I’m conflicted because more people joining the open source community and contributing is great. That said, open source is an ecosystem that covers everything from the application, to the build system and the code editor used to write the code. A lot of the people contributing to FOSS care a lot about the quality of their code, and being part of it means respecting the community.

But most of the AI models being used to write vibe coded or ai assisted code is not at all sustainable, it’s a huge part of the toolset that is locked behind corporate infrastructure. A lot of code spit out by LLMs is rarely workable or designed to be extended or transformed, and very few are critical of the quality of the code. I know even at work I’ve been frustrated at having to fix, work with or re factor code that has been written with the help of ai.

Firefox is becoming a shitty ai browser now. Consider waterfox or librewolf

Sync thing has been great and convenient for me. Use tailscale, zero tier or just raw wire guard to see each other

Fair enough. Have a look at matrix.org, it links to element x as a recommend client.

Yes that’s the correct one. What’s scummy about it?

I’m not disagreeing that it’s different. It’s a more fair comparison to compare it to embedded software development, where you are writing low level code for a specific piece of hardware.

I’m just saying that abstraction in general is not an excuse for the current state of computer software. Computers are so insanely fast nowadays it makes no sense that Windows file Explorer and other such software can be so sluggish still.

Abstraction does not have to imply significant performance loss.

And also maya sucks.

I love vs code but that does not mean electron doesn’t suck

The main advantage of typing for me is static linting.

That sounds pretty neat thank you. At some point lua had an official typed extension that is no longer maintained unfortunately. Hopefully there’s a stable fork one day.

I think python is good as it is for what it can do, mostly because I have no reason to use it.

What we need is lua with types!

Python is fine as a language I guess

But python programmers give it a bad name. I’ve never seen “well written” python code, it’s always shit that’s been thrown together cos it works.

Brought in a feature from a fork of our engine at work the other day. 8000 additions and a bunch of deletions and fix commits.

And apparently that’s a pretty small merge…

Took me days just to review it.

Just check the damn log man
