To be fair it is really, really mentally taxing to be a young person who cares. You're surrounded by a world that doesn't. Everything is constructed to reward you if you simply stop. The effort to care is immense and the rewards are meager. The impact you can have on the world is so, so limited by your wealth, and wealth comes so, so easy if you just stop caring.

But you can't. I mean, you can't. If you stopped you wouldn't be you anymore, it would destroy your soul. But it is gnawing. You could do the grift just for a bit. Save up $10k, maybe $20k. That's life-changing money. How much good would it do to your family? Maybe you can forget that there are other families, ones you can't see, that would be hurt. Well no. You can't. You are better than that. And for that you will suffer.

I would still be interested if anyone had experience migrating from GitHub including a big CI pipeline. Codeberg doesn't have the infrastructure. Every migration story I saw either a) had no/very little CI or b) was a big enough project like Zig or Gentoo to have funding and their own infra to run CI on.

If I look at the current bill on GitHub I would have to pay for action runs if it wasn't for "it's free for public open-source projects" it'd come to $300-400 monthly. There is no reality in which I could afford the same CI pipelines if I had to actually rent hardware at that price from a cloud, nor can I just buy workstations and put them at my house.

Building a compiler that parses C correctly is one thing. Building one that produces fast and efficient machine code is a completely different challenge.

Ye, the former can be done in a month of non-full-time work by an undergrad who took Compilers 101 this semester or in literally a single day by a professional, and the latter is an actual useful product.

So of course AI will excel at doing the first one worse (vibecc doesn't even reject invalid C) and at an insane resource cost.

I checked yesterday and it was there, can confirm

and people keep telling me this shit is good

I mean, this one is really good, I got like half an hour of jokes with my friend off it

Oh for fuck's sake

why does engineer have to commute in the first place

What, do you expect our serfs to be unsupervised at home? Preposterous.

But unlike those that have fallen to hubris I am built different and should be immune to disinformation!

Thank you.

Edited the post after it came to my attention I got duped, I got had, I got bamboozled by a liar

EDIT:

I'm removing the image (keeping the original text for posterity), but I just completely got had by someone straight up lying.

It's quite embarrasing, I should've been way more skeptical of someone posting an image without sourcing the original paper. Turns out not only is it not a recent paper at all (published June 2025), not only is that table not saying what he claims it's saying, but the authors have since removed that table altogether from revised versions of the paper!

That's what you get from reposting someone who has "The Finance Newsletter" in his fucking username, couldn't have gone well for me.

Do NOT violate the sacred NAP!
