"AI codegen means more software not better software. 0-1 becomes substantially quicker. Faster to launch means more software but maintenance cost is stable. So more products get less attention. End result: more vibe coded niche products that are never updated after launch.

"A lot of people are saying on both sides of the political spectrum is that theyre happy about the NYC mayoral primary outcome. If a socialist wins great everyone will see how bad it is and immediately press eject. But I dont think this is whats going to happen. I dont think a failure in these policies will make people rethink their beliefs. One of the worst things about socialism is that when it doesnt work the first reaction isnt to roll it back its to say the policies werent strong enough implemented correctly etc. Theres always some excuse. Therefore the policies become increasingly insane"
