The worst part of having world cup in US (aside from all others) is the commentators talking about NFL celebrities and "international football".

Years ago I had a dream taking part in WWDC. Initially money was the blocker (as indie dev I had to pay everything out of my pocket, and 7d roundtrip to San Francisko from Latvia is really not cheap). Then it was challange of winning the lottery. But now traveling to US? Even if someone gave me free invitation and paid everything I would still stay home. It's incredible how Republicans fucked up brand of the "Land of the free" in such a short time. Probably for decades.

What comes next:
"This was oddly poetic, as perhaps the only example in this entire saga of agents doing a favor for the soon-to-be-displaced white collar workers. When they ended up as delivery drivers, at least half their earnings weren’t going to Uber and DoorDash. Of course, this favor from technology didn’t last for long as autonomous vehicles proliferated. Once agents controlled the transaction, they went looking for bigger paperclips."

PS Broken shoulder since 31.12.2025 and 2 weeks with severe allergy (10 days in hospital) probably also did not help with my existential dread. Was a quite harsh introduction into feeling/being/becoming old. Hope you all are and will be well and healthy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_XNnJlssQ8

And I know that @steipete and @mergesort and @dimillian are probably right and I applaud and respect @krzyzanowskim for being cool/skeptical with the train/hype and making https://CommanderAI.app (I hope you will sell it for billion), but it is exhausting even to watch. And I hate woods/handworking so that's also not an option.

I'm 54 and while I consider myself reasonably up-to-date (aside from Swift modern concurrency, it's just too much for me) this train feels just too fast for me, I kinda wish it rolled a bit slower (but then again, probably a lot of people felt this before).

Meanwhile I'm constantly updating (and checking out what's new) 3 GUI frontends for AI agents, 5 code editors with agent plugins, opened about 50 tabs + about 5 new every day (that I'm afraid to look at) with github repos and search results for skills, MCPs and advice threads (I know these will become obsolete in about 2 weeks or so). I also sent myself some 30 emails with articles that I won't read.

LLM AI programming agents are not good for mental health, it supercharges FOMO and takes procrastination to next level.
I have about 20 large changesets across 2 computers and 5 repos generated with AI agents ready to be pushed that I just can't force myself to review/take a look at.
Meanwhile there are small changes my apps need that I'm avoiding to do because I HAVE TO BE ON THE FUTURE TRAIN.
