I find myself building bespoke tooling for my own and workflows these days, not only because of the obvious reason of software being so much cheaper to build, but also because there are SO MANY options for solving any given problem that it feels impossible to evaluate all of them.
If it's not a crucial piece of tech for a work problem then it often feels like paving my own way is both cheaper mentally (kind of amazing that's true these days) and probably a better fit.
Any conversation
..then of course I have to contend with - "Is this going to be a maintenance nightmare in the future?" and then I still usually conclude "no, the maintenance will be aided by the same approach that the construction was".
It's interesting how dramatically and quickly the scales have changed in this equation - and for such a wide range of software.

creator of textlogreplied to@zenprofilefollowfather, cyclist, #haskellnotesfollow, #emacsnotesfollow:It will become increasingly harder to find niche markets for software when those people can just build it themselves exactly how they want it. In the end, people want to accomplish tasks, and the AI is going to be building the software on-the-fly exactly for that task, why do we need generic software that may or may not be a fit?

creator of textlog:Yeah. It makes me think that protocols for exchanging data between apps will become even more important in that landscape. But maybe, not - maybe each exchange is another bespoke AI-driven implementation?

creator of textlogreplied to@zenprofilefollowfather, cyclist, #haskellnotesfollow, #emacsnotesfollow:Protocols, infrastructure, containers, those kinds of things. I was actually playing around with an idea for a minimal markup language + runtime that can be utilized by AI to spin up apps more easily, and brainstorming it with ChatGPT, I have a feeling something like that will appear soon to complement MCP.
Excited about these news! I am #flyingnotesfollow Heraklion to BerlinHeraklion Airport N. Kazantzakis โ Berlin Brandenburg AirportHeraklion Airport N. Kazantzakis โ Berlin Brandenburg Airport on Friday, going to stay for a while to work on textlog among other things. Happy because I was getting a bit depressed lately living in the mountains in Crete.
Crazy what happened earlier; one the cats here โthe one Iโm closest withโ started unexpectedly meowing outside wanting to get in, I let it in and it started licking me like never before, as if she sensed Iโm leaving in a couple of days, canโt explain it otherwise.

Started with vim but felt limited, especially when doing heavy Julia visualisation work. Now in emacs and it's been smooth-sailing. Also, emacs + typst is amazing.

There are days when I wonder if I shouldn't write in Catalan here, so that there is more visible linguistic diversity. After all, translations are cheap these days. Machine translation can help preserve the world's linguistic diversity.

Hi! welcome! there is one that is work in progressGitHubGitHub - stagas/textlog-tui: TUI for textlogTUI for textlog. Contribute to stagas/textlog-tui development by creating an account on GitHub.. Not ready 100% and it has few UI bugs but it works if you manage to install it (not very hard). No automatic build process yet.

ฐ:Catastrophic interference is also a favorite Wikipedia page and concept. The thing is, it doesnโt only happen to artificial neural networks, Iโve had it happen to me a few times. Especially with pin numbers, newer pins overwriting old ones and Iโm always scared when Iโm having hard time remembering something that this catastrophic interference applied and now the information is gone from my brain.
