Probably should unsubscribe from a chunk of professional devs in my feed eventually. Especially if I want to continue enjoying code.

Too much AI, which annoys for all the standard reasons. The big one right now: they seem at peace that pay-to-play development is a shut door for so many.

"Subscription's not much, and usage is pennies!"

"Not much" on dev pay, sure. How many subscriptions do you have for this flow anyways?

"But VS cost even more in the 1990s!"

Yes. That's why I got into Linux.
