They look like earthworm that like to live near ice and eat algae. What is the nightmare fuel?
clear scoleciphobia if I've ever seen it

mumbisChungo commented on A staff engineer's journey with Claude Code sanity.io/blog/first-atte... · Posted by u/kmelve
I'm finding what's happening right now kinda bizarre.
The funny thing is - we need less. Less of everything. But an up-tick in quality.
This seems to happen with humans with everything - the gates get opened, enabling a flood of producers to come in. But this causes a mountain of slop to form, and overtime the tastes of folks get eroded away.
Engineers don't need to write more lines of code / faster - they need to get better at interfacing with other folks in the business organisation and get better at project selection and making better choices over how to allocate their time. Writing lines of code is a tiny part of what it takes to get great products to market and to grow/sustain market share etc.
But hey, good luck with that - ones thinking power is diminished overtime by interacing with LLMs etc.

Sometimes I reflect on how much more efficiently I can learn (and thus create) new things because of these technologies, then get anxiety when I project that to everyone else being similarly more capable.
Then I read comments like this and remember that most people don't even want to try.

Seems completely unenforceable.
My companies have posted an awful lot of job ads in earnest over the years that haven't found suitable candidates, despite an absolute barrage of slop resumes.

Between this, the forced social media disclosure, the alleged entry denials for memes and the detaining of people I'm just not going to go to travel to the USA anymore.
For that level of risk I'd rather go see Shenzhen frankly.
Yes, it was a sad moment, years ago now, the day I realized that I'd likely never travel to China. Sadder still to acknowledge I'd feel safer doing so than entering the modern US.
Everyone I know personally still loves steam. We hate more than a few banks and strongly dislike the visa/mastercard duopoly but steam is great. Guessing the game drought is causing some news publications to reach for a story.
After using steam for over 20 years I'd say I feel quite neutral about steam, but actively disdainful toward the alternatives.

No matter how right the AI crowd is, elements of it are/will be a bubble.
No matter how right the bubble crowd is, the market becoming irrationally exuberant for a brief period of time does not invalidate the technology or the rapid change we'll see as a result of it.
You might think the people doing politics are manipulative ladder climbers, but they're climbing the same ladders available to you, so you should be one too.
