Using the "let run multiple agents run amok" approach you surely get a lot of "i don't like that part"-feature requests, yes.

In my opinion, a good engineer is not good because he understands every single obscure technical detail, but because he can build solutions that the people using his technology actually want. The list of things they don't want on the other hand is endless.

You could argue that you did that to entertain your social media followers and gain more of them, which is somehow a material gain.
Fruity loops is the producer in that example
> It's clear which side of that dichotomy you land on, for better or worse.

This is not a binary, you are boxing in a person you had no detailed conversation with

I am clearly not the target audience, but as a hobbyist that has used da vinci resolve at points i understand basically nothing of what the software actually is supposed to do
Adobes moat is being the industry standard, and the wealth of documentation and tutorials and features like integrating with industry standards (printers, cameras, exotic formats). I can't imagine every company going through the hassle to have people relearn their complete stack when hiring new people because the have the n-th possible "adobe replacement" software.
I'm struggling with the audience? The main thing about Adobe right now is millions of hours of youtube videos that show me how to do stuff. I would be completely lost with this software

It seems he doesn't want ANY electronics, which is frankly ridiculous. The steering wheel has looked like the one from a flighter jet for decades now. There is electronics in everything, even the helmets.

Re:Tesla takes on $30B in credit as it approaches unprofitability on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @02:24AM (#49905148)
When was the last release of a new car from Tesla? When did they do anything exciting? Tesla is going in 5 directions at once, none of it with conviction, bleeding money with the CEO addicted and focused mainly on pity battles online most of the time besides managing 5 companies at this point.

Tesla itself made a turn for the worse over the years and there are a lot of things to criticize honestly

Re:Musk, the Movie on Monday September 28, 2026 @01:21AM (#49873955)
He's not trying to colonize mars, he's trying to get power and wealth and for you to like him. Nothing irks this man more than someone who doubts he is a saviour. It is reasonable to demand we fix the planet we currently inhabit, rather than believe a ketamine-addict that the better solution is to just let it go to hell and move on.

You mean for example the gas turbines he's running without permit to power his data centers?
Nothing says a hegemony has to form, this is not a given. Power vacuums can be filled by different actors at once.
China is making trade deals and integration left and right and even Canada and Mexico are looking in other directions and cooperate more closely with china and eu. Maybe not a single power has to hold power

Yep, that's exactly what i thought at first look. This looks like one of those "letting-steam-off" mails you bin after thinking it through after cooling off.

Everybody that is concerned about their data ownership and residency, and how the US political system is behaving right now. There is a huge incentive to cut off ties with API and subscription providers, especially those based in the US.

>Some buyers need the best and you can charge a premium for it.

Yes, and that is how you get a top-heavy k-shaped economy I believe. It is harder and harder to sell premium A+ products, because most people can only afford what works. If my old ice cream vendor charges me 25% more but puts chocolate sprinkles on it i'm going for the non-sprinkle version.

The US once was proud of its scientific achievements, now parts of it replaced that with being very proud of their ignorance
Is it an accident though? This seems very deliberate
And the european consumer doesn't want harmful products to be beta tested on the public.
So we deploy a technology no one should trust to the general public, for what exact reason?

You just opened a huge nostalgia portal, never thought that Dreamweaver would still be around, I used that somewhere around 2003 I believe. Good memories

The two of you might simply talking about different locations. This article seems very US focused, but in europe third places still exist, and it seems the US is having a severe decline in those.

I'd argue crypto casinos (pump.fun comes to mind) would not work without stablecoins because no one would back them with real dollars.

One point is missing for me - you get lazy. People are less and less equiped to think about complex problems the more they RELY on this for coding. Also this article is just about coding.
Depends on the context - in a scripting language where you have some kind of console you just don't copy all lines, and see what each pipe does one after another. This is pretty straight forward. (Not talking about compiled code though)
More big money swooping up journalism, what could go wrong.
