Here's a question for anyone using LLMs to develop software they plan to sell - what's to stop your users simply deciding to cut out the intermediary and vibe code their custom product themselves? Pr...

@nprofile1q... I think you vastly overestimate the willingness, or even ability of people to do things.

See for example web hosting. Why would anyone be willing to pay 1000 PLN / month to be able to host some html files with a database endpoint? You can just spin up a VPS for, say, 60 PLN / month and get the same thing, AND the ability to choose *which* database or http server you are using, instead of being forced to use the one you are given.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Every time I looked at wuffs or whatever new rust wonder for decoding png, it always ended up in "how the heck am I going to build it?"

libdeflate doesn't do streaming, so it was no go for etcpak, but I probably should look at it in context of my image viewers!

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... On Linux it's basically "has any of the libraries changed the ABI since the release". ICU does this like once a week, so your best bet is static linking. The usual glibc problems are in the reverse direction, so that doesn't apply here.

I think I have recentlish tried to run mtv binary from 2000 or thereabouts, and it did work. mtv, as in the commercial mpeg1 player application, not to be confused with mpv.

The entitled abuse you get as an open source maintainer. Like, dude, I don't give a fuck if some internet rando I never heard about uses my software, or if they make a fork nobody will ever know about. I spend my weekends and evenings developing this because it fills a gap in the market that I personally need. If anyone wants to use it, be my guest, but I have zero tolerance if you choose to be a toxic asshole about it.
