wow
Ever since Accents got mentioned in Daring Fireball I've been getting emails non-stop, and they're just as you expect.

Gen AI found the biz model.

step 1: subsidize code generation so everyone forgets how to read/write code manually

step 2: many shops fire software dev and IT folks who know how to write code to save money

step 3: now charge 10x to 50x to ensure the AI generated code by that most humans largely can't understand actually works and cause outages

step 4: announce new code fix service that even cost more to fix AI mess

this is like donuts & weight loss/dietitian biz working out of same office

Whatever efficiency gains I make with AI are immediately wasted by others using AI. What is this paradox?

In software engineering we generally wouldn’t subject “vibe coded” work on others, and self review has existed as a discipline before all this. This doesn’t seem to exist in other roles, and throwing slop over the fence for someone else to review is more common.

If Mini-LED is so good, why don't iPhones use it? And why are MacBooks rumored to switch to OLED? (rhetorical)

You can get an amazing OLED for 1/3 of the price of the Studio Display XDR.

I just tried to close Music with cmd+q but it just decided not to 🤷‍♂️ and it dawned on me: when did we start accepting such sloppy apps that can't even close properly?

Need to hotkey cmd+q into kill -9 and override this terrible behavior.

UX is my passion
AI slop reminds me of misinformation: It takes a lot more effort to dismiss it than to create it.
