@OskarLebuda Mine is a philosophical debate: Artificial intelligence is amazing, but maybe we’ve lost or are losing some people.

@OskarLebuda What I want to point out is that, in the past, we didn’t value people as much as we value artificial intelligence.

Never thought I'd say this, but despite years of building software and a solid portfolio, I can barely make a living from it anymore. Open source doesn't pay, freelance has dried up, and AI changed everything. These days I'm selling lemons. I think it's time to become a farmer.

@OskarLebuda Don't forget, this is just a casual conversation among friends. Besides, I'm selling lemons now anyway. 😅

@OskarLebuda Yes, this is the structure we’re already familiar with. What I’m trying to say is that 100,000 people buy $100 each month to AI. No one knows what would have happened if, in the past, all of them had contributed to open-source projects with the same impact.

@OskarLebuda Of course, there are plenty of buildings. But money is still an important factor here.

I don't think it's that simple. Money alone isn't what creates successful open source. It helps, but people usually support projects they actually rely on. If a project solves an expensive problem or becomes part of someone's daily workflow, companies are happy to pay for it. That's why projects like TypeScript, Vite, Vue, Nuxt, or Vitest have thriving communities and sponsors.

@OskarLebuda There are some zero-star developers who, despite being very talented, have never managed to make a name for themselves, and whose download counts remain only average. I come across people like this from time to time, and it saddens me.

@OskarLebuda Yes but, Think about what would happen if all the money allocated to artificial intelligence today were channeled entirely to developers. This has never happened before. No matter how bad the code might be, if we had supported that person, we would have reaped the benefits.

the end 😅

Today, a friend and I were talking about this: In the past, people didn’t donate $100 or $200 a month to support open source projects; if they had, the world would be much further ahead right now. But right now, we’re completely stuck in a rut.

ekmek[dot].dev is making good progress in 7 days. ☺️

They use it an incredible amount in a project. it's amazing. If you need a push notification solution, take a look at the project we’ve developed.

@_pi0_ Be careful when having AI review your code; they post a code snippet with a .sh file and give the AI a command to run it once.

nowadays i work on multiple projects, in multiple branch worktrees, across multiple sessions all in parallel. zigpty has a built-in attention detection system that tells me when an agent is done. and i can close my laptop and pick up sessions from my phone while cooking! planning to open-source it once the OSS pressure cools down a bit.

I'm going to start working on artificial intelligence memory. it'll be easier to read a lot of sources while selling lemons.

@andreynering Thanks for pointing that out. yes, I changed it, and it actually turned out better.

@productdevbook Gemini has very strict rate limits in my experience. It's probably a better idea to switch to something else.

I'm getting this error in the Google Gemini APIs, so I can't share the new project because I know there will be hundreds of requests. What can I do about this ?

I'll release the code as open source later.
