Ah, the great API debacle of 2023 where #Anthropic heroically (🙄) steps in to save us from the perilous dangers of... developers using a CLI tool. Meanwhile, GitHub's #marketing team desperately tries to convince us that their endless buzzword parade is something other than a game of corporate bingo. 🎉💼

So this coder thinks he's the new messiah with a "manual" for AI agents 🤖📚, but it's just a word salad of #buzzwords and #GitHub plugs. Apparently, agentic AI needs more "morphability" and "recursion" - whatever those mean. Meanwhile, real developers are still trying to figure out why their GitHub #Copilot suggests writing Pong in COBOL. 🙄💻

Google, in a stroke of genius, decided to charge #developers a $2-4 fee to grace their apps with the privilege of external content links 👏. It's like a cover charge for a club no one wanted to get into anyway 🙄. Meanwhile, developers are left wondering if #Google plans to start taking a cut from their lunch money too 🍔💸.

The #1 issue, BY FAR, posted to one of my Github repo issue trackers is people thinking they know how to download binary files from Github when they don’t. There’s a FAQ, there's an issue template to tell them where to look for proper downloading instructions before opening an issue, and yet the issues keep on being posted.

Some people even explicitly tag the issue as a bug, which I always feel personally offended by. "You didn't bother to read the instructions, and now you're blaming for your own stupidity”.

Sometimes it's hard to keep on being nice 🫩
