Only been on a handful of react projects at this point: gatsby, next.js, and remix, in that order.

Gatsby was fine for the time for our static marketing site. Not really good but not painful. Then we started converting our SPA to next.js and a deep seated rage for react began to fester in me.

After being forced to use react at my current job and convincing leadership to go with remix, it turns out I don't hate react THAT much, mostly just next.js. As far as I'm concerned, next.js and vercel are the same and they're both not great.

Not really the point of the post, but it was nice to see a pic of Kyle working with his bird on his shoulder instead of a stock photo or some AI slop generated image.

Thanks! He's a fun little copilot when he's not chewing my cables and mousepad.

I'm not sure this one lady having plastic surgery was the point of the blog post.

After this he immediately spoke at a campaign event for a far right German group

> On Saturday, Musk spoke repeatedly about the importance of Germans taking pride in their heritage.

> "It's good to be proud of German culture and German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything," Musk said.

> Then, in an apparent reference to the Nazi era, Musk added that there is "frankly too much of a focus on past guilt and we need to move beyond that."

They do say that those who forget the past will never repeat it. Ah well!

Sounds about right? Today's Germans shouldn't feel guilty about the atrocities their great grandparents did. If they should, maybe look into your own heritage a bit.

Guilt has nothing to do with denying the past.

I'm jewish and think I know where I stand on german's feeling guilty about the past.

Damn AI must be pretty good if they gotta force their employees to use it.

Gonna assume you're not in the US. Here it seems to be encouraged to watch TikToks at full volume on the bus at 6 in the morning.

speak on that

> Meanwhile, software developers spot code fragments seemingly lifted from public repositories on Github and lose their shit. What about the licensing? If you’re a lawyer, I defer. But if you’re a software developer playing this card? Cut me a little slack as I ask you to shove this concern up your ass. No profession has demonstrated more contempt for intellectual property.

Loved this style of writing in 2005 from Maddox on the best site in the universe or whatever.

Sorry if I don't want google and openAI stealing my or anyone else's work.

I'm sure you could have learned how to use git and github before AI existed.

AI Coding motivated me. Maybe that's the point.

Most of your post seemed to be about how developers were gatekeeping learning, which isn't true.

just because this person is being hyperbolic doesn't mean it's a bad idea to consider changing the name.
