alt Hacker NewsInternet was a fun place … until they turned into s.. with ads all over. Social media destroyed it.
AI is killing creativity and human collaboration; those long nights spent having pizza and coffee while debugging that stubborn issue or implementing yet another 3D engine… now it is all extremely boring.

Older people like me could say that the Internet was a fun place until AOL came along.
IMO we're going to just have to deal with AI, like it or not.

One could also say Multi-Drug Therapy killed the solidarity and shared struggle found in leper colonies.
You can still debug that hobby 3D engine any way you want. Anything you could do 5 years ago you can still do now.
There is an entire new world of people having fun with LLM coding. There are people having fun with social media, too. These people having fun with their thing doesn’t make your thing less fun for you to do.
Let people enjoy things. You can do your own thing and they do theirs. The internet is a big place and there’s room for everyone to find their own way to have fun. If you can’t enjoy your thing because someone else is doing it differently, that’s a you problem.
