@spirodonfl It's like those dudes that sell those "how to get insanely rich in 90 days" seminars. If your system is so great at generating wealth, why not just spend all day using it to make money instead of hosting seminars in hotel conference rooms to sell your system to others?

@Jonathan_Blow I can't express how excited I am that you are using real musicians for the soundtrack. Wonderful.

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really). It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely. The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture. We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying. I worry.

I started using the Internet before Zuckerberg encouraged everyone to use their real names. So I'll continue to remain pseudonymous. Also, how does a "real" name and photo prove anything? I could make up a realistic fake name and this guy wouldn't be the wiser.

A good rule for Twitter health: If you use your real name, And your real face, On your Twitter? Never, ever engage with someone who doesn't use their own name + face on their Twitter.

So many people in replies puzzled. "Bro, why not use Process Explorer from sysinternals?" You're missing the point. The time-to-market mentality has clouded your mind. There are people in this world that have passion. Some of them have passion for programming. They love growing their knowledge in how systems work, diving deep into internals, learning how to do things in a software realm so that it's aligned with how hardware works. Some coined the term "mechanical sympathy" People explore their passions. They don't necessarily want to: - maximize the efficiency - beat the competition - deliver value - sell the product - run a business - automate all the inconveniences - use higher level languages to be concerned only about their unlimited ideas or w/e There are people, who left to their own devices, would be very happy to be in their room, tinkering. That's it.

Just found out an active File Pilot community member @thomasklemenc made a task manager inspired by it! Handmade from scratch, C++, win32, D3D custom renderer, 1.55 MB. More of this in my feed, less AI slopware.

@cmuratori @iquilezles I tried PowerToys a while ago and had to uninstall it because it was such an unperformant piece of crap.

@benljbrooks The Germans probably do have a wider selection of bread types in a typical bakery. But somehow that gets turned into us either having no bakeries at all or having no variety whatsoever in our bakeries.
