This is what happens when you message someone on another continent.
I wrote about how the internet actually works, from first principles. Includes interactive simulations to help you grasp the concepts with less effort.
For a very long time I've been meaning to write something that communicates my understanding and love for software. I finally got the time.
I hope you enjoy reading it and makes your understanding a little better.

Complete decentralization in one protocol.
Gitopia v6 moves repo storage from platform to protocol: provider network, onchain proofs and slashing.
150MB free, then $2/GB. Providers earn LORE. No rate limits or repo takedowns.
Revenue flywheel starts now. Details in thread π
Gitopia v6.0.0 Software Upgrade Proposal is now live for voting! π
This is a major milestone upgrade that introduces the decentralized storage network, a foundational step towards a more resilient and censorship-resistant Gitopia!

A major upgrade to Gitopia
With the v6 upgrade, we're integrating proof-of-storage directly into the network consensus. This enables a decentralized network of providers to guarantee your code's availability and integrity.
Full proposal below. π

The next evolution of Gitopia is here! π
We're thrilled to announce the upcoming v6 network upgrade, introducing decentralized repository storage.
This is a major milestone towards creating a truly censorship-resistant and community-owned platform for developers.

Programming as we know it is evolving.
- Simple apps can be created with just prompts.
- Complex apps are augmented with prompts to handle uncertainty.
This isn't replacing programming, it's becoming our newest abstraction layer.
There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.
@svpino I feel like i'm learning to program again. I am constantly trying to generate code via prompting even though sometimes i can write that code faster compared to figuring out the prompt and context so that the AI assistant can understand my requirement.
@dankvr The next great wrapper will be agentic and ubiquitous. The gap between problem and solution will keep on getting smaller and we wonβt have to do lot of context switching
"AI is going to make us all superhuman, because all the other things that it can do, it'll do for us, allows us to take our time and energy and focus it on the really really valuable things that we do. And so we'll take our own resource which is you know energy intensive, attention intensive, and we'll dedicate to the few 100,000 pixels (graphic processing anology) and use AI to superres, upres it to everything else."
Great podcast and impressive production quality β¨
"Suppose the work that you do continues to be important but the effort by which you do it went from a week long to almost instantaneous. You know that the effort of drudgery basically goes to zero. What is the implication of that?"
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's Vision for Your Future, episode 2 of Huge Conversations, is now live! https://t.co/RsL0viSmCr
Our goal with Huge Conversations is to explore what the most influential people building the future are imagining it will look like, so you can decide for yourself what you think of it.
In this episode, we go deep on the future @nvidia is building and what it really means for all of us...
"What would happen if i have a software programmer with me all the time and whatever it is i can dream up the software programmer could write for me. What would happen if i just had a seed of an idea and i rough it out and all of a sudden a prototype of a production was put in front of me? And what how would that change my life and how would that change my opportunity? And what does it free me to be able to do and so on so forth?"
It makes complete sense for @gitopiaDAO to enter AI.
Code and AI are becoming inseparable - every developer can feel this shift
The way we build software will never be the same,
and we're here for it! π
