This looks cool! Will try it tonight. 8k links - I guess you got a nice user-base already. Was it easy to market?

"Art is in the eye of the beholder" - it is me, who enjoys art and how it affects me and works with my emotions that is affected by it. Who or what the artist is, should be irrelevant, unless the artist imposes some monetary value

Just to add that nowadays once can use HCL Verse for web- or mobile app-based email access to their Lotus Notes email database. It's quite sleek and it works.

I don't buy the AI argument. I'd bet on Linux replacing Windows for a good chunk of desktop users. For example, I installed LibreOffice on my parents' PC last month, because I replaced their Windows with Linux Mint.

Thanks for expanding on this! I appreciate it and my sympathy to you. I do have a similar case at work, but it's my superior in that case - shipping large volumes of code with Claude, 100% vibed. It's slightly different in the sen

Man, I would straight up tell them I will use AI to review that crap and so be it. In fact this is what I tell to colleagues if they send my non-tested vibe-coded stuff or vibe-generated documentation. Everyone can generate shit today, but

I think the argument is quite valid. OP writes "business partner". It begs the question - would their business partner get on board if they didn't have a AI subscription by their side? How about instead of 5K PR, OP got the s

Weaving is art. Should we replace "programming" and "programmers" with "weaving" and "weavers" in this write-up and refer to history and how it worked out for weavers during the industrial revolution,

I agree it depends, but I can offer another angle: By writing a few py tools and creating skills around them I was able to save tokens, so these skills were cost-effective in my case, they lowered the cost of the tasks I execute.

That‘s an interesting thought, because I see openDesk packs Collabora for document-editing, I‘ve never ever tried it. Does anyone know how it fairs with file-formats and MS-formatting in general?

Porting software nowadays might prove easier than expected. Exactly how much custom software should one expect? Centralized web applications running on Java are probably the standard anyway, and they are not OS-dependent. The point of migra

> but hetzner costs, what, 5€/m for your own server with 10TB traffic included? Nope, they bumped the price to €7,13 several months ago. One could still find €5 managed web-hosting though.

Yes, these are bad examples. Norway - rich beyond belief due to its energy resources. Switzerland - rich beyond belief because of its developed banking sector. Not sure how Iceland stacks up here. Fishing will be an issue for them, no doubt

This assumes that the renewables built are actually contributing to the economy, which we don‘t actually know for sure. In fact there was an article stating that they discard a lot of the energy produced because the grid cannot deliver. [1]

Fair point, hehe. Well in all fairness, I do use it at work because of our customers, but other than that I'd never touch it.

In all fairness humans can also be considered next token predictors. It could be said that’s how we communicate with one another today. Presently LLMs lack other things, like physical presence in the world and continuity of input sensory da

Indeed, but it probably won‘t get any easier for us devs when clients also get easier access to open weight LLMs. I mean from personal experience 40 tok/s on an M3 pro with gpt-oss-20b holds up quite well for lots of tasks. Thinks are
