@krig@goto.liten.app if you don't mind being niche, you could check out fossil (https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki) it's not git, but it's similar enough (decentralized version control with branches and stuff), and has a wiki, forum, bug tracker, etc integrated into the repo. it's criminally underrated

kubernetes tooling assumes that you need to scale infinitely, and that you have infinite money and people
VC funded ahhh software

I keep hearing how LLMs are maybe bad for a lot of stuff but actually great for translation

I also keep seeing a lot of very bad translations for basic phrases, eg on amazon a "product card" is "fiszka produktu" ("product's flashcard")

probably no connection there. for sure not a case of gell-mann amnesia

@hailey@hails.org he tried to do away with it entirely and ended up living as an inversion of it

@wingo@mastodon.social what a time to be alive!

@munificent@mastodon.social even if we assume there *is* utility in here, personally I don't see much value in things that have some utility but no meaning. not everything needs to be cost optimized, I'm not a shareholder ;)

@munificent@mastodon.social I agree with a lot that you wrote, especially about the time & effort's relation to meaning. however, I think you're being too charitable to AI in this post. the assumption is that the utility is there - that using AI is actually faster, or you can get a better result in the same time. or that the generated code has more value (err, utility) than mental models in people's heads. I don't see it in the industry at large (where are all the new apps? [1]), and I don't see it in studies [2] (at least the ones not sponsored by microsoft/openai/whatever). I get it that it's smart to assume that The New Model will solve everything in a few weeks. as it's always claimed, but.. do you really want to believe in that? 1: https://mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the-shovelware-why-ai-coding 2: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.09089

@kepano@mastodon.social thank you for your service 🫡

@mjk@hachyderm.io collab with bauble.studio when?
