Today I turned 35 🎉🎂 A bit depressing number honestly, feels like half of my life is done But I hope next half will be much better than previous

Cloudflare down again, and half internet too?

The amount of abandonware software is just enormous I run JellyBox player since 2023 - thats OSS music player Because of that I'm deep into all the music app marketing stuff, reddit, forums, chats, etc Over last 6-9 months I'm seeing at least 3-5 new apps popping up. All in same manner - a test flight link, poorly done landing page(most looks the same). The guy asks 2-3 bucks for his app, promising a lot of features Then in 2-3 months app gets abandoned with no new updates or features. I was making a list of apps to watch and just been checking them occasionally - 95% of apps are dead by now with 0 updates at least few months, the other 5% are just launched recently and havent been abandoned yet, but probably will be too in few weeks or month

My car projext slowly gets closer to finish Repaint is done, need to assemble first and then move back to garage where I finish other things

The ArtCraft thing has a long standing consequences Ppl praising it like there were no free alternative, while in fact there were, but people were just lazy to even google for them. Plus the "corporate-hate" I see from a lot of folks. I don't like adobe's approach to subscription too, but lets be honest - you pay because their software do the job and you get paid for the job that was done. Same as you don't mind to pay claude, or any other tool that helps you to make $$ The problem with this - if companies stop developing these tools - we probably will stuck in toolset that exists now and no new things to be invented and created Why ? Simply because you need real scientists to make something. Say you want to add some CAD tool or capability. You need real math guys who can do the calculations for you first. These formulas isnt something you can google - they are results of months of work to achieve something. None of ppl who vibecoded apps are a real scientists and willing to contribute months of their time to implement something new in app they vibecoded. LLMs won't help with this either. Even setting up a code for 3d viewing - scene, camera, etc requires good math understanding. I'm afraid there won't be next "gausian splatting" feature which changed how vfx is done these days

Its never gets boring to read feedbacks about your work Happy I can bring some joy to people's lives

you don't need to be smart to use AI, that's the problem biggest problem that will lead to even bigger problems

Not checking X for few days to see even more cringe and delusion here I feel like some people are completely living on different planet(in bad meaning)

Fixed my 48v battery that powers my place Turned out one of balance wires got loose, made bus bar to overheat and lead to big disbalancr between cells All or took to tight it and about 20 mins of debugging

I just reverse-engineered Blender with AI and made it open source. Introducing BlenderCraft

The reasons I do OSS app are these reviews

but why, dude? you now bound to maintain it forever, not saying about adding new features, etc those subs probably costs like 0.000001% of what you make and you'd spend more time/money just for prompting them?

Today I was banned on one of subreddits for a first time Turned out mods could not handle my take which community in generally accepted and agreed on

Back to enjoy manual coding, following YouTube tutorials

I shipped android TV version of jellybox.app player this took a while, but I got it super smooth and reliable The only platform left - AppleTV, but honestly thats quite a big task

Pls stop hype around vibe coded adobe clones Adone isnt going anywhere, enterprises won't run to switch to vibe coded solution, singles will play with vibe coded and go back to their original tools which they know how to work with This really starts to feel like ai-psychosis already

While you argue about what LLM better I added this animated cover arts to my music player

funny to see how WSB subreddit full of "we short ADOBE" because some guy vibecoded photoshop ppl are so over-reacting, without even understand what they speak about

"I didnt check if it works, but trust me bro - it works, just drop in and see yourself. Let me know if something isnt works." 😂

i think this mixes up 2 concerns ai isnt going anywhere bubble might burst though and there might be new players on the market after that, maybe even on smaller grade, each focuses on its own niche

thanks everyone decided to go with postmark, although its paid right away
