Fuck Microsoft, fuck Adobe, and fuck all the other companies that changed their software business models from “one-time purchase” to subscription-based!

All the developers 404 Media talked to were excited to try using LLMs at work at first, or were at least curious about them. Their feelings about the tools, based on their personal experience, are now overwhelmingly negative. AI is rotting their brains www.404media.co/software-dev...

it's absolutely important to couch every statement from this guy in the context that he hired a person based solely on the credential that the guy strangled one of my neighbors to death. no background in software or finance, just murder.
Like, this guy isn't normal, and we do have to talk about the fact that a certain group of uber-wealthy people have invented a fictional promised land and they're using all their money and power to drag us there, kicking and screaming.

looking up how to use [software]
result 1: this is called a pointer. move your mouse, the pointer moves too. expect to do this a lot while using [software]
result 2: [software] borrows its GUI philosophy from mac-based NLE platforms, so you will always get best results at the command line

When I worked in the hotel industry, the big chains were using ancient-ass property management software (Hilton's OnQ was from 2004 and Marriott's FOSSE is literally MS-DOS based with no mouse input) and I've been thinking about this more and more lately.
Because it worked fine.

Once the ai bubble pops big tech has no hyper growth ideas left. The markets will see they spent $200bn on nothing and that they have no other growth ideas. Software based stocks get chopped, horrible layoffs, dark era in valuations

Writing code that compiles and nominally functions at first glance is the very first hurdle, literally the easiest thing that exists in software development. And we're supposed to take all human intervention out of the equation based on that alone? Are you fucking mad?
