I think you missed the part where there were much much less software devs/engineers earlier.

Year after year it was just much more new people joining as things got easier and more accessible.

Now you see 40 or 50 year olds far and between where most guys I see are in their 30s. Ones that are 60 yo diluted in the sea of new entrants.

Ageism didn't came from the top it just happened with flood of young employees, there is just social dynamics where you might get 40yo not being a manager getting along with bunch of 25yolds but that's going to be an exception not the rule.


I have vibe coded 3 applications I never had time to code but always wanted.

Now it is different in a way where now I don’t have time to use those apps.

That’s a joke.

But I do believe it answers the question of “what to build?”. If you didn’t have time before LLM assisted coding you still don’t have time for it. You most likely know what is used and what not already by heart or by some measurements.


Following Dutch jokes:

Well the lock itself for a junkie in Amsterdam has value if you get expensive one it is additional loot.


I don’t think so.

It is just realization by author that HTML is also useful tool and MD lacks some stuff.

He didn’t write anything about “now we should stop using MD files”.

It is more like: “I see I can do cool stuff with HTML and found cases where it definitely is right tool for the job”.


Most educated and motivated Polish people were slaughtered by Germans and Russians in WW II then ones still alive working for or heavily oppressed by puppet soviet state.

Looking at other comments it seems like your experience is less representative.

Exactly like I didn’t do anything super important - but I just tell agent “commit after successful build.

I think it would work with “commit before you want to delete stuff” the same way.


Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

No one remembers when their friends or family tells “we are doing well everything is nice”.

Everyone passes on or remembers horror stories.


I see it with new hires in our company. We are small SaaS app.

Starry eyed business person thinks he can tell us whatever there is about making websites because our landing page is basically neglected.

Business we are in B2B and this specific product is not getting customers this way.

We get customers via CEO or business partners connections.

All the “organic traffic” is waste of time for us because when they hear the price of product they never call again.

Having a lot of small customers is not our business model because our app is not for small businesses.


If you are a B2B SaaS and you aren't getting big customers via the website, you're neglecting it. We get fortune 1000 customers from organic traffic, and we aren't a big company.

I wander how many of those CEOs ask there technical teams to have a quick look and are told “avoid - it looks like it’s been abandoned “

Is your pricing on your website? That's a way to cut down on the wasted time

I’ve noticed a lot of business models intentionally try to funnel you through their sales pipeline and only expose the price after “getting to know you”.

Which is slang for “getting a chance to plead their case for why it’s going to be so bloody expensive”.


Sounds like a case of Chesterton's Pothole (nee Fence)—a glaringly obvious suboptimal implementation that's there for an undocumented reason.

I wasn’t that invested in StackOverflow but still I was quite invested there.

I do feel kind of sadness right now it is a zombie that current owners are just pumping out whatever is left out of it.

I don’t care about GH I felt centralized repositories like that is wrong.

Q/A was supposed to be centralized because we need people to find the questions and answers in a single place.

GH or others should be just referring to repositories not keep them… be a search engine for decentralized repositories.
