal projects.

Well said.

It's for exactly this reason that I believe Google will win the AI race.

Yeah I don't understand why everyone seems to have forgotten about the Gemini options. Antigravity, Jules, and Gemini CLI are as good as the alternatives but are way more cost effective. I want for nothing with my $20/mo Google AI plan.

Just goes to show that attention is all you need.

One of the things that makes Clawdbot great is the allow all permissions to do anything.

Is this materially different than giving all files on your system 777 permissions?
