In the past three months I've shipped more code than I have in years.

New php extension https://github.com/hparadiz/ext-gnu-grep

A Demo showing how to stream webrtc to KDE Wayland overlay. https://github.com/hparadiz/camera-notif

A fun little tool that captures stdout/stderr on any running process. https://github.com/hparadiz/bpf_write_monitor

Then I upgraded my 10 year old hand written framework to a new version that supports sqlite and postgres on top of existing MySQL support https://github.com/Divergence/framework

But then I was like eh lemme benchmark every PHP orm that exists just to check my framework's orm....

https://github.com/hparadiz/the-php-bench

And published the results.... Here

https://the-php-bench.technex.us/

And then I decided to vibe code a simulation of the entire local steller group https://earth.technex.us

Followed by my simulation of the Artemis 3 landing sites at the lunar South pole https://artemis-iii.technex.us/?scale=1.000#South-Pole

And I left the best for last.....

A brand new task manager written in C for Linux that supports a plugin architecture with an event bus. It's literally the best gui Linux task manager ever. Still working on it.

I'm not even talking about my paid job. This is me just fucking around.

If you’re killing it, do your thing and be happy. I didn’t say you were a bot.

What I said was: what is AI bad at?

Let’s start the conversation there. Can you one shot a new Linux kernel with AI? Does “new project, are me GTA 8!” Work?

No.

That is hard reality, disconnected from any ridiculous hype BS people are living in.

You need to start the conversation with: I acknowledge, AI is not good at some things.

Now, if you can accept that baseline reality that you live in you can ask some hard questions like:

Are the things I’m doing things I could do without AI?

Am I actually more productive?

Is what I’m building actually working?

Are the things that other people are claiming to do, things that it can actually do?

Is it the right tool for the next thing I’m going to work on?

Maybe you don’t care; but, if you don’t like people asking those questions; why?

This is genuinely great tech. No one is denying that; it’s effective and productive to get certain stuff done.

What scares me is people who you cant even have this conversation with. What’s AI bad that?

Nothing!

Thats AI psychosis.

Take a look at your own opinions and why you take it personally (it seems) when someone calls out a case where AI did a bad job, or someone who failed because they relied too hard on AI.

Seriously man, if those things are upsetting you, because, literally, they have nothing to do with you, other than the tiny voice in your head telling you that “critiquing AI is critiquing me”… then have a good think about that.

It’s not a good place to be.

Build things. Be happy, be proud. Coming here and ranting like you’re doing? It’s not good. It’s realllly not good.
