I read this type of (sour) comment more and more on this forum. To me it reads very cynical and I wonder what the author is trying to say with this. Are you perhaps negatively impacted by automatic coding?

elon musk saud that the next wave is agents (optimus human in a box) clicking around the old SaaS apps, not agents writing new apps to replace them

microsoft ceo said the same thing - agents will be using windows/office and be the bigger buyers of licenses

replacing SaaS software at this scale is hard, nobody will risk it, at least near term

Elon is a moron and microsoft CEO just says that because that's his hope, because that's only way they don't lose their market share.

"Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script" used to be BOFH lore, now it has become real. This is great.

AI can replace lawyers

but purely because lawyers lowered their standards to just "paste whatever AI hallucinated and send it to court"

But without knowing which stocks dropped, how can we make that link?

In another submission, Amazon, Oracle, Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet are all dropping. Are we supposed to think of them as SAAS companies now?

all of them have significant SaaS offering.

But the claim that's related to anthropic posting some markdown files is idiotic at best, malicious at worst

I don't understand why people think they know why stocks move up or down. There are clear cases from time to time, but in general the market doesn't explain itself. The reasons may not even be explainable in a way that's comprehensive to a human.

Reminds me of this question - why did the USSR collapse? You can describe dozens of influences which acted all at the same time, but there isn't a one paragraph summary answer.

Linux distributions contain a curated set of packages. And, if any, distros like Guix can import NPM crap and at least place it under an isolated container for work so the rest it's unharmed.

also you're getting at least some of crowd safety in it. If you're using Debian Testing or a rolling distro your package was probably tested by a bunch of people already.

If you're using stable/LTS branch, there were far more eyes on it too

And packages are signed, can't just hijack web domain to inject code

It's about as safe as trusting all the add-ons in your IDE, and all the packages your node app pulls from random package repos.

It's just the plausible blame that shifts.

If you read the script before you pipe it into your shell, it's safe.

And if that's not safe, then it's just as dangerous to trust that an unopened bottle of ketchup is safe.

Nothing is safe. Everything is a judgement. Being culpable is a professional service. Lucky people out-earn unlucky people. The world is a scary place.

Absolutely incorrect. You can do far easier due dilligence for IDE plugins
