10 months agoAI, ironically. specifically, my data being used to train big models without my consent (or, sneakily un-opt-out-able consent by using services online). it’s been accelerating the enshittification of everything by a ton. self-hosting has been a nice reprieve honestly.
against the grain opinion: once you reach a certain level, it’s actually a lot slower to get gpt to generate code for you and then go through the slog of proofreading its obvious errors, and scary non-obvious ones. i gave it a try for a period of time because of the praise it was receiving for automation, but i wouldn’t really trust it for non-basic code gen. great for explainers though.
