Socialism was never a working-class movement.
It has always been a project of intellectuals: academics, writers, journalists, and professional theorists.
It appeals to those who prefer grand systems, simple moral narratives, and top-down control.
It flatters the belief that society should be redesigned by people who “know better,” giving intellectuals a starring role they don’t receive in a market economy.
In many ways, socialism is a luxury belief.
every job will turn into explaining your intentions to ai
explaining what you want to ai is surpringly time consuming, coders already spend 80% of their time doing it, and this will be true for everyone

Thoughtworks internal IT use a workflow for agentic programming called Structured-Prompt-Driven Development (SPDD). @WeiZhang595190 and Jessie Jie Xia describe how this works with a simple example plus details in a github project.

Here’s a secret that every genuinely original thinker knows: there are no original ideas. there are only original combinations. Every “breakthrough” is two existing ideas from different domains meeting for the first time inside someone’s head.
The person who reads only within their field will only ever have ideas that their field has already had.
This is why the most interesting people are almost always polymaths.
Go wider. Read the thing that has nothing to do with your work. Talk to the person who has nothing in common with you. Visit the place that makes no sense on your itinerary. The irrelevant input is the one that will combine with everything else and produce something nobody’s ever seen.
"People are always angry at anyone who chooses very individual standards for his life; because of the extraordinary treatment which that man grants to himself, they feel degraded, like ordinary beings."
—Nietzsche
The cost of code is coming down, so we will consume more of it.
The productivity of coders is going up, so they will become more valuable.
Coding now includes training and driving models.

@SilverB89630825 ta vrsta feminizma je nanela najvise stete upravo zenama a da nisu ni svesne. btw nisam primetio da su zene izjednacene kada pricamo recimo o vatrogascima, elektricarima, gradjevincima, soferima itd zar ne?
It's probably accelerating from here. More code, more software engineers. More apps, more SaaS usage and revenue. More cloud consumption. And a whole lot of tokens through it all.
If the cost of hiring software engineers was previously a bottleneck on software deployment, then making it cheaper to ship code means the entire software ecosystem will start to grow faster.
Just realized why I’m so addicted to Claude Code.
It’s literally a video game for adults. You get stuck on a level, try everything you can to beat it, and eventually break through.
And every level you stack skills and get stronger.
We've added a new command to Claude Code called /insights
When you run it, Claude Code will read your message history from the past month. It'll summarize your projects, how you use Claude Code, and give suggestions on how to improve your workflow.
Even before AI the easy days at work were when I could just code all day. Hard part was always collaborating with other teams, figuring out which systems we needed to use, or build, product constraints, etc
But ya the ability of indie hackers to churn out mountains of slop is🚀
