I switched 4 months later. Adoption and extendability beat a stack you enjoy. AI didn't change that - it just made maintenance cost visible. Unless you're ready to make maintaining it a gig.02 Nov 2026 14:54 +0000at://did:plc:vt4umsfuqlh62e2dssgraavp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzdld7of3n2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/elilap.bsky.social/post/3mzbms3becy2gI got into that low state today, when YT was endlessly suggesting videos from ex-engineers. And it's hard to stay positive. But then I reached my openclaw for a small tweak. And here I am @ 10PM Sunday debugging tons of AI logs to figure out why the performance is degrading.01 Nov 2026 20:15 +0000at://did:plc:vt4umsfuqlh62e2dssgraavp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzbms3becy2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/elilap.bsky.social/post/3mz4iinizlq2mI walked out of The Odyssey.

The disaster has happened and contamination is spreading. More powerful AI helps to open gates that were always too big and too heavy. FOMO and unrealistic pressure on conventional IT, spiced with neuroslop is a second act of this drama.30 Oct 2026 10:00 +0000at://did:plc:vt4umsfuqlh62e2dssgraavp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mz3jjkc2kg2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/elilap.bsky.social/post/3myyqmvwiny2qWe are back to 1986 and Chernobyl in IT is just about to happen.
