It’s especially grating in this case because Dominic Gannaway, the creator of Octane, is the real deal (creator of Inferno, former React core team member, former Svelte core team member); so the project landing page looks like generic 2026 slopcoded abandonware, but it is in fact a real project made by someone who’s one of the great minds of frontend framework development (with heavy Claude use apparently, to be clear).
- lioeters 2mo agoSad to see formerly talented software developers become mediocre and bland, losing their unique flavor and personality. Maybe there's still some insight or idea that's their own creation, but it's obscured by the same text and code generation service, a soul-less corporate voice. It's possible language models will mature to better emulate that ineffable quality of having a "heart" or "taste", but it would still be empty without a person on the other side.
