That's what I want to know.

This is a very good way to put it.

AI is being pushed so hard from the top down by every executive (who have been practically foaming at the mouth about AI for years now) it might as well be extruding from every port and seam on people's devices as if it were a buzzword/fomo diarrhea of some sort.

I had the same thought. I don't understand why this post got flagged otherwise.

This right here is exactly where I've been at mentally and emotionally for the last couple of years.

I worked so hard to break into web dev in the very late 2010s because the deal supposedly was:

1. Learn to code 2. Get your first real job as a software developer 3. Enjoy your comfortable middle-class lifestyle

but I barely got to enjoy any of this before the calendar switched over to 2020 and it's been one fucking thing after another.

Yeah, it's been a pretty big, nasty rug pull on a lot of us who spent years building these skills

Just another "fuck you" from a society that has been pulling up the ladder our whole lives

Software developers themselves share a lot of the blame for this AI stuff. They geeked out so hard about the exciting possibilities of the tech that they didn't stop to think that the managers and CEOs would happily cut developers out of the equation as soon as the developers made the tech sufficiently advanced.

Agreed, and unfortunately for the group of us who did realize this and pushed back are seen as luddites and just don't understand how amazing the technology is.

The other funny part is the same folks who go on about "software developers should unionize!!!" conveniently forget that one of the things unions make sure to do is resist attempts to automate away their jobs.

Believe me I know, and I truly resent other devs who were involved in building AI and the ones who have tripped over themselves in their haste to adopt AI

I graduated in 2008. It's been one thing after another my whole life.

Yeah, 1993 here. Same.

Not only one thing after another, but often the same things all over again after a decade or so.

No, not the same.

You had more periods of stability and low inflation/ZIRP to build wealth and skills.

Millenials only had the one, and you were pretty SOL if you graduated anywhere between 08 and 2011. Oh and the later period of this (2017-2024) saw astronomical price increases on real estate.

There's a reason we're called the 2nd lost generation.

Maximizing everything whether the document fills the screen or not is very Windows user behavior. macOS is not meant to be used that way.

I have always been skeptical / disdainful of people who speak in corporate bullshit all the time. It's very tryhard and rather unnecessary in my view.

After playing around with it for a bit, one request I would like to make is being able to open multiple tabs.

Hey there! Try clicking view in the mac os nav bar, then click show tab bar. Is that what you’re looking for?
