Nothing Works and Everyone Is Euphoric

3 months ago by ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ to c/programming

As I’m writing this, we’re in the middle of an AI-induced mass psychosis. People are literally token-maxxing themselves into hospital beds, scrambling to capture some of that market value before everything is automated away. I can’t blame them. Models keep getting better, programmers are being laid off left and right. We’ve been repeatedly told that AI will write 100% of the code by the end of the year. Whether that’s true or not, this may not be the best time to sit back.

I have no hope for my car’s Android Auto or LG’s stupid website — but I choose to believe that everyday software will get better as a result of this frustration. We’re already seeing [acts of rebellion] against the current state of macOS and Windows, and I hope the trend will spread across the stack.

I was hopeful, until I clicked on "acts of rebellion" to see that he's talking about omarchy...

Now, maybe omarchy has gotten much better in the 8 or so months since this critique was first posted?
