It is. The graph on their front page shows exponential growth.

Yeah, after scrutinizing the graph more closely, I'm actually surprised that people are even taking this headline seriously. There's been far larger "plateaus" in the past. And the growth in usage just this year, just in the last couple months, is just astronomical.

For me the enjoyable part was always figuring how something worked, how to make it better, and how to design novel things.

Before, the architectural design was intrinsically coupled with the typing on a keyboard of the actual program.

Now it's tied to asking questions, frowning, telling the tool it sucks and how it should implement things instead.

Not much has changed?

I don't understand what this post is about. I own myfamily.name and I have host names like firstname.myfamily.name. What's wrong with that?

For me it's like reading that someone just discovered that grapes are sweet and wrote an article about their discovery.

Deno was dead the moment they went all in with being compatible with Node. Meanwhile, Bun's only raison d'etre is the lack of TCO in V8.

I close my eyes and hit the mute button. I probably deserve the death penalty.

I'm not a native speaker but my inner voice also switched to Russian accent very quickly!

And the compiler was horrendously slow for big projects on x86_84 until 2023.

Some absurdity here in Japan is that in order to do low-voltage work you need to be a certified "electrician", and it's a one-fit-all certification that doesn't even touch low-voltage work.

Here in Australia too. Can’t do anything until you’ve done a multi-year apprenticeship, even change a plug or a light fitting, or on the plumbing side you can’t change a tap.

Massive protectionism.

Weird turn of phrase very typical of AI.
