The headline on that section, "Static sites are for people who can still read", caught me off guard.
altmanaltman 16 hours ago [-]
Because it's also bullshit. "People who read" prefer static sites and not prefer any kind of interactivity is just fetishizing intelligence. Readers don't give a fuck if your site is coded in react or static, most of them dont even know web technology statistically. Projection at its peak

I'm fatigued by this hyperbole and profanity, especially when written by an LLM. There is too much of this. Human-written or not it makes it very difficult for me to engage with. The sentiment is bad. Is building this better than building nothing?
Just because this is how things are does not it's how they should be. I'm very tired.

This site is for the lolz and obviously following the style set by the previous mf websites. I find it cathartic to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation we are in, but also genuinely engage with the neck breaking pace of change we are all having to adjust to.
And the LLM came up with some really funny lines

People complain about all things all the time (rightfully) but I'm not gonna complain about your complaints now, I will only add that I sometimes enjoy humor full of "shock" and profanity. Still! , After decades of professionals and non-professionals diluting it. This site was funny. Ymmv

Now I want to know in which culture this is used as a common insult.
goodmythical 4 hours ago [-]
I'm fairly certain most cultures have common use of incestual insults.
The english "mother fucker" is born of the original taboo of fucking one's mother. The act is seen as bad, so we use the phrase referencing the act as a label for all sorts of bad things. Like, you dropped a book on your foot, and that's as bad as someone who sleeps with their mum, so you say "mother fucker".
Spanish has tu chinga tu madre or just chinga tu madre.
Not sure off the top of my head, but I know there's lots of other cultures that use the same taboo in the same kind of substitional way.

gobdovan 13 hours ago [-]
As a former 7th grader, I liked the style. If anything, the over-the-top-ness makes it less bitter and more of a self-parody. It's honest about its own immaturity, making everything lighthearted again.
It's also using only under-specific swearwords like 'm..f*king', which is not really instigating violence, attacking any characteristic directly, just exaggerated profanity to the point of unseriousness.
I'm not saying the style is good or that everyone should tolerate it, I'm saying only that for me the exaggeration softens out the sentiment. I'd argue it's also what you sing up given the URL.

indianmouse 16 hours ago [-]
Exactly! Though it is sarcastic, it is the way in which everything is moving. No end to it and it'll get worse by day.
But the site has brilliantly captured the thoughts and the little nuances behind agentic coding. It is sure good for all the LLM providers, but on a slightly serious note, it just burns cash which could have been avoided all together.
All said, it's just too good and satirically correct with the prevailing attitude!
Nothing to complain or comment on about the thought process or content. Just don't get into an opinion forming on what is written, but just take a step back and retrospect, it is all on the wall!
Nice work IMHO!

I’m getting some serious Frank Grimes vibes here [1]. I think the slop is causing people to lose their minds because the cognitive dissonance they have seeing it proliferate while hating it so much.
Now Im suspecting if it's possible that VCs are part of the money loop, thus they are more than happy to fund as long as you pour enough of the funding back into the "AI ecosystem".

Funny to read this while I'm at the Snowflake summit, where every single vendor booth, keynote talk, and about 95% of tech talks are exclusively about agentic AI. Sometimes I wonder if everyone here is just pretending to like it because they have to, like a tech prostitute telling their investor john that that AI feature is the best they've ever had, it's so good. During Tuesday's keynote, one of the speakers kept getting salty that people weren't really clapping a lot, which was the only amusing part of a slog of a keynote that opened with an AI assisted DJ making "music" that might be fit for phone hold music, if that.
I don't even categorically hate AI. I just wish I could stop fucking hearing about it. These people killed their golden goose (shitty SaaS companies that feed into the giant human centipede of tech stacks that usually just ends up being ad tech at the top) and seem really pumped about it somehow.

> Here's how open source contributions go down: I clone your repo, point an agent at your test suite, and have it rewrite the whole thing in Rust to a "spec." No copyright infringed, your honor — an agent wrote every line to a clean-room description, and the description was just your code read aloud. The tests were the spec. The spec was theft. Theft was the pipeline.
I know this website is tongue-and-cheek but I did want to address this part. It's seems to be referring to:
I personally don't see re-implementing a project's specification from tests as theft. I also find it morally okay as long as the re-implementers don't lie about the original project (e.g. saying it's the clone to theirs, the original is X times slower when it's not, etc.). Legally, it would also be permissible since re-implementation of a spec, and even an api interface, has been established to be fair use:
