The same tech companies that flooded programming with overly complex tools, endless toolchains, new programming languages du jour every few years, required backwards-compatibility breaking updates and mandatory design overhauls are now selling you “AI” to generate code for the mess they made.

@thomasfuchs And whenever I try to talk to people, in this very industry no less, about how awful and pointless these modern frameworks are, I always get the same responses.

"But $foo has changed how modern computing works!"

"You just don't understand how modern computing works."

Look around, modern computing _doesn't_ work. Everything is broken, every tool presented to the public is tedious to use. Everything we build anymore is pure shite.
