Yeah yeah, where are we now with all previous predictions in the last 18-24 months?

Aren’t we supposed to be all out of work right now? That coding is a solved problem? What about all the previous doom-callings?

Oh, what? Didn’t happen? Maybe because these hypemakers are just full of shit.

It’s kind of dumb to say IT people want to union but “the industry” doesn’t want to.

Guess “who” is the industry? Yeah, you are right, it’s the IT people…

Desperate measure at this point. It’s not enough to shove “copilot” in all their software, they are now sending boots in your office to make you use it.

Back then, we used to call those “script kiddies”.

I am using Linux since the 90’s, so my reasons might be different from “to leave Windows”.

I started coding at an early age, so for me, having access to all my tools free-of-charge was a big plus. Add to that the possibility of read the source code of everything, the learning potential was mind blowing.

But bruh, “if it compiles, it works”. Who needs testing now that we have blazing safe rust with AI?

“Ship fast and break things”, bruh.

That’s the sad point where the software industry is at these days.

In a few years people will be locked-in with some proprietary Linux distro variants made by big tech and they will wonder how that happened.

People show stop a moment and reflect on why the GNU license exists in the first place.

Then orange turd is going to ban that RAM because, you know, national security; just like the ban on routers.

I tried neovim for a while and I went back to vim for that reason: setup once, then forget about it.

I have plugins that haven’t been touch for 5 years+ and they are working as intended.

Rock solid.

The verge: “it started with ads and blabla”.

No.

It started when people were pirating and life was good. Then the streaming came with a good product and a fair price -> people agreed with that and people stopped pirating.

Companies started to enshitify the product, we are now at this point.

I am not suggesting you what to do.

It’s like people are starting to realize what the “luddites” were saying from the beginning.

This tech is not from the people to the people like the web, it’s from big corpos to fuck you.

You won’t have that tech, you will rent a highly modified one at best, built with the purpose to manipulate you.

Remember: there is a club out there, and you are not part of it.
