I'm 60 years old. Claude Code killed a passion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47386813

I'm with you 100%. AI has sucked the fun out of coding and IT work. There’s no satisfaction in solving problems anymore. I'm also just a few years away from 60, so I think we are on the same page. Maybe it is fatigue, I dunno.. you tell me.

Windows 12 is due to come out this year.

1) Your computer does not meet the system requirements. Again.

Why?

Your PC will need a dedicated NPU — a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks. So, if you recently bought a new PC just to use Windows 11, Microsoft wants you to go shopping again.

2) It will finally, unfortunately, introduce a subscription model.

That's right — you read that correctly. They want you to pay and keep paying to use the computer you just bought. Technically, you won’t own your computer while Windows is installed.

NOW is the time to try Linux. Stop waiting. Don’t make excuses. Don’t even complain — we all knew this day was coming. Either try Linux, or admit you’re Microsoft’s little bitch.

Source? Yes, this is real.

35 years ago, on Feb 14, 1990, Voyager 1 took this image of the "Pale Blue Dot" from 6 billion km away, minutes before its cameras were shut off forever.

Carl Sagan, who played a key role in the mission wrote -
"To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

35 years later, how well are we doing on these 2 counts? How can we do better?
