I watched the same and I didn’t hear any marketing speak. He’s excited about his ideas, puts in the work and genuinely trying to make Linux accessible.
About calling Mac trash, I think he should have added “for engineers”. I like/use macOS and Omarchy both and they are meant for different audiences.
I started writing rust in this agentic era and all my prior experience with other languages still carries over and helps me spot code smell and bad architecture.
I had to learn the memory safety bits because I had no idea “what’s right” but rest of it was smooth.
Syntax fades away, you get to focus on higher level stuff and end up exploring new pathways; give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised how much of your experience is transferable.
Not sure about the other “mistakes” but this one is way too stupid to be evil :) Hanlon’s razor applies pretty well here.

Someone made a mistake, owned up to it and fixed it. No one is entitled to more than that for a free software.
Anyone with a bit of software experience knows it’s easy to miss things when you are doing your own tasks + context switching + giving reviews. We should exercise kindness and empathy instead of projecting evil intentions.
Fair enough. I don’t have a use case for the API yet but I am looking forward to the products that come out of this
As a Sindhi speaker myself, amazing stuff. The output is so good. This unlocks the vastness of the internet for millions of people. I am imaging something like NotebookLM but for under-served languages or a hotline where people can call and talk/learn about anything. Do you guys have plans to create b2c products yourself?
Unable to add Hong Kong. Keeps erroring out with city not found
React with Next.js (including API routes), Tailwind for styling, docker to containerise it, DigitalOcean to deploy it for cheap
This only applies to the use case of creating static websites with React. A lot of React websites are dynamic and comparable with websites built using PHP or other server-side frameworks. Even if you write html by hand while using PHP, you still need to maintain the server code and constant upkeep/maintenance will be required.
