It's surprising how many things in the Simple Sabotage Field Manual are standard practice at tech companies.

Mozilla wants your input. Here's mine:

Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

1: Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2: Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
3: There is no 3.

Mozilla should have NOTHING to do with AI. Nobody wants it. Stop forcing AI into every corner of every project because your VC-brained management have completely lost the plot.

The common theme about every LLM-generated software success story seems to be that the software has somewhere between zero and one users.

And so I am forced to admit, grudgingly, that LLMs can be good at making software for a single user. This is quite valuable! Bespoke software is difficult.

I have seen no evidence that they’re good for more than this.

I still have no personal interest in using them.

I feel like there’s a certain type of personality that is drawn to Linux because they like solving software problems and Linux gives them lots of software problems to solve

but eventually they get too good at solving Linux problems and get bored, so they switch to Arch - which delivers new software problems to their computer all the time. but eventually they get too good at solving Arch problems so they switch to NixOS, which is an infinite wellspring of software problems to solve

ADHD and negative self focus

For many individuals with ADHD, the reality is more complex than just inattention. The opposite is often true: an extreme, poorly controlled fixation on distressing topics.

We call this the Negative Self-Focus.

Orange site content:

† 19 in 20 stories are about AI bullshit
† 1 in 10 comments are about praising AI, how it does something better, how easy it is to integrate, shaming people not using AI, asking how to integrate with AI...

🤮🤮🤮

Really need an extension or something to be invented to mark and remove all stories and comments about this shit. And filter out automatically specific users who can't shut up about that shit.
