Yeah vs code was one of the first examples I thought of as well. It has its own set of issues for sure, but even as a former vim fanatic it’s amazing from both a default experience perspective and that of a power user.

How does it connect back to the Nietzschan philosophy you mentioned?

Is it even up for debate that that’s definitely not what their primary mission is? Their market cap sits at 3.5 trillion, ranking them third behind Microsoft and nvidia. Unlike those other two, Apple makes most of that on selling iPhones an

They fill a need, but I wouldn’t say they e been “replace people’s jobs” successful, as this context hints at.

I think the more optimistic interpretation would be that companies eliminating bullshit jobs would provide signal on which jobs aren’t bullshit, and then individuals and the job prep/education systems could align to this. That’s very o

You’re saying that the internet, web, and mobile haven’t improved productivity?

If your point is that AI/LLMs aren’t as transformative as broadband internet, I don’t think anyone here is seriously making that claim, right?

Is there somewhere I can read about those regrets?

Thanks for the context. I’m new to the ecosystem, so it’s valuable to hear thoughts like these from people with more experience with it.

No. To be clear: I wasn’t trying to say it was bad. Just repeating what I had read in a (fairly old) .net book. Should have chosen my words more carefully.

Yeah makes sense. I should have used my language more carefully: I have very little hands-on experience with entity framework, and thus don’t have objective reasons to say it has a “huge” memory footprint. Does the startup time/CPU usa
