  • AI will create the most cursed entry jobs humans have yet to see.

    First job in the old days doing WordPress, managing someone’s vomit inducing PHP? Gone.

    Jobs with jQuery spaghetti calling dozens of asp APIs like a rat’s nest no rat can traverse? Gone.

    Welcome to the future: Fixing some “business” guy’s vibe coded personal hell made just for you.







  • Every morning on my way to work I see people juggling in all sorts of ways. Personally the most weird and socially acceptable way is to jog downtown. Downtown is terrible for jogging, dangerous drug addicts (no offense, just not the safest people to be around), dangerous drivers. an entire landscape built around cars, anxious and pissed of drivers trying to find their way out of the traffic hell hole the city created.

    A park is fine.

    There’s lots of valid reasons for this.

    Imo the biggest one people don’t account for is this: Dev salaries are incredibly high. if you want fast performance the most optimal way would be to target the platform and use low level native code, so C++ or Swift.

    It would cost you like 20x more than just using electron and it will cost you bigly if you have multiple platforms to maintain.

    So it turns out having 1 team crunching out an app on electron with hundreds of dependencies is cheaper, naturally that’s what most companies will do.

    Don’t want to use electron ? Then it’s kind of the same issue except this time you’re using Java and C# and you have to handle platform specific things on your own (think audio libraries for example). It’s definitely doable but will be more costly than using a cross platform chromium app.
