On not wanting to be a creator of things
This article was going to be about the talk DHH gave as the opening keynote to Rails World 2026. Escpecially about a single idea from it: Instead of being a programmer/engineer you’ll be a Professional Maker of Things. Fucking fantastic. No I do not want to Make Things escpecially not Professionally. I want to think, experiment and stumble upon the beauty of a working solution for the sake of the probleem not for the sake of a Product.
I was gonna write more aobut this, however I was just rambling and realized that the whole entry just basically boils down to:
I like and want to think. The 1000x engineer is stupid. Omarchy is just a bunch of dotfiles and not a distro and other things should get funding. And DHH is stupid and bad.
