      I disagree to a point, I maintain that annoyance is a way better motivator for innovation and invention

      The best programmers are the lazy. However AI probably will kill this statement with vibe coding.

        “The best programmers are lazy” does not imply that the lazy are the best programmers. I think it’s still true with the existence of vibe coding.

        I… wouldn’t call AI an innovation… lol.

        I’m sure somebody is using it somewhere for something useful, but 95% of it- including vibe coding- is… laughable. (and honestly more work.)

          I was more implying that lazy coders are going to use vibe coding rather than object oriented programming. So we will need sort of not lazy programmers but not the kind that is eager to support 3 different JSON injest scripts.

            Coders will realize that vibe coding makes more work and abandon it. The real problem is going to be that bosses will buy into it and hand it to randos off the street instead.

            That’s gonna be “fun” (well, for the coders around them.)

        naw. hand weaving was labor intensive. ergo the loom. (and increasing amounts of automation ever since.)

        Carrying shit? the travois allowed you to carry more with less effort (reducing the number of trips.) The wheel even more so. Then the handcart.

        every invention and innovation comes down to people wanting to do less work. And I can’t really blame them.
