Love the problem, not the solution.

- jlengrandI never come to complain about websites, but clicking on this thing made my chrome freeze for a whole second on my MBP. What has Google become xD
- TY for the article. You made me look into my server, and also found some strange activity on my docker containers. Good call!
- Better, but the very first link I'm given is "Coursera to Combine with Udemy to Empower the Global Workforce with Skills for the AI Era" ^^
- Those acquisition numbers will just keep becoming larger and larger until one day, when I'm old enough, someone will just acquire the only other player left in the field and Earth will be one single megacorporation.
- Just give it time
- Between this, the ads on paid plans, and the fragmentation of catalogues, we've come full circle.
- excerpt 33 of why those platforms will end up dying, and everyone will go back to the old ways. Greed is such a powerful enshittification factor
- Really? Darn, that is such BS. I was already looking out to be fair, only reason I'm still there is because of my family plan and older parents who will struggle to switch.
That being said, I don't mind additional plans to be fair. Let me pay for what I use, not what you force down my throat. What I mind is the constant enshittification.
- And worse, when you search they KNOW what you want to watch and will show you EVERYTHING they have that is NOT what you want. Infuriating, I reverted back to the old ways a year back and haven't regretted it.
Same with Spotify, who has a solid catalog that I was happy to pay for. Now I pay double, for podcasts, shows, and now even freaking videos that I have never wanted or asked for and have no choice to not take.
And now they also the audacity to show me ads on PAID PLANS.
They don't deserve our money, customer focus is long gone.
- Genuinely hope some of that money is going to Bugsink, because that's the only way we keep seeing those alternatives alive and kicking
- Interesting pricing model, and it seems the pain of Sentry is getting real those days. Many folks need something simpler, that just works. Totally support the idea. The alternative starting with a G has been mentioned a few times already, so I'll also mention that's been operating in the space and that I happily use : https://www.bugsink.com/. It's trying to solve the exact same pain.
Disclaimer : I know the owner :), so I may be biased. But generally I like to see more niche alternatives to the massive players in the field
- > I had a running service written in htmx for some time. It is a clinic opening hour service to inform my patients when I will be available in which clinic. (Yes, I am not a programmer, but a healthcare professional.)
-> that was pretty freaking cool to read, loved it
also chuckled at the idea of my website making, health professional going all "What the fuck." in front of his codebase.
- Well, as a potential end customer, I want to know why I can trust you. You product is free, and you're handling my money. You telling me your revenue model is through merchants gives me the confidence you're not gonna pull me a weird one.
Could be as simple as "But how do you make money then" in the FAQ.
- The way we intend to make money is off of merchants in the future. -> Is this on the website? Couldn't see it anywhere and that makes it a big nono for me
- when was the last time this happened to you?
- Was so excited about Remarkable, and got disappointed with basically everything I was excited about. Not for me. I do look like the look and feel of the thing though, shame i know it won't fit what I need.

- As someone who was hiring recently and received 350 irrelevant generated applications within 3 hours of opening the position form people using the same techniques you described, I disagree. Ended up closing it altogether and use my local network instead. Found people in a couple weeks with much higher signal to noise ratio. I hate it because it gives less chances to people out there, but it was just too much randomness.
I'm in Europe though, it might be a difference.
- Did you read his conclusion?
"I wrote this entire article in the Claude Code interactive window. The TUI flash (which I've read is a problem with the underlying library that's hard to fix) is really annoying, but it's a really nice writing flow to type stream of consciousness stuff into an editor, mixing text I want in the article, and instructions to Claude, and having it fix up the typos, do the formatting, and build the UX on the fly.
Nearly every word, choice of phrase, and the overall structure is still manually written by me, a human. I'm still on the fence about whether I'm just stuck in the old way by preferring to hand-craft my words, or if models are generally not good at writing.
"
Either he's lying, or you're wrong.
Agree on the structure part. I mostly read it as a piece from someone who's having fun with the tool. Not a structured article for future generations.
- *EU politicians exempt themselves from this surveillance under "professional secrecy" rules. They get privacy.
This alone tells me which way I should weigh in on this law. They know what they're doing.
