Codédex Daily Challenge #13 0:36 1/5 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 It ain't the prettiest of code, but it was the fastest I could think of lmao Happy Pi Day!

@codedex_io It's basically as soon as I use the parentheses that these pop up, sometimes blocking the view entirely

@M3R14M_dev oh oh great feedback! can u screenshot which one showed up and i can send it to eng team to turn them off?

Codédex Daily Challenge #12 1:28 1/5 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 @codedex_io Those intellisense-esque tooltips really distracted me, could've done this waaaaay faster. Have written the same code before so many times in JS, figured I'd stick to that for this one 🙈

Codédex Daily Challenge #11 2:10 1/5 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 @codedex_io Amazing, nailed a RegExp on first try. I guess all the RegExp bug-fixing paid off 🤣

@codedex_io took me a minute to READ* My goodness, I can't even English anymore

Codédex Daily Challenge #10 2:34 1/5 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 @codedex_io Of course when I try to record what I'm doing, I mess up the parentheses and just don't see it. But even then, it took me a minute to and think of solution whilst typing... Again, leaderboard is insane xD

Codédex Daily Challenge #9 0:46 1/5 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 @codedex_io I swear, these leaderboard times are insane 😅

Codédex Daily Challenge #8 0:45 2/5 🟨🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 @codedex_io I went back through browser history, and now it shares my initial time instead of the total time after second attempt. 👀

@Rainmaker1973 Under $500? Doesn't sound like Millie Bobby Brown was compensated for using their likeness. Disgusting.

Movie industry can't call it "AI slop" anymore. This live-action fan trailer was made in few days under $500 using Higgsfield Cinema Studio v1.5. x.com/minchoi/status…

@DennisCabooter @stephanefr @MarcJSchmidt You mean "An Open Letter to Hobbyists"? Which he wrote because 90% of hobbyists basically pirated the software they wrote. He always felt one should be able to make money off their work in software, and has been opposed to OSS, true. But closed source existed for decades prior.

@stephanefr @MarcJSchmidt You don’t remember Gates’ letter to open source devs? And you don’t remember Gates’ explicit anti-Linux campaign for years? By the way, why the big pharma commercial ads behind your name?

All my new code will be closed-source from now on. I've contributed millions of lines of carefully written OSS code over the past decade, spent thousands of hours helping other people. If you want to use my libraries (1M+ downloads/month) in the future, you have to pay. I made good money funneling people through my OSS and being recognized as expert in several fields. This was entirely based on HUMANS knowing and seeing me by USING and INTERACTING with my code. No humans will ever read my docs again when coding agents do it in seconds. Nobody will even know it's me who built it. Look at Tailwind: 75 million downloads/month, more popular than ever, revenue down 80%, docs traffic down 40%, 75% of engineering team laid off. Someone submitted a PR to add LLM-optimized docs and Wathan had to decline - optimizing for agents accelerates his business's death. He's being asked to build the infrastructure for his own obsolescence. Two of the most common OSS business models: - Open Core: Give away the library, sell premium once you reach critical mass (Tailwind UI, Prisma Accelerate, Supabase Cloud...) - Expertise Moat: Be THE expert in your library - consulting gigs, speaking, higher salary Tailwind just proved the first one is dying. Agents bypass the documentation funnel. They don't see your premium tier. Every project relying on docs-to-premium conversion will face the same pressure: Prisma, Drizzle, MikroORM, Strapi, and many more. The core insight: OSS monetization was always about attention. Human eyeballs on your docs, brand, expertise. That attention has literally moved into attention layers. Your docs trained the models that now make visiting you unnecessary. Human attention paid. Artificial attention doesn't. Some OSS will keep going - wealthy devs doing it for fun or education. That's not a system, that's charity. Most popular OSS runs on economic incentives. Destroy them, they stop playing. Why go closed-source? When the monetization funnel is broken, you move payment to the only point that still exists: access. OSS gave away access hoping to monetize attention downstream. Agents broke downstream. Closed-source gates access directly. The final irony: OSS trained the models now killing it. We built our own replacement. My prediction: a new marketplace emerges, built for agents. Want your agent to use Tailwind? Prisma? Pay per access. Libraries become APIs with meters. The old model: free code -> human attention -> monetization. The new model: pay at the gate or your agent doesn't get in.

Day 304 of #30NitesOfCode II Celebrated King's Day today 👑🇳🇱 Managed to squeeze in a little video by Code Bullet, creating a Guitar Hero clone with a guitar instead of a keyboard. Mad Aussie.

Day 303 of #30NitesOfCode II Needed to do some spring cleaning, so I spent the day cleaning whilst listening to The Standup

Day 302 of #30NitesOfCode II Tried to fix an error with React in our UI, which will only be temporary. Shouldn't have wasted my time on that, but I did x)

Day 301 of #30NitesOfCode II Managed to get our secret project to the point of building on a second, completely different. Only took like... 9 hours.

Day 300 of #30NitesOfCode II Worked on our new plug-in API software thingamajig. First real C++ (and Electron) project I've worked on. But everything is still very much a secret, so shhh 🙊

Day 299 of #30NitesOfCode II Took the day off, but did manage to squeeze in an episode of The Code Report

Day 298 of #30NitesOfCode II Drove 400km today for a birthday visit, so I had plenty of time to rewatch a freeCodeCamp video course :)

Day 297 of #30NitesOfCode II Been preparing for our trip to my parents tomorrow, so I've only watched some Theo.gg vids today.

Day 296 of #30NitesOfCode II I got sick of manually counting rewards in screenshots of a game, but building a plug-in for these rewards would be a waste of time. Instead I spent 2 hours building a janky derivative of my old tracker but with an input for a string to query. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@intelagense I've been using it for so long, maybe it's time to start contributing back. But so many projects that I still need to finish 🙈

@M3R14M_dev It's open sourced too if you get bored and need another project to work on. 😆

Day 295 of #30NitesOfCode II Updated my Penpot instance to the latest version. Noticed we now have plug-ins available, and started playing around with mock-ups. I still love how Dev Mode is entirely free, and with all these updates lately there's really no reason to use Figma 🙊
