It was going downhill way before AI.

cat-snatcheron Coding Is Not Solved

For example?

cat-snatcheron Coding is not solved

I was being sarcastic. I’m actually a self-certified AI shill and personally paid by Dario and Sam for each and every post!

cat-snatcheron Coding is not solved

Because every time I see AI integration anywhere (and it's everywhere) I have an emotional breakdown and my day is ruined

cat-snatcheron When did Google get so weird?

I actually like the AI overview because most of the time it answers my question perfectly and I don’t need to click through multiple results (because they kinda suck now). I started treating the search more as a once off ai prompt rather than searching for keywords etc. I tried Kagi but it also kinda sucked and I was underwhelmed. Sue me.

cat-snatcheron Fuck it, make it anyway

Everyone working in warehouses should stop using forklifts and use their hands like real creatives!

cat-snatcheron Fuck it, make it anyway

"You didn't bring anything to life. You just described how it should be done by the computer using code. The CPU is doing the real work!"

cat-snatcheron Fuck it, make it anyway

You did a wonderful job of constructing a strawman and DESTROYING it in your comment! AI can't build an e-signing solution, but you, the expert of experts, can do it! Good job!

cat-snatcheron Learning more about Claude's mathematical capabilities

> The LLM does not experience reality

You're the one obviously not getting it.

cat-snatcheron Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code

The UX team would never allow it. You gotta stay minimal and and definitely can't have any acknowledgement that a non-ideal user experience exists.

cat-snatcheron I sent an Ethernet packet

No it's called a slice.

cat-snatcheron Care

Everyone can see that today's UX experience is needlessly slow and buggy. I don't think that's a surprise to people who care about UX. And most people (your average joe) don't care about UX. This article is only being read by people who care about UX, and they already know how bad everything is. It reads just a bit like a rant and it's a bit like doomscrolling news. What would be interesting is a take on fixing this.
