Like again all the fucking SoFtWarE EngiNeeRs are out here every day insisting that agents are the future and will revolutionize software development on a website that has shipped basically one useful feature all year (the little badge that shows that a post is part of a thread)

Meanwhile there's an explosion in new open-source apps that's very noticeable if you use Linux, but 90% of them are time-wasting garbage with horrible usability or stability problems.

Where's my fucking open-source image editing tool that actually competes with Photoshop? Where's my Wayland compositor that genuinely doesn't suck? Where's my fix for every NVidia driver problem on Linux? You keep saying how great these tools are then making nothing good with them!

It feels very much like you are all emotionally invested in insisting that an at-best marginal gain (at a comically large cost in terms of externalities) that doesn't actually address the real bottlenecks in the way of good software existing is a revolution, because you're priced into it now.

krita is an ok ps replacement, it's competitive in the sense that its shortcomings are acceptable given that it's free imo

Usually they only make more shit to shove ai in more computer, but I have a fun one, I spotted a brush-based level editor plugin for Godot, but it feels terrible to use, it's nowhere near close to TB and one of the main functions is broken. It's abandoned, as the dev made it under an ai grant.
