Reading articles like this feels like being in a different reality.

I don't work like this, I don't want to work like this and maybe most importantly I don't want to work with somebody who works like this.

Also I am scared that any library that I am using through the myriad of dependencies is written like this.

On the other hand... if I look at this as some alternate universe where I don't need to directly or indirectly touch any of this... I am happy that it works for these people? I guess? Just keep it away from me

Genuinely this is what it sounds like to accept obsolescence and I just can’t understand it.

What are you attached to and identify with that you’re rejecting new ways to work?

Change is the only constant and tools now look like superhuman tools created for babies compared to the sota at bell or NASA in the 1960s when they were literally trying to create superhuman computing.

We have more access to powerful compute and it’s never been easier to build your own everything.

What’s the big complaint?

I think it's a great technology but if people's ability to put food on the table is compromised what's their incentive not to ventilate people working for AI labs?

If people have shown anything recently it’s the unwillingness to actually do what you just said.

If anyone cared enough to do anything, they would be burning everything down already

It’s a lot of impotent rage because the only virtue people have is consumption, they don’t actually believe in anything. The ones who do believe in fairy tales are part of a dwindling population (religion) that is rightfully crashing.

Welcome to the wasteland of the real
