Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.
The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.
AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.
And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.
We built the library.
Someone else started charging admission.
@sickdotdev I feel the biggest problem with it was the fact that they removed the function keys. If they could've found a way to keep both, then touch bar would be a superhit idea
@sickdotdev Fair point, and as a 100kg+ fat guy, I do agree. Airlines should charge us more, but unfortunately, laws exist against this policy, so they try to control the things they can control, i.e., luggage weight.
Exactly! If you are an technical person, who doesn't want to waste a day writing a functionality - use AI. If you're a non-tech guy just trying to build something for a real business with real users, don't even try.
A startup founder I know proudly told everyone he had built his entire SaaS product “without writing a single line of code.”
At first, it sounded impressive.
The UI looked polished.
The landing page was clean.
The dashboard worked.
Everything was stitched together using AI tools.
But the cracks started showing the moment real users came in.
A customer reported a billing issue.
He had no idea how the payment logic worked.
Another user found a security flaw.
He couldn’t trace where the bug was coming from because most of the backend was generated through prompts.
Then during an investor demo, someone asked a simple technical question:
“How does your system handle failed webhook retries?”
Silence.
He opened ChatGPT mid-call trying to figure out the answer.
That moment changed how I think about “AI builders.”
Using AI to move faster is smart.
Using AI without understanding what it’s building is dangerous.
There’s a huge difference between:
• accelerating execution
and
• renting intelligence temporarily
The best engineers I know use AI heavily.
But they can still explain every decision,
debug every layer,
and rebuild the system manually if they had to.
That’s the real skill.
Not prompting.
Understanding.
@getpeid Honestly, I need a new home launcher (@SmartLauncher) to handle multiple widgets and stack them so I don't have multiple screens filled with widgets. The only downside is I can't use Nothing widgets on another launcher.
@getpeid I still don't get why Nothing OS can't get stacked widgets! For a company that pushed widgets initially, you really haven't made any progress on it yet.
Prediction Post:
Due to the advancement in AI and Medical Science, we are only a few decades away from actual Cyborgs. I would say, in this century, for sure.
Initially, only the ultra rich will be able to afford it for any fatal conditions/accidents to replace any body part.
