I wonder what it will look like 6 months from now

Why does the latest Stream Deck update require 770 MB on my hard disk?

It's just a tiny panel with a few programmable buttons ๐Ÿคจ

For simple tasks, yes.
But we are not there yet with complex systems.
I agree that this will happen eventually.

The scary part is that less and less engineers will be reviewing code. The security issues that are about to hit us will be crazy. ๐Ÿคช

TUIs are the hot thing right now. โœจ

I'm sure, Claude Code had some influence here.

Funnily, I grew up with TUIs, just like this one ๐Ÿ˜…

The usage limits of Codex 5.3 are insane compared to Opus 4.6 ๐Ÿคฏ

Itโ€™s almost impossible to exhaust them.

And I didnโ€™t notice much difference in results so far.

I will never understand why Apple Mail is so freaking bad.

Search almost never works.

Email content is visible in the preview but doesnโ€™t load when opening the message.

Sort order of messages gets messed up occasionally.

Itโ€™s not a complicated product.
I donโ€™t even ask for AI at this point. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Absolutely ๐Ÿ’ฏ
One of the best PMFs Iโ€™ve ever witnessed. And it was just a โ€œfunโ€ side project.

This is wild. ๐Ÿคฏ

Not even 3 months ago ClawdBot came
into existence.

A bit later, Anthropic enforced a name change on that open source project, which is now called OpenClaw.

And now OpenClaw is joining OpenAI.

If you target the perfect pain point, anything is possible.

Claude usage limits hit like quitting smoking all over again. You donโ€™t realize how deep the habit runs until itโ€™s suddenly gone.

Alright, switching back to Codex for now. ๐Ÿ˜…

From what I see around me, non-engineers far outnumber engineers when it comes to using OpenClaw. ๐Ÿฆ€

With all the cool things you can do with such a tool, Iโ€™m worried that many users have no idea about the dangers of prompt injections.

One of my first printers ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ was ready to go after I turned it on.

The next one took a few seconds to be ready.

A few printers later it got worse and worse. ๐Ÿ˜’

My current printer does all sorts of ๐Ÿ’ฉ for minutes before I can send it a print job. ๐Ÿ˜ก

Are we moving backwards with print technology?

Why is there still no nested search ๐Ÿ” capability in VSCode?

"Files to include" should allow to reuse the last search results.
This would be such a low hanging fruit and would make the search 100x more powerful.

People only see the amazing end result, but fail to dig deeper to understand all the pain and suffering that lead to that success.

End the best part is when they say youโ€™ve been just very lucky. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

In the age of ChatGPT and all the other AI innovations, I donโ€™t get why Alexa & Siri still suck. ๐Ÿคฏ

Itโ€™s like talking to a very old person with bad hearing.

You ask for a simple task and you get an unrelated response.

Or better yet, my Alexa pretends to be completely deaf sometimes.

Frustrating ๐Ÿ˜
