My mattress literally failed to wake me up because of us-east-1 was down

I am this close 🤏 to go to the cave for 5 years and reinvent literally everything in software:
1) AI friendly backend with DSL like language that is much more high level than HTTP request, with a cool protocol. (Even Kotlin doenst even have a nice ORM!! Typescript is still single thread === multi server should be supported from the start)
2) New React Native - a proper animation engine that uses renderthread/renderprocess, that have built in multithreading, all standard libraries already baked in, decoupled js part and allow having any language. Kotlin native but with real Native UI on iOS? All big 3 (flutter, rn, kotlin) sucks currently.
3) AI CLI agentic system to build all of this.

This is all is so straightforward.

btw now it is possible to hack alexa to get android on it and vibecode your ui easily. just don’t use js it would be slow but compose is flawless

Anybody else notice that Gemini 3 does not seem as good as it used to be? Did they quantize the model?

i am starting to feel that skill imbalances in the world are not because of some natural talents of one individual and lack thereof in another. it is more like a bad start in learning things. similar to when you try to learn something and then you learn it incorrectly. people spend time and time doing stuff incorrectly and then it accumulates and multiplies. it doesn’t sound like much - you can always re-learn - but in practice i doubt anyone would learn something from scratch. if you learned how to drive and you acquired wrong reflexes - you are not going to re-learn anything, you will just carry on with your life. imagine you didn’t build a behavior of resting your leg on the brakes? why would you bother to change something? how will you even learn that you are doing something wrong? chances that you will get there are next to none.

such problems then multiply - bad ideas, bad principles, bad knowledge. bad driving skills will lead to lacking understanding of a probabilistic nature of the world which will lead a person to aim for local maxima. or not learning to ride a bicycle leads to an overly cautious life which leads to anxiety and then to depression.

is it like a butterfly effect?

you start by not learning some skill and it permanently shuts off some knowledge branch, some part of life.

some people do this a lot, maybe even everyone does this to some extent

and this stuff simply divides people and the poor become poorer and the rich richer​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

the most universal thing that gives the most success is simply always betting on the best performers. picking the best team/people around you based on your own taste (not what some anonymous crowd thinks) consistently yields good outcomes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

looking back when i did that it always worked. eventually best performers became not so best and you have to switch to a new (usually much better) ones.

rinse and repeat.

any time i did choose differently - it failed

for example if you see the exited founder that can’t perform - they won’t start perform again or at least soon. if you see someone with huge amount of money but that can’t perform - they will never will. some failing “friend” and you help them - they will never recover because of you and they would abandon you any time they start a new life without old problem. most people can’t be successful second time, it is very rare so it doesn’t make sense to work with such people. you see someone with decent skills - they won’t handle the pressure of a startup. always bet on best performers that is within your orbit.
