That's cool and all, but can we pass a law that this can ONLY be used for games? Because I remember the web when flash was everywhere. The games might have been fun, but everything else sucked humongous balls. Let's not get back to that.

I know this is not the explicit meaning, but lol, intelligence isn't a commodity among humans, let alone LLMs

Congrats on making it work pretty much flawlessly on mobile, it's kinda rare for terminal-themed sites. It was pretty fun to navigate around, too =)
One (I think?) bug report and one suggestion:
- bug: can't get past the 5th project on mobile, whole screen just go black and I have to reload the page. - suggestion: maybe make cd ~ or something like that bring the user back to the actual initial state, with the login banner and stuff. Just running clear results in an empty shell, and the user has to remember to run help again.
P.S.: I ran the secret command. You son of a gun XD
P.P.S.: Two suggestions, actually: display your CV with pdfjs or something, or make an HTML version. It's annoying to have to download files.
Man, I feel bad for Docker, the company. Created the open source project that almost single-handely revolutionized deployments, development environments, and cloud computing, but sorta never managed to stick a product.

I can't tell if I find it funny or sad how obvious it is that Roy needs to be on several psychiatric medications that he isn't on, and that he's on a fair amount of cocaine (or insert whatever uppers the kids are into nowadays) that he shouldn't be on.
I'm not sure I can trust the author's characterization of Roy, though. I got the impression that they don't like any of the people they interviewed (which, you know, fair), but that doesn't get even close to the depths of hatred towards Roy that they sub-textually exude throughout the article.
If their portrayal is even half accurate, though, that's a perfectly reasonable amount of hate.

I was enjoying the article until I got to this paragraph:
> Individual intelligence will mean nothing once we have superhuman AI, at which point the difference between an obscenely talented giga-nerd and an ordinary six-pack-drinking bozo will be about as meaningful as the difference between any two ants. If what you do involves anything related to the human capacity for reason, reflection, insight, creativity, or thought, you will be meat for the coltan mines.
Believing this feels incredibly unwise to me. I think it's going to do more damage than the AI itself will.
To any impressionable students reading this: the most valuable and important thing you can learn will be to think critically and communicate well. No AI can take it away from you, and the more powerful AI will get the more you will be able to harness it's potential. Don't let these people saying this ahit discourage you from building a good life.
I don't think that this is supposed to be a statement of the author's beliefs. The whole article is dripping with contempt for AI bros and silicon valley culture in general.
Maybe if you read past these paragraph it would have been clearer?

What's wrong with https://pyinfra.com/ ?
Intrinsically, nothing, I suppose, but it's very much not focused on cloud and IaC, it even says on the tin that it's more like Ansible.
Interestingly, I looked at github insights and found that this repo had 49 clones, and 28 unique cloners, before I published this article. I definitely did not clone it 49 times, and certainly not with 28 unique users. It's unlikely that the handful of friends who follow me on github all cloned the repo. So I can only speculate that there are bots scraping new public github repos and training on everything.
Maybe that's obvious to most people, but it was a bit surprising to see it myself. It feels weird to think that LLMs are being trained on my code, especially when I'm painfully aware of every corner I'm cutting.
The article doesn't contain any LLM output. I use LLMs to ask for advice on coding conventions (especially in rust, since I'm bad at it), and sometimes as part of research (zstd was suggested by chatgpt along with comparisons to similar algorithms).
Particularly on GitHub, might not even be LLMs, just regular bots looking for committed secrets (AWS keypairs, passwords, etc.)
from one extreme to another, notice the pattern.
