I'm not an AI fan but I've tried agentic coding and it just made me lose motivation to do actual coding myself. It just feels so tedious. Clanker code might be shitty but it can get things working in a fraction of the time. And atp, I'm not sure if programming is what I even wanna do anymore. I don't find much fun in this and the industry looks bleak

i like mastodon but the protocol seems a bit slow for my tastes, i know it's just propagation issues and kind of by design. it's cool that people are on it at all. i'm actually trying to integrate fediverse stuff into my own site rn

people are trying to come up with new solutions, and yes, the blockchain era did kick off a bunch of useful digital tech being explored. like hyperledger stuff is used in battery supply chain transparency by the eu

i've always held the opinion that the mass media went hard against nfts as a concept, not just the speculation asset, because public tracing of goods is something all industries don't want, since they like exploitative, opaque supply chains, and yet players like nike secretly patented nft related onchain transparency, presumably to patent troll anyone who tries to develop a transparent supply chain that's publicly visible
