I have been thinking about this a lot. I think for a great many of engineers, the ones who did it because they loved it only to discover that money was in fact at the end of the rainbow found both the journey and the destination satisfying. In fact, I think I can argue with

developers are COOKED i vibecoded a shittier version of an existing product in 4 weeks with serious security flaws

Programming was deeply satisfying work to me. Work for hours/days before getting the payoff of the code working well on your machine. I’m feeling so much friction now to open the editor and do this kind of task by hand, but also increasingly depressed with the nature of work in

the base thesis is that since wr e can shit out huge amounts of code now, therr's no way to review it all via human brains. sure. but nobody seems to ask why we want shit out huge amounts of code in the first place. mythical man month of the AI age.

Man I'm watching Tech YouTube videos from ~10 years ago and they feel like a window to such a radically different world. People used to care about shit.

slop everywhere, not a single person knows how to make software anymore?

Elon Musk: “If you want to recruit talented and driven people, you must state the mission, the problem to solve, and show you’re willing to pour blood, sweat, and tears into it with a convincing reason why it matters. Motivation comes from three things: enjoying the work itself,

Nice thing about using Rust in @ladybirdbrowser: it becomes significantly easier to parallelize things when you have confidence that they're not racy! Here's what it looks like when we distribute JS parsing to a thread pool instead of parsing synchronously on the main thread:

100ms? I have lower ping to EU servers I can literally send data across the ocean faster that my UI can respond Nice

@wookash_podcast It's been 1-3 years since people have been saying this stuff. If they have 10x'd their productivity, that is 10-30 years in traditional developer time. Where is all the softwares that should have been produced by this massive productivity increase?

some thoughts on being a software developer right now

While I respect @ThePrimeagen for his take on AI and vibe coding and the updated stance he has on it, I truly do, I have to say that it's not like he's alone. Others have been steaming, knew what it was from the start and avoided it at, sometimes, great cost. Not just me, btw.

Normal people: I can't wait for the weekend to finally relax. Developers: I can't wait for the weekend to finally work on my side projects.

whenever people talk about "shipping speed" they focus on 0 to 1 but what actually matters is how fast the team is still shipping a year into the project this is why everyone seems like they "ship fast" but nothing actually seems to be getting done

@theo @rfleury Well there's two parts to what you're saying there, so I'll split them out. The first part ("been awful to me and many of my friends") sounds like an objection to Jon's behavior, which is not what most people would assume is meant by "terrible developer". A complaint about
