It's really sad that nobody is actually trying to be a real company these days. When Steve Jobs was asked that if he will ever sell Apple, he physically recoiled and scolded the person asking such things. Nowadays, all of these companies are being set up just to be acquired. Nobody has any ambition anymore to be long lasting, profitable and an actual business.
So basically the nobody wants to work of the business longevity world? What is the actual difference? If their goal is profitability and eventually retirement why not do it on an accelerated timescale and exit with millions in their 30s instead of hundreds of thousands in their 70s?

It's all fun and games until you realize the cool thing you made is locked into an overpriced cloud stack that will bleed you dry. "Vibe coders" seem to invariably end up offloading as much heavy lifting as possible to ultra-expensive PaaS/SaaS vendors, and those vendors are encouraging it (e.g. Vercel v0).
I think the real "vibe coders" in the end will be people like me. Making neat little personal projects that don't use many resources and can be relatively insecure because they don't matter much. I made wannawatchsomething.com with no knowledge of how it works and full knowledge that it's insecure and dumb. It still does what I want and I couldn't have done it a year ago so it's a net win.
It’s like you’re mad at the house slaves because they have it so good.
That person is basically you under less dire circumstances.
It is insanely disgusting and tone deaf to equate any of this to slavery.
Hard to tell if you’re a GPT account. Obviously you can care about all people; it’s not a zero-sum emotion. Your time is zero sum though, and you seem to be spending a lot of it just hating on people. And there’s many other loser accounts like you on here, moreso than I remember.
Is this the new form of opinion erasure? If you disagree it must be AI?
I would love to read some compelling analysis of why online public spaces are increasingly filled by cynical losers with crabs in a bucket mentality.
Caring about spoiled rich people = Intelligent Discourse
Caring about marginalized and needy people = Cynical Loser.
You are using people from a marginalized group (the poor), of which I am assuming you are not a part, as a bad faith shield to justify your anti-worker viewpoint.

Missed that by a mile.
This would be a shocking opinion, if we weren't in unprecedented times.
I wish we had more empathy and be kinder to people going through rough times, regardless of their wealth or position, or the duopoly they work for even, but it's also hard to completely ignore when the effect and impact is so huge.
Now, if you it makes you physically ill, I also wish you either find help or can get out of the situation you're in. Sincerely.
Well fear not for me. It is just hyperbole. Now it's a haiku.

Out of curiosity, what happens to you when a less privileged person thinks the same thing about you?
Well as long as they're not a white man, the only 2 privileges that I was afforded on the way up, then they're welcome to try absolutely any punishment they see fit. They're surely welcome to hate me. It is their right.
