Curated for someone else, I think it's just a buggy feed. I report all the posts as unwanted sexual content lol

Same. Though there are still days I occasionally forget to fill it...

Yeah, mass physical distribution is more or less a lost art.

It's only better if you explicitly want to give the medium away or cold storage. The reusability of flash is generally a good thing regardless.

It's kind of wild that numpy and tensor don't model things in this way, though it's way easier for a data scientist to shit out a slow but workable script than to actually build something fast. Script engines in the hotloop is asking for pain.

Semantic analysis of arbitrary text is honestly one of the few things I expect to become a "solved problem" after this season of the AI hype cycle

Compiling random applications from source is a massive pain in the ass.
I had a random JavaScript dependency that broke completely prevent me from making any changes to my system for multiple days. I ultimately had to isolate the broken package and remove it. Fortunately it wasn't load bearing

Fundamentally building software is a human-limited problem and the more you can collaborate/reuse the faster you can build at the expense of lack of stability and continuity when things go wrong.

Open source databases and operating systems are probably the biggest factor here. I personally think most "dev tooling" is complexity noise that doesn't usually have a justification for the cost (there are absolutely exceptions to this, see JetBrains for an example).

I think competition from open source and the proliferation of coding as a career has lead to a competitive drive to the bottom in terms of pricing.
