I still remember the constant barrage of "BUT IT'S OPEN!" statements flowing from Google, indicating how Android is clearly superior to "proprietary alternatives". I also remember how people believed that and repeated those statements.

The word "Open" has seen some serious devaluation over the last 10 years or so (ekhm, "OpenAI")

I meet so many people who talk about AI, and then during the conversation it turns out that they actually only use the free versions of chat interfaces.

In case you don't realize, the capability/intelligence gap between the free chat thingy and, say, Claude code with Opus is HUGE.

From personal experience as an EV owner: this is *so* true.

clj-kondo success story: over the course of several months I managed to get from 1360 warnings and 179 errors to 72 warnings and 8 errors (yes, it's a large code base).

I found a good amount of dead code, made lots of small improvements/refactorings and found around 10 actual bugs.

[The remaining warnings are spurious and can't really be fixed without modifying clj-kondo]

If you write Clojure, I highly recommend clj-kondo.

Thank you @borkdude for all your work on this excellent tool! 🙏

I created sound packs for Claude Code (for the excellent peon-ping hack) using the Orc Shadow Hunter from Warcraft III. Now my coding sessions begin with "Direct ma blade!", "Use my powah!" or "Where are enemies be hidin'?".

With an occasional "We be jammin'!" or "It be da mad time, mon!", coding sessions are finally what they should be like!

Who said AI was useless?
