It's all in how you use it. Copy/paste driven development has long been a meme in the programming community.
For me, AI is like pairing with a very knowledgeable and experienced developer that has infinite time, infinite patience, and zero judgements about my stupid questions or knowledge gaps. Together, we tackle roadblocks, dive deep into concepts, and as a result, I accept less compromises in my work. Hell, I've managed to learn and become productive in Vim for the first time in my career with the help of AI.
I loved Twitter. It was this magic place where I could connect with both friends and legends in my field (programmers). That’s not what it is anymore and it’s impossible to ignore how political it’s become.
Bluesky feels like Twitter used to and it’s shockingly refreshing to hear about industry news and friendly updates rather than some “pick-up artist” explaining how women are too privileged these days.
The first post when I opened it after reading yours:
>The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.
This is the opposite of what I want in any app I open. It's time we stop chasing engagement for sites and start filtering for content. I want sites that don't promise to be the place to do everything for everyone but one's which I can judge on their censorship to know if I want to join.
It isn't. I want a place where people leave their politics, religion and genitals at the door. Op made it seem like bluesky did that. A look at the front page says otherwise.
It seems like it's complete luck of the draw on what the front page looks like before you sign up.
I refreshed once after posting that and it looked amazing enough to come back and post here that it does look great now. Refreshed again and got this at the top: https://bsky.app/profile/rexchapman.bsky.social/post/3lazzns... here's hoping they stop amplifying the people who made twitter so toxic and make a network that's actually pleasant to be in.
It was also a magical place that gave the CIA carte Blanche to monitor Americans and spread propaganda, and was happy to censor in behalf of the federal government. that’s my beef with the folksy view of old Twitter
But that hasn't changed. If anything it's going to be far worse. The owner of Twitter is literally going to be part of the Federal government. It seems naive to think he won't manipulate or censor it on behalf of the government or his own interests.
Also, its "format" probably contributed significantly to political polarization: specifically, restricting tweets to 140 characters made it tedious for a writer to provide and a reader to obtain a detailed explanation of anything, but made it easier for a writer to join a mob with a simple message.

It is a program. What has become political is society. Bluesky and Twitter are just the two sides of the fracture manifesting as online discussion spaces. Bluesky users are just as polarized as Twitter users, but perhaps more in line with what you’re comfortable with reading.
I find the product division between 1Password 7 and 1PasswordX confusing. I've been a standalone user since the start, and it's hard not to feel like I'm on the unblessed path. Clearly AgileBits wants reoccurring revenue, so it's in their best interest to push everyone over to that model. I find myself periodically feeling anxious that one day I'll wake up and they'll have just removed the option to sync with other providers like iCloud or Dropbox.
Hi EmersonL. Ben from 1Password here. I'm sorry for the confusion. 1Password 7 and 1Password X are very different offerings. 1Password X is a membership-only browser extension that does not require a desktop application. It is great for folks on Linux or ChromeOS who cannot use one of our desktop applications. Those who are on Mac/Windows who are using either membership or standalone are likely to better enjoy 1Password 7 which can offer a richer experience and better integration with the host operating system.
