Just made a quick edit to some code myself, instead of asking Claude Code to do it, and it felt so good. Like old times.
Rag-and-bone man.
If that's true, it raises an interesting question: how do you market a software product that has a TAM of 50 users? Curious what you think, @justinjackson.ca
Scott Werner suggests in worksonmymachine.ai/p/the-great-... that by dramatically lowering the cost of making software, AI could make “micro-businesses” that sell products tailored to fewer than 50 customers viable.

I love when you can see the drummer's eyes.
When I write Ruby, I don’t often think about which memory address is being put in the accumulator.
If vibe coding is a higher level of abstraction then it is the leakiest fucking abstraction I’ve ever seen.
I've been asked that question by doctors, and I just break out laughing. Like, who are you kidding? Yes. Of course.
It would be so funny to write a dial-up+telnet BBS with a working FidoNet.
This is a side-project I've wanted to do for a long time -- that and writing a BBS.
This is legit, but it's often too eager. Regularly, I ask a pointed question like: "Doesn't that fail to handle X, Y, and Z?" and then it's like "You're right, let me change everything." I actually want to discuss pros and cons, so I have to preface with: "Don't change anything, let's just talk..."
Yes.
A vinegar valentine that reads: "Bookworm. Take your long nose outa that book to read this cheery note. We wish you'd eat those doggone books 'cause you sure get our goat. You're duller than that junk you read those books of yours all stink; Your head is filled with worthless tripe and your veins with printer's ink!"
Oh no! Someone gave me a vinegar valentine!
Jeez, the For You feed is so good!
My little side-project ErwinDB got a mention in the latest issue of Postgres Weekly! postgresweekly.com/issues/635
There's a pragmatic anti- side that is simply more vocal about the challenges that are being introduced to the practice of software engineering. I do still see complaining about "unreasonable" anti- takes, but I don't see the actual takes. Maybe you would, given your reach.
I think it's rare to find individuals that embody all the bullet points of your definition of reasonable take, but in the aggregate it's all there. Like, the hype side is more "look what I can do now" and not "this changes everything."
My impression, based on my feed, not on my interactions (of which I have few), is that it may have changed in the past month. I see a lot of chatter that the discussion here is better: more focused on interesting projects and techniques for agentic dev and less on hype, grift, and doom.
Oh! 😅

It should make a flushing sound.
It will soon!
The Deacon went quiet mid-patrol, which left Polecats operating blindly, allowing conflicting branches to pile up until the MQ turned into a monkey knife fight, at which point the Refinery froze trying to arbitrate total chaos.

OMG, I just set up my agent swarm! LFG!!!!
