What this whole hype cycle is teaching me is that the great majority of people trying out these tools are idiots. I want to use the R word actually.

I’m very happy that I can post ai generated blog posts from my writing. And I’m now averaging 500 unique daily visitors and quite some repeat visits and subscribers with it too. If…

Have you seen the black mirror episode; Hang the DJ? Exactly like that.

Okay, but now what? Clearly, the industry is trending towards an entirely new style of doing programming. What are the longterm options going to be for those who don't enjoy this? …

I really like building products, and with AI now I can just offload huge parts of the technical duties, and do the actual product building much faster. For me this is where the rea…

That is just a personal opinion, not a fact. Either option can be faster or more productive if it suits your personal coding style. I work with both, I also favor one. But money is…

Yes no shit.

Not websites, but rather bigger systems. The largest client I work with now has 150k daily active users, for which I mostly am putting together new backend features. The website it…

If contracting with bigger companies and enterprises, for which I am on 6-12 month projects, and even longer retainers is "greenfield freelancing" then sure. I actually do not real…

For which reason exactly? Everyone will catch up to this eventually.

To me it feels like I’m in the camp of people who has already figured it out. And I have now learned the hard way that it’s almost impossible to teach others (I organized several m…

Yep! I work on multiple client projects. And while one agent is running in one project, I’m reviewing and writing down the task for another. Generally I just do this 2-3 hours per …

So China will start funding Russia to prolong the war?

I tried it, but I got stuck. I am trying to learn this Language, and I know very little of it. So we are having a conversation, and I just get totally lost. Would be cool if it swi…

I’ve grown quite wary of anything that YouTubers say they are experts on. While actively producing content and streaming as their full time job.

Is this a community college perhaps? I think we have another problem with this industry moving way too fast for even very well funded colleges to keep up. Let alone a community col…

Every other app on the planet that does not explicitly claim to be E2E encrypted is likely keeping your “private information” readily accessible in some way.

What’s the big deal here? Doesn’t every other app keep logs? I was already expecting they did. Don’t understand the outrage here.

Working on AI myself, creating small and big systems, creating my own assistants and side-kicks. And then also seeing progress as well as rewards. I realize that I am not immune to…

This is going to sound ridicilous. But in the past month, I have been working on an AI agent that can write its own AI agents. I can give it a task like: "Please create an AI agent…

I once sat down to calculate the costs of my app if it ever went viral being hosted at vercel. That has put me off on hosting anything on vercel ever or even touching NextJS. It fe…

I won't link them, but they are quite easy to find... Most of the accounts offering them are custom DIY drones. The fiber optic attachment spools seem to be mass produced though.

The weird part is that they are also advertised on Instagram. More than once I have gotten an ad from an account showcasing these fiber optic drones and their R&D operation. And yo…

Either you adapt, or you don't. But this is what's coming for all software/web & IT jobs. I am not making up the rules of the game; neither am I sitting here and be bitter about it…

Because they are willing to pay my asking rate. Maybe it’s 3 jobs, but for me it’s still one. I can’t help that their 3 other devs aren’t as productive. I’m not here to defend them…
