I don’t even know how to get into that

KDE seemed like quite easy to get started with, I installed their tooling, found a good first issue in Dolphin I could reproduces but couldn’t build dolphin locally following their guide, joined their matrix chat and asked for help, got ignored for a day, then somebody pointed me to another room where I should ask if the build guide was up to date, got nothing their and I gave up

Went through some other interesting open source projects I have been using and I was trying to pick something but to no avail, all issues there is somebody from India that took it and didn’t reply after 4 years (probably they have something in university asking them to do that)

I would rather spend my precious time in building something I have 100% control over than join the rat race. I have cloned a few projects in the past, fixed some annoying issue or upgraded deps to match my environment, installed the forked version and never opened a PR

So yeah, if you have a project and need some extra hand, let me know, I am an expert in Python but interested in languages I am less than an expert in like go, rust, zig, elixir (I am ready to match your style, good quality, skip using LLMs, …) . If interested I could also invite you to help out with a few things I have in progress or I am aiming for a re-write.

Thank you!

A similar experiment I did comes to mind from 3 years ago.

For the fun of it I was trying to train a few deep neural network configurations (LSTM, a few variations of FCNs, …) to trade shitcoins and downloaded 4 years of 1h candles.

The first easiest idea was to prepare the training data to fire three signals, buy, sell, do nothing (I know a terrible choice). The cost function was setup to do the simple thing and maximize the overall profit (I know an other terrible choice). Fast forward 30min of training and the final outcome is a model that outputs “do nothing” in 100% of the cases.

I am screenshoting this so it will be screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot then post it somewhere else

Wait until you meet the AWS Lambda bro

That’s one good place I want to see tax payer money going. Would be nice if a more governments join in and make big corpo irrelevant.

Wow seems like nice article

I 100% agree with you and would love to see Anthropic burn (same as OpenAI and all other big tech)

@troi@techhub.social tbh I could see people who are considered good programmers in one place but not in another place (just prompting to get things done with minimum effort & reserving the effort for something else). Probably it comes back to interest & care, how much the person is interested in iterating over their solution & architecture + learning things regardless of seniority level to achieve a higher level goal (simpler design for example rather than stopping when it works). Maybe that could be an indication of a good programmer?

yep, they are selling learning models, but they are not pretending medical doctors will be out of work next week like OpenAI is doing

Only some in my experience, in one place a simple API has 7 layers of handlers and managers. I took care of another project that should be in theory way more complex and got on board in a few days as compared to years.

bruh, so it’s not me who was stupid all this time for not being able to put an estimate for large initiatives. It always feels forced to give an estimate.

It has been really fun watching any LLM debugging a bug in a moderately large codebase. It has been so bad in my experience (I really wanted the hype to be real) even in really simple and readable programming languages.

It doesn’t stand a chance though for more complex languages. There was an obvious bug in the way one Rust project was loading a config, decided to “test” Claude sonnet 4.5, I watched it identifying the issue but over engineering paragraphs of new Rust utilities without getting there while the solution was in the second paragraph of the github repo of config-rs, just adjusting the prefix and dropping the separator entry.

I started walking 33 years ago, I am by no mean an expert in walking.

I can’t wrap my head around how good KDE has become, I end up crawling back to KDE every time. If some nice person will bake a native tilling mode like cosmic, it will be very hard to convince me to switch away from KDE.
