Pretti found meaning in a career helping veterans, was an avid outdoorsman, was funny (according to people who knew him), and died protecting a woman that was being brutalized by ICE thugs. He was everything these fucks want to be but will never attain.

If AI really is this good at making software, then where is it? Where is all the new software?

I can't help but think of Heather Heyer, the woman killed in Charlottesville during the first term.
What was then an act of white supremacist vigilante violence by a radicalized right winger has now escalated to official acts carried out by the state

everyone's goal for 2026 should be getting into using RSS feeds & readers for updates on everyone's projects rather than relying on social media alone. I don't think "big, badly moderated forums where everyone hangs out and gets cranky" are working great for that.
