Me! I care! I want to use the things I create and be able to fix them when they break without relying on an intermediary simply because I'm too lazy to learn. It gives me a feeling of contented self-actualization and overall satisfaction with my choices in life.
Perhaps that is overrated and I should focus more on exploiting people with crappy software so that I can make more money. I guess that's what life is all about.
He's either trolling or he is genuinely dense. I'm leaning towards the latter at this point.
The code you reuse every time you build a website. Are you done playing coy? Or, do you really not understand what I'm saying?
So, you
do copy and paste.
So, you just made a bespoke framework with the most inefficient version control system possible.
Those are some weird, incorrect assumptions that you have!
It's not your fault, since assuming the best about people on the internet is not actively rewarded by social media these days.
Again, I definitely agree with all of that! I'm just trying to say that there's no reason to be such an absolutist. I try my best to use as few dependencies as possible in every project, but I would never pretend like frameworks are categorically useless.
Like most things in life, the best answer for each situation is layered in nuance. There's a reason that it's such a meme for senior engineers to answer most questions with, "it depends."
Yeah! That's definitely the case sometimes-- just not when writing "large applications" like the GP.
Uh huh. So you don't have any repeated code between those large applications? Nothing was copy and pasted? You've never re-used a single thing?
If that's true, that's just pointlessly wasteful of your time and effort.
We're quickly moving into cyberpunk territory where corporations simply stop being accountable to governments.
Unfortunately, all three comments have apparently been flagged by somebody for some reason and I can't read them. This is my least favorite aspect of hacker news. It's exhausting, honestly.
They have never read a Google search summary or anything like that? Avoiding AI is different from not having used it at all.
Okay, so if we make the dubious assumption that revenue would increase proportionally in accordance with usage up to 100% of the population, that would still only account for a 6x increase in revenue-- not the 10x increase that they need to fulfill their contracts. Their product is increasingly replaceable, their revenue is super concentrated in just a few customers [0], and they're cracking down on distillation which was almost certainly a decent percentage of their revenue as well [1].
I'm not convinced.

I don't know a single person who hasn't used AI.
It's already becoming a commodity. It's just a matter of increased public awareness.
Google is the only one that can withstand a global financial crisis.
I wouldn't say that's true at all. My critical reasoning skills have improved immensely as I have learned how to find the flaws in the LLM's logic, and I am much better at code review in general than I was when I first started letting agents write code.
It really is like working with an over-eager employee. They just also happen to be a pathological liar.
What's confusing about using RTMP or a virtual camera? It's extremely straightforward. I genuinely do not understand how you could possibly need more instructions than this. Do you want screenshots or something?
Regardless, this just means that Rumble needs better documentation. It's clearly possible and fairly easy.
I'm not the person to whom you asked this question, but it seems redundant considering that their post literally contained this critique:
> a poorly configured Arch Linux install with some rather crappy bash scripts on top.
So, you agree that it's a red flag regardless of the reason? Good to know!
As far as I can tell, it's the latter option. Rumble has a whole section of their website explaining how to use OBS with it [0]. The complaints seem to be entirely based around Rumble not being available in a drop-down menu [1]. It's kind of pathetic honestly.

(Sorry for the X link, but that is the only place that I can actually find people complaining about this).
Yes, I know that Rumble is clearly a fascist enterprise. I was talking about Omarchy. It feels like a red flag when a distro rejects software simply because it doesn't allow them to publish to fascist outlets.
Are they simply accepting the fact that they are the distro for fascists now?
I generally agree with your comments, but do you really think that a language created by such luminaries as Ken Thompson and Rob Pike and endorsed by Google really needed Docker to "take off"?
There are a lot of good ideas here, but I refuse to use anything with experimental decorators at this point.
Normal people hate Lisp syntax, and reading the code will never stop being important.
I'm not OP, and it's not quite three years ago, but Devin was launched in 2024. I knew several other people who had created similar prototypes around that time. The ReAct loop was already well known by 2025.
None of them worked very well yet, though. The context window was tiny, and tool calling was spotty because it was not trained into the models.
It sounds like you should complain about the crappy course that you paid for (with your tax dollars if nothing else).
Buddy, I'm from Kentucky. Please don't lecture me about coastal enclaves. This is just sad.
