Once again I have to ask: Aren't we just obfuscating everything to the point of knowledge loss? Between long COVID and ai, nobody will be able to make fizzbuzz in Java, let alone code a frontend by hand.

I've been doing front-end stuff since getting free trials/demos of Dreamweaver and of the mac equivalent of Visual Basic* on a magazine cover CD with pocket money while in high school in the 90s.

IMO, the stuff you need on your CV as a front-end developer, is much less productive than the stuff we had back in the late 90s. Well, except for localisation (while Unicode technically existed back then, support for it seemed to be minimal) and version control. Everything else feels like a regression that has only been partially compensated for by hardware and network speed improvements.

If anything, AI will let us go back to actually performant systems, because the AI doesn't need to show off how many years of experience it has with Gorebyss-on-Arvados (or whatever other buzzword bingo you want to insert here).

> Distribution has always been monetized. What margin did a retailer take for putting your boxed software on the shelf? How about that magazine ad? Google search? And so on. Get over the idea that a platform should give you their distribution for free. As 'amelius said below, there used to be more platforms. This matters, because it made for a different balance of power. Especially with retailers - the producers typi…

> This matters, because it made for a different balance of power. In actual practice, it just means that users get fucked from every side: You have 100 different "launchers", just like the 1000 toolbars in the internet's early days. You have to keep track of 100 different emails, accounts, recurring bills and all sorts of shit. You'd have to be naive as heck to believe corporations fighting against a platform's monop…

They don’t have to be benefactors (in an idealistic sense) to be useful in their presence.

100 crabs are easier to deal with (and way less likely to be dangerous for a human!) than 1 tiger, as it were.

"Your privacy is very important _for us_" It is to protect against terrorists. And to protect the children. If it works for Google, why shouldn't work for them.

People like ChatGPT even if you don’t.

And..? People also hate ChatGPT even if you don't. Do you think everyone in the world thinks exactly the same way as you do or something? Some people actually enjoy exerting their talents to create things.
