"It takes a village to raise a child"

the village used to be made of relatives and close friends, all living in close proximity, all willing and capable to look after small children.

now you get your mother in law to visit every 2 weeks or ship your child off to daycare to be Cocomelon'd.

if both parents are working and you can't afford a full time nanny (so if you're not rich), your child will be turbo-normified by the public system.

i'm having a kid next year and we don't have anywhere close to a village-like support community. we want to live in a city, not in the countryside or the suburbs because we're still young and want to have a good social life.

i started working on some products to help myself and others find their own "village", starting with a directory of maternity tools in top western cities. link in bio, any feedback welcome.

I am slowly becoming an opencode influencer at my day job. it's taken over my life.

my default stack for projects is opencode inside modal sandboxes, following Ramp's cloud agents.

I used Argon in oc to create some content and it did remarkably well.
The copy was undistinguishable from human content, except for a few em dashes, concise and in good taste.
The videos were remotion animations that were smooth and remained on target.

Hot take: Big cities are the loneliest places on earth to have a baby.

9 million people around you in London or NYC.
Yet 66% of parents feel isolated, and 38% say they have ZERO people supporting them (Ohio State study).

Everybody is 35, lives 2 hours from their parents, and nobody knows their neighbours. The density is fake.

@JoshuaBarzon would love to see plotted access to community for mothers, like parent groups, antenatal fitness etc

[Zamolxis @bogzilla7]

for 99% of human history, a mother had 15 alloparents around her, friends and relatives who held the baby 50% of the day.

today we lock one adult in a 2-bed flat in a suburbian hellscape for hours a day, call it the "nuclear family," and act shocked when 1 in 4 develop postpartum depression.

you aren't failing. you’re doing a 15-person job solo.

@pronounced_kyle the wild thing is that an agent, somewhere, is building a business plan based on this tweet

@DavidOndrej1 might be the last one where our input matters. soon relying on its advice will be worth more than relying on past experience.

[Zamolxis @bogzilla7]

the main problem is decay rate I think. early software has high decay and non techies will give up maintaining it before it's stable enough.
the lindy effect is so true in software. an MVP needs constant attention to survive, for a miriad of random reasons, tokens expire, cpu not scaled right and overloads, database chokes.
as you firefight, you introduce robustness and lower the decay rate.
even though every problem can be oneshotted with a prompt, non techies will get overwhelmed and give up after issue no. 2.

@yongfook all I hear is capturing attention is changing, builders will continue to build, even if distribution is moving into fewer and fewer hands.

@levelsio That's why x402 is going to become critical to making WiFi money.
good indexing (SEO for llms) -> charge traffic -> users don't even know they're using your tools. Brand awareness will be more important for llms than for humans

@alexanderrX_ Just got a Vizsla, right now it's a smelly rat with trex energy, but apparently worth it in the end!

@DavidOndrej1 What's the difference between all of these.

@GRoditiD @jeffdafo I think you have your answer. The opportunity cost of spending time and effort optimising for token usage is offset by guzzling tokens to ship faster.
