Hard truths. Reinforces this authors reasons for a edging for a solution.

"expected" in place of "delay"
"modified" in place of "when"
- Include retry logic: Add a "retry_policy" field (e.g., exponential backoff) for failed callbacks

I think in English fortunately and it's an ever evolving language so, expanding as the world does. That is compared to the majority of people where I'm from; English was a second language they had to learn and the people that thought them weren't well equipped with the resources to do a good job.

These phases/time, saw power shifts and wealth redistribution! An undisputed fact even.
Your brother's "brutal assessment" speaks to the zeitgeist and varied opportunities scattered about in the many forms of posts, videos, rants/applaud, ... AI this or that that AI.
Wild idea: Enter Vibaslopium:
Think a community tool that "vibas" can use to share their code, snippets, context.md/spec/schema/other-coined-term. Slopium miners slop-piles in sandboxes and debug the code with or without the use of AI and proffer solutions. Users pay slopium for slop-pile tasks; code review/fixing and slopium miners in the process mine slopium as they complete tasks. Similar to crypto blockchain miners and gas fees ha ha.
(I was laughing while typing)
Such times, such wonderful and nostalgic times.

We forget how the scurry of the now keeps us in a frenzy and before you know, 2 decades have gone past and we're all playing catch up to the new world order - what world order? (I don't know and that scare me; [deep sigh])

There is real niche here, and I'd swear to that. A ton of poorly made sites are flooding the internet.
(By poorly made, I mean Vibe Coded.)
I use AI much more now than I ever did in the last year as I have come to refine my process. (Not having it take the steering; I like a front seat buddy holding the map ha ha.)
Platforms that allow this to be done as easy as your usestrix `LLM_API_KEY: ="your-api-key", --target project-vibe-badges` can help keep this new dev/tech semi-power users, ride the AI wave with human-in-the-loop/safeties-on approach.
Sites can start earning badges; ai-slop-proof, proudly-vibe-coded, ...
Unsolicited advice:
- Have some vibe coded websites you find or vibe code some/request from users and show them live on the site how strix does it's job.

Unsolicited advice:
- Show a small subset (10 from the "...hundreds of tini ASCII creatures") for people to see. Then if user wants more, tell them to authenticate.
- Gmail only? ...

I will say, that almost didn't make me laugh, bur, I will not swear.
I've recently come off from one such rabbit hole - A CLI tool for Pre-processing vue project templates. It was over-engineered.
Will probably go back to re-build it when I get the free time.

Recently found myself saying in conversations that, "Markdown is arguably one of the most valuable file type we have; media, documents, code blocks of almost any language, ... all in one place for further processing."

I feel it is doors losing and others opening in the interim for creatives/devs who level up.

I think about it a lot I won't lie. I know certain jobs will be around for a while but, the general populace will be a different matter.

A fellow HN user's post I engaged with recently talked about low hanging fruits.
What that means for me and where I'm from is some sort of devloan initiative by NGOs and Government Grants, where devs have access to these models/hardware and repay back with some form of value.
What that is, I haven't thought that far. Thoughts?
└── Dey well
More niche use case models have to be developed for cheaper and energy optimized hardware.

I could use me some social power ups.

I find that I keep coming back.
What prompted the DNS switch? Care to elaborate?
I love your product.

Even if AI automates a ton, people will still want incentives for less glamorous jobs. Maybe UBI isn’t about scrapping money but ensuring a baseline so folks aren’t stuck scrubbing metaphorical torpedo tubes.
What’s your take—could a partial UBI make “low-level” work more voluntary?

In Nigeria, I’ve seen industries like taxi services get upended by apps like Uber and Bolt, leaving union leaders/cabals scrambling for the scraps.
AI could amplify this, automating jobs faster than new ones emerge.
One idea is taxing automated systems—say, a levy on AI-driven platforms or robots replacing workers.
This could redistribute wealth without assuming zero employment. For example, Nigeria’s government already taxes digital platforms; scaling that to fund UBI isn’t unthinkable.
What do you think about targeting automation profits specifically?

If I can gamify coding like this poker match gamifies AI reasoning, maybe my monkey brain will stay hooked long enough to ship something big!
Anyone else experimenting with quirky motivation hacks or multi-agent setups like Spacebar?

I should build one that sends me an SMS message instead. So I stumbled on AT+ plus code for programing GSM devices. I have a MTN HUAWEI E303 modem from back in 2016 and I wrote a server using the npm serialport module.
I just need to write a dmenu script that pipes from every 3 git commits.
```txt SMS from :mtn-E303-sms-server

Eventually, at some point. Most industry would have been disrupted. There should be a working group of the major players/stake holders in the space to figure out how this is implemented.
I work in tech and I don't see that happening for another decade and half or so.
Where is this discussion thread?

The column text length too should be trimmed to a uniform max-length except when clicked on. You could make it pup out on the page with CSS.
A better color scheme too won't hurt.
Had the same idea when I saw https://github.com/rowyio/rowy.
Stumbled on an idea while reading a HN entry a few days back and now I will merge them into a niche product idea.

I am a tech creative and this is one of my vice. Having a todo is an opportunity to go through your experiences for clarity.
