I Want Some Changes

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these job listings! 💀 Recruiters out here casually asking for someone who can juggle 17 different technologies spanning three programming languages, two frontend frameworks, three databases, four AWS services, Linux admin skills, testing methodologies, containerization, AND orchestration... all while probably offering "competitive salary" (translation: barely above minimum wage). Honey, they're not looking for a "Full Stack Developer" - they're looking for an ENTIRE COMPANY crammed into one exhausted human body! What's next? "Must also make coffee, unclog toilets, and occasionally perform heart surgery"?!

The four horsemen of learning to code! On one side, you've got the lonely programmer figuring things out through trial, error, and tears. On the other side, the holy trinity that actually makes it possible: Stack Overflow (where code goes to be judged), W3Schools (the digital textbook we pretend to read), Indian YouTube tutorials (the true heroes who explain everything at 0.75x speed), and coffee (the magical liquid that converts caffeine into code). Let's be honest, without these four pillars, most of us would still be trying to center a div.

Ah, "Vibe Coding" – where the only requirement is vibes and absolutely zero coding knowledge. Started as industry satire, now it's an actual 4-week course with a fancy instructor in a green suit promising to make you feel good about not understanding a single line of code. This is like offering "Vibe Surgery" where you just hold a scalpel and manifest healing energy. Next up: "Vibe Engineering" – build bridges with positive affirmations and Instagram filters. The tech industry has officially completed its transformation from "we need skilled engineers" to "just bring your authentic self and we'll figure out how to deploy that to production."

Ah yes, the classic "unmasking the villain" trope, but with browsers. Turns out your "Chrome replacement" is just Chromium wearing a Telegram logo mask. It's like switching from Coke to Pepsi and calling yourself a health guru. The browser market is just Google in various trench coats at this point. Your privacy settings are basically just suggestions to the algorithm.

Content Jeff Bezos and Sundar Pichai follow Yann LeCun ylecun Hotter take: ML would have advanced faster if another front-end language had been available and widely adopted instead of Python. One that is interactive yet fast compilable, multithreaded (no GIL), isn't bloated, doesn't care about white spaces,.. E.g. Julia or some Lisp. 1 Bojan Tunguz tunguz 1d Hot take: Machine Learning would not have been nearly as advanced now were it not for Python.
