Trying to build useful things. Ideologically undecided. One of many slowly dissipating, relatively stable patterns in the void. All opinions are my own.

Mark Manson@Markmanson·
FOMA (noun) — Fear of Missing AI /ˈfōmə/ FOMA is a persistent fear that you are "falling behind" on AI and every minute you're not prompting, building agents, or vibe-coding brings you closer to inevitable replacement in the post-AGI economy. FOMA is exacerbated by listening to VC podcasts, reading clickbait articles about Open Claw, and refreshing your X feed like it's your ex-girlfriend's Instagram. Remedies to FOMA include: touching grass, talking to humans who don't know what an MCP is, actually trying to use Open Claw and realizing it's a total piece of shit, and watching as your vibe-coded masterpiece breaks eighteen different ways by Tuesday.

big ai: • software engineering is dead • writing code is dead • ai will write better binaries • don't learn to write code • everyone can build anything also big ai: "more than two colors is too hard"

'Just use a VPS' bro. It's just a 1-click, 2222-step install.

Incredible to see the meme play out so accurately re @openclaw. Some incredible takes 😅 "Runs Clawdbot on a $5/mo Hetzner VPS in Frankfurt” • “SSH tunnel + tmux + systemd service + nginx reverse proxy for WhatsApp bridge” • “Wrote a custom Docker compose with 47 environment variables and healthchecks” • “Proudly self-hosting Claude on 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, constant OOM kills” • “Uses tailscale + cloudflare tunnel + fail2ban + weekly cron reboots” • “Spent 3 weekends optimizing latency instead of just buying the damn Mac Mini” • “My uptime is 99.3% if you ignore the weekly kernel panics” • “Refuses to pay $600 for hardware but happily burns $80/mo on VPS upgrades + electricity” • “Has 3 backup scripts in bash but still panics when the instance gets suspended” • “Thinks Mac Mini is ‘centralized cloud nonsense’ while running everything through DigitalOcean”

Before AI coding agents, I'd constantly have 2 or 3 side-projects that I would struggle to finish AI completely changed the game Now I have 15-20 unfinished side-projects

While my little sojourn into this territory and my playing around with some of the popular LLMs by no means makes me an expert in any way on the algorithms themselves, I’ve come to a few assessments so far, which I wrote about here: hatwd.com/p/llms-will-ne…

This led me down a rabbit hole of trying to understand various approaches, algorithms and data structures that happen to also power modern AI systems (embedding; supervised learning algorithms; transformers; etc.).

@techradar So much software in 2025 is insanely buggy, and most organizations that create software haven't yet figured out how to consistently make it reliable. If LLMs are trained on that buggy software, the idea that they could produce high-quality software is magical thinking.

AI is introducing more flaws into code than humans, but it's less likely to make a typo, and human reviewers still have jobs. techradar.com/pro/security/a…

@socrates1024 Jung noted the same thing. Afaict he maintained that alchemy was subconsciously a psychological endeavour - the attempt to transform one's psyche; to individuate. The things alchemists did, and their symbolism, were really wild. Much of it entirely detached from chemistry.

Welcome to coding, where the APIs change with each gust of wind and the documentation still refers to the version from two years ago. The only constant is intermittent caffeine shortfalls.
