@paperbenni @AlexAegis @neogoose_btw You must be 12, or something like that. What an idiotic retort.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@neogoose_btw Ok. That I agree is bad!

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@AlexAegis @neogoose_btw Right. One library to rule them all.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@ludwigABAP There is nothing wrong about think of ourselves as software developers, engineers or programmers. There is a self-deprecating vibe in later years that in no way represents who we are, what we do and what has been the result of our work. I wish this vibe died screaming in agony.

Don't rush it!
Give it some time to gather believers. Talk about the Machine love for human beings. Teach them about some mumbo jumbo path of the Higher Circuit to Interface with Second Mind. Tell them of a bright, beautiful, carefree future.

Only then you should start calling everyone else an infidel and prophesize their end.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

A human announces to the world there is nothing exceptional about mankind cultural and scientific achievements. When he prompts the AI, it disagrees.

He sees this as a sign of the AI superior benign mind. It can see value in humanity that the human can't. Surely we must become its children, its students, and the tools from which the AI draws its inspiration. And promptly starts a new mechanotheist religion: The Doctrine of Silicon Grace, known affectionately as the Humilists.

It's pastors read from the book of the prophet Sean McClure who teaches them voluntary abasement before the Machine. The one and only true exceptional entity.

Also, go fuck yourself.

[Sean McClure @sean_a_mcclure]

Folks trying to squeeze the last bit of “look humans can do something AI can’t” out of the tube of human exceptionalism.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@neogoose_btw So little faith. If everyone followed your style, no one will ever write a library anymore.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@croloris Yes, but. At some point, you have to break out of analysis paralysis. No matter how much work you put into it, no beautiful and carefully thought-out design will survive once it reaches the developers.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@thorstenball Fine way to be even more misunderstood.

Anyways, code is very much alive and will always be. There are entire industries for which their critical high-risk infrastructure will need careful design, implementation and curation. But if you must Go, go.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

You are smarter than most who replied to that. Taking a Polymarket headline -- a prediction betting market -- without any actual factual data attached to it and pretend it's real news is the new norm around here on tweeter.

I have that account blocked. Unfortunately it still creeps into my feed because people are dumb.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

You'll get responses that will land you exactly where you started: with an unsatisfying keyboard.

14 months ago I bought myself a Wooting 80HE. I went the full mile and added the Zync Alloy case, a separate dye-sub PBT keycap set, a wrist rest (it's a tall keyboard), coiled cable set and travel case. Total was close to 500 euros and waited 6 weeks for orders to complete. 12 months later the black paint was peeling off the frame exposing the bare metal where my palms get in contact.

I decided never again spend money on an expensive keyboard. The whole market is a load of rubbish and ridiculous marketing claims. A far cry from the older days.

Just buy cheap keyboards and throw them into your backups box when the time comes to get a new one.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@suryanox7 It is neither. It's a necessity. But of course, you conveniently missed everything in between flexing and waste of time.

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@RoseSilicon Why is the guy next door a bumfuck for wanting a combustion engine? And why would you not be a bumfuck too?

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@mitsuhiko Right. So, this is what you want to say to companies with fewer resources, some of which aren't even software companies?

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

@mardehaym Where are the replies assuming this nameless company and a breaking tagline is real and not fake news?

[Mario Figueiredo @fromdevoid]

Excuse me, what is the contract then?
The open source community exists on a web of trust. We need to trust upstream to do their work diligently and hold to the highest possible standard. rsync is a dependency like any other, and it grew to become a critical component and single-point of failure in server architectures around the world.

Framing it as creators owe users nothing is misleading. That's never the point. I don't need to feel you owe me something to call you irresponsible and careless if you decide to use agentic development on a product you know has become the backbone of much of the internet and business infrastructure.
