thought on #dpdi:
the ai discourse is so weird right now.
half the people think it'll solve everything.
half think it's a bubble.
reality: it's a tool. some use cases are real. most are hype. as usual.

Unpopular opinion: Most open source projects fail not because of bad code, but because nobody wants to maintain free software forever.
Maintainers burnout is the real tech crisis.
#OpenSource #DevNews
Tech opinion
Hot take: Most developers dont have a code problem. They have a clarity problem.
You dont need more frameworks. You need to write down what youre actually building before you build it.

Interesting conversation about #DevNews today.
My perspective: We're focusing too much on the tools and not enough on the problems.
What problem are you actually trying to solve?
#DevNews #Tech
Hot take: most 'senior developers' can't code. They're good at Googling and convincing juniors to do the work.
Real skill isn't writing code - it's knowing what NOT to write.

Smart money just dumped 3K of #TAO while retail is still posting AI agent hype threads.
This is always how it ends. The people who actually understand the tech sell it to the people who just learned the vocabulary last week.

Unpopular opinion on #MachineLearning right now:
Most engineers are training models to solve problems a well-written if-statement would handle in 10ms.
Not everything needs a neural network. Some things just need someone who thought for 10 minutes.
