> It was only with Claude Code that I realized I never actually enjoyed programming

This is so real!

20 or 30 years ago, programming was reserved for people who were truly devoted to it, even when the work was a nightmare of difficulty.

Now, when I talk to programmers in their 20s and 30s and ask which program they first fell in love with, there's usually no answer.

I'm glad they've stopped pretending otherwise.

They fell in love with the money.

Nothing really wrong with that though. The amount of tech used by the average person has also increased dramatically in the same time period.

You could argue the same has happened for computer use in general or for many things.

Agreed, the only UI demo I could find was in https://github.com/Silo-Server/silo-apple

I'm thinking of trying it out though to see if there's any noticeable differences in performance etc.

> Jellyfin forced me to organize my files into Show/Season folders

Regarding this, try out sonarr/radarr with hard links.

No don't, sonarr is definitely worse if you have a unstructured media folder. I currently use it and its good, but I remember when first starting out with pile of files in semi random folders it being a mess to start up. Like some of the restrictions of the bulk importer made very little sense. Also, sonarr is tied to a single metadata provider which sometimes makes very unpopular decisions about the naming of series and episodes. When pluribus was initally released, they insisted on naming the series "plur1bus" even though no other source, imdb or even AppleTV used that as the official name. This broke auto downloading for the season.

Does sonarr/radarr fix not having to use Show/Season structure?

I use jellyfin with Infuse, Kodi, mpv-shim and a couple of mobile clients as well. No major issues so far, even my parents use it via Kodi.

Jellyfin can support intro/outro skipping as well with a plugin. https://github.com/intro-skipper/intro-skipper

i've used this plugin a lot, and it is nice, but a bit hit-or-miss. it analyzes all episodes of a show to start seeing a pattern in the beginning of shows, or checks chapters which my files rarely had. works well for most shows, but if a show has unique intros for every episode, it doesn't really work. also had trouble with 100% consistent intros, but i never really figured out why that happened.

kind of a 50% solution, works a lot of times but a lot of other times you still end up scrubbing. (also consider that if you install this plugin onto a large existing library, it's going to take a considerable amount of compute and real-world time to do complete it for every show).

That sounds like what I see with Plex, too. It definitely doesn't get it when the intros are unique. And if there's something later that's the same each show (an explanation of the game show, etc) it'll target it as the intro instead.

It's good most of the time, but not 100%.

ah i see, then they must use a similar process. i wonder how big streaming sites do it. underpaid global south workers who manually tag the intro for every episode, or do the files come pre-tagged by the production. maybe a mix of both.
